The card game “Light in the Mist” sits on a tea table along with a gongfucha set and a vase of Lego flowers.

Picked up an interesting little co-op puzzle-solving game today called “The Light in the Mist”. It uses a modified tarot deck with hidden words. Interesting so far!

My beautiful boy Zuko wishes you a happy #caterday

The board game Undergrove is shown in-progress on a table

I got the board game Undergrove for my birthday! It was a lot of fun, and I loved the theme and art.

The worst part is how we’re all just carrying on as if our country isn’t falling apart around us. How people are being abducted, killed, stripped of their rights, and we’re still working like nothing is happening in order to pay bills, taxes, and rent because otherwise we end up on the streets.

New Year, new shenanigans.

Some beautiful Bi Luo Chun we picked up from Miro Tea in Seattle. We redecorated our tea room for the new year, and it turned out so cozy.

Two cars sit in an icy parking lot with the sun directly above them. The sun is haloed by a translucent sphere with rainbows on either side— a phenomenon known as “sun dogs”.

Tried some static trapeze at New Moon Movement Arts in Seattle. It was fun to try some familiar moves on a new apparatus!

The most important and iconic game of my pre-teen years, tbh

Secret of Mana. Never finished as a kid because my save file got deleted between rentals. Finally found a copy as an adult, and it was just as good as I remembered.

A Halloween-themed board game with cats

Purchased the Halloween version of Boop (Boooop) for our Halloween and cat loving 7-year-old. It hits a lot of marks— simple rules, cute theme, the encouragement to make funny sounds each turn. It’s gotten a lot of plays this morning.

Ricotta Matcha loaf turned out beautifully. Featured here with some jasmine tea.

In other news, I haven’t been posting much because I have had pneumonia since August 10th. On round two of antibiotics. Yaaaaaay 🫠

Ricotta match bread dough! Such a beautiful green color.

May I suggest the name Mò (pronounce “Moe”), the Chinese word for ink sticks used in traditional calligraphy.

That Flicker knows how to chill out

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?
