If you see this, post an anime you love.

Next option for my someday memoir title, "Upskirt at the End of the World", and also, don't wear a billowy skirt to the windy coast of Portugal. Follow me for more hot tips.

Very cozy! Plus evil Queen and dragons, a nice counter to the dense Stormlight Archives we also brought to read on the trip

I still think this is a masquerade breach.

The cover of Rebecca Thorne's CAN'T SPELL TREASON WITHOUT TEA, a cozy bookshop with two women reading by a fire

I'm on to this read now, I like tea and books and running away with these ladies...

I just finished THE NAME OF THE WIND and holy hells if you love fantasy, you must read this book

Roz and Matt in the cobble streets of a brick Italian village in the morning

Lots of reference photos snapped and streets wandered for vibes. My bad ankles were tested. He said no to one set of steep, crumbling steps, not Roz safe lol

Just said, "Don't laugh, I'm drunk" while laughing, for the millionth time (approx.) so I'll probably make that the title of my memoir

Roz and Matt, in front of a yellowing tree in morning sunlight, do a light smooch under a sign that reads, "In this place kisses are obligatory"

‘Vowel’ comes from the Latin ‘vocalis,’ which originally meant “vocal.”

I am in Italy getting research done for my book. This is important research.

Adventures in Italy, wandering. I watched a cute street cat eat a bee.

We are officially on our way to Italy! Book re-writes and cooking classes here I come!

Some phrases are so well-known, you don't need to say the whole thing to be understood.

E.g., you can say "birds of a feather" without saying "flock together."

-“When life hands you lemons…”
-“Great minds…”
-“When in Rome…”

Such partial phrases are called 'anapodotons.'

Candles only have two ends!

Tonight is DnD and tomorrow is a Minecraft stream. The nights are creative fun with friends. The daytime is for work and general anxiety about, well, waves hands at everything.

OH NO I'M CANADIAN AND I DIDN'T SPELL IT WHISKY

I made us both drinks for while we eat. Noises indicate he likes taco salad. And whiskey.

He did NOT notice the grated cheese pile and harvest from it. I now have too much cheese, she said, in her nonsense words.

Next... assembly. He has smelled it and approaches. He would like a drink. LOL I can help you there, sir

Tasted it after extra chili flakes. Not eating it anymore but still tasting it. That seems right.

Update, it's just me, and the gin, and I've eaten all the cheese tax. Taco beef taste test... I think it needs pepper. It could be spicier but then I might die. I'm doing it. More heat.

While I grate cheese, I cut us both pieces for tax. He should smell this all happening and be down soon.

It's bubbling too much. Now it's not enough. I'm turning it off completely while I make another drink. We'll all be better on the other side. Also, cheese.

Gin is taking some of the blame for the spicy chili flakes dump. Is that too much? There is sour cream in the plan. It's probably good.

Ok, I know it needs spices. Heating nicely. Garlic, pepper, salt, chili powder. Digging for our cumin. I know we have it.

With gin. Not in the taco beef. In me.

My plan tonight, get tipsy, make taco salad. First, spicy beef.

Turns out, I am terrible at making calzones from scratch. I embrace this and accept I have other skills
