I'm so tired.

This week is Village of Shadows by Eric Buchholz. It’s a reimagining of the Kakariko Village theme from Ocarina of Time on a 64-piece orchestra, and it might be my favorite track on the entire album.

The coolest thing about owning a 3d printer is perusing the files that others have created and finding the perfect one. My husband found this holder for Nespresso pods, and he printed one for me in this gorgeous bronze-colored filament that I've been obsessed with. 😍

Chapter 16 has been posted! I've finally surpassed the 60k word mark, which completely blows my mind. I'm writing a proper story, y'all! 🥹

This week is The Andrew Allen Trio’s jazzy rendition of the song Katamari on the Rocks from the game Katamari Damacy. Such a fun cover. Excuse me while I go play some Katamari Damacy!

I'm really struggling with chapter 17. It's not taking shape, and it's a bit of an incoherent mess, currently. I know I'll get it right, I'm just feeling icky and cranky right now, and I needed to gripe.

Thanks for listening.

Our washing machine is currently off balance, so the spin cycle has become a rhythmic, percussive, hot mess. I heard it when I was coming down the hall, so I started dancing to the beat. I rounded the corner to find my husband in the living room doing the exact same thing.

Our eldest was unamused.

Happy Moments:
This morning I was sitting in my car in the parking lot at work just enjoying a moment of peace. I was facing west, looking at Betelgeuse, and wondering if I'll live to witness it go supernova when I realized the song I had playing in the background was The Dying Stars by Get Set Go.

Not again

Some rich dolt is going to pay *millions* for this thing, and how much of it is even real?

I dearly wish the people who bid on these things would realize how much further that money would go in funding actual science. I'd name a new dinosaur after a donor

This week is Keep the Moon Weird by S.A. Bach. It’s a fun reminder that music doesn’t have to be a serious venture. It can be wacky & nonsensical. This tune is such a fun ride. Enjoy, and be sure to check out Sebastian’s music. He’s phenomenal.

I'm working on chapter 17 of my story, and I'm gobsmacked that I'm still going strong. It will likely end up being right around 30 chapters with an epilogue, which is crazy, right? That's a proper flipping story. Wild.

Here's to taking a giant leap out of your comfort zone! 🥂

We had our quarterly gathering of the ladies in our neighborhood today. The food and conversation was great, as always, and it was lovely meeting a few new faces.

The absolute highlight was seeing my 76-year-old neighbor gleefully hop on the swings and immediately revert to age 7. It was magical!

I’m throwing a curveball this week with Hot Damned by Danny Baranowsky from the Super Meat Boy! soundtrack. Danny Baranowsky writes some of the best video game music since Koji Kondo, and Hot Damned is one of my favorites.

Y'all. One of my biggest weaknesses is wacky earrings, so the moment I found these I had to have them.

Look. How. Cute.
