I have the worst craving for sushi and it's @spoonee.bsky.social 's fault. She found a spearfishing minigame in Yakuza and we kept talking about sushi. There's AYCE sushi near me for like 40 bucks, which is awesome, but they're closed on Mondays :( Life is unfair.

It was wonderful to finish Heart of Thorns with @whiskeypup.bsky.social From getting him started in the game to through the first expac in less than 2 months is amazing! Time for a short break to immerse myself in WoW because I'm a sucker for class reworks!

The CDC is trying to change language on safe drug use.
Wanted to take a moment to remind how vital risk assessment, loss prevention, and safe use are. People want to escape the most in hard times, but please don't be reckless. You have people who care, be safe.

One of the (not) fun things about developing an allergy as an adult is one by one realizing that some foods you really enjoy have a small amount of your allergen and you can't change that so you either have to give up the food or deal with the allergic reaction. 🙃Costco's chicken bakes have pork.

I was going to do costco today until I was reminded it's MLK Jr. Day, hours are going to be borked and lots more people are off. I think I'll put that off one more day. 😅

I spent more than an hour and a half on the act 2 boss of Octopath Traveler 0. I was 55 turns into the 3rd (and hopefully final) phase. I lost. :( I thought I was overprepared. I was not. I think I'll come back to it later. Maybe some Bravely Default in the mean time.

I'm always a little flattered when I get served ads in Spanish, like, oh you think I speak multiple languages, that's so nice of you. Unfortunately I couldn't converse my way out of a paper bag in anything but English.

The nature of the LitRPG genre lends itself well to the mix but I still appreciate it so much when a good story is written as a fantasy and then partway through the series it is revealed that you're actually in a sci-fi universe.

A not quite finished lunch. Everything is so easy and fast to prep and then my chicken takes half an hour in the air fryer. It's worth the wait, but I'm hungy now. 😭

AGDQ ends tonight and I think to fill the void I will binge watch Ronin Warriors so that when episode 2 of Samurai Troopers comes out I'm properly caught up.

The intro cinematic for DW7 ReImagined is so good. They have absolutely nailed the visual styling here. I already knew I was getting the deluxe edition but now I know I'll be enjoying eye candy every step of the way

I've done my first bit of anime watching for the winter season. Of the three shows I've watched I plan to continue them all.
Isekai Office Worker I recommend wholeheartedly. Feels gay, and I like that.
Kunon and Noble Reincarnation I wouldn't necessarily recommend but I will keep watching them.

I've got lunch plans with some awesome friends and headed out a bit early. I have been putting off buying a partition for my office and I now also need a new comforter for my bed since my quilt has died. Luckily there is an Ashley Furniture across the road. Unfortunately they no longer sell either 🫠

For like 2 hours my body was craving some kind of food and I couldn't figure out what. It was El Pollo Loco. Someone mentioned that one is being built like an hour away from me and apparently my subconscious couldn't let that go. The next closest option is Taco Time...which is not happening.
