I didn't know sticker games were even a genre of game that existed, but let me tell you Little Corners is on sale on steam and it is so nice to put little scenes together while I listen to my audio books. Highly recommend!

Have watched Frankenstein twice this week. General thoughts can be summed up as follows:
A cartoon of a person with red eyes and sharp teeth on hands and knees, holding a doodle of a small person with a frowny face in their mouth. In the first panel, they are still/panting, in the second they are violently shaking the doll with garbled text above that implies incoherent growling.

Self portrait as a lil guy, alcohol ink markers and gel pen, 2025.
A doodle style cartoon of a person with poofy brown curls with arms outstretched. They are wearing mismatched socks (one polka dot, one striped) and are wearing cargo shorts with a carabiner of keys hooked onto their belt loop. Their t-shirt has a bright yellow sun and reads "cool" - the o's are over the sun and look like sunglasses.

The best part of Halloween is doing all of my usual work tasks, while dressed as a kangaroo.

Also shout out to CMH Astoria's imaging department for having little treats for breast cancer awareness month. Love my manicure kit and new polishes.

The best part of vacation is traveling with friends. Since I couldn't teleport @wiswell.bsky.social to Scottsdale with me I visited the Scottsdale Library and found a great vacation reread that happens to be written by one of my favorite people. Cheers to the Mustang branch for having it!

Discovered the prayer of St. Francis of Assisi this week. I'm mostly agnostic these days, but what a beautiful message to take out into the world as we move through it. Sitting with these words in my heart today.

More manicure whimsy! (Also, taking nail photos one handed with hypermobile fingers is...tricky.)

Manicure for weekly whimsy! I got complimented in the Dairy Queen drive-thru for them, which made my day. Also, thanks to some googling I now know this character's name is "Penguin?" and that delights me.
A green French tip manicure. Each nail is decorated with a different decal of a Sanrio sumikko gurashi character named "Penguin?". There is a small pink heart on the pinky nail.

I've found my favorite photos of both my cats. I need these in a double frame on my desk.
A gray male cat with wide yellow eyes and a startled expression on his back on a galaxy print bedspread. A black female cat with green eyes and a resigned expression in a bathtub with soapy water around her and a rubber duck on her head.

Whimsy as resistance.

Never have I been so devastated to see a kindle progress bar and realize I'm almost done with getting to experience a book for the first time. Not ready for it to end.

(If you've been trying to decide whether or not to read @wiswell.bsky.social's Wearing the Lion? Read it. It's so great.)

The world is hard and bleak right now so I am about to manufacture the fuck out of some sparkle and whimsy. Friendship bracelets and glitter may be unconventional tools but if they're good enough for Mabel Pines they're good enough for me.
46 different colors of chunky holographic glitter. Playfully shaped acrylic beads in a rainbow of colors with example beaded keychains in the center. Various pieces of keychain hardware. Three rolls of elastic cord in black, white, and rainbow.

Trying to take tiny crumbs of joy where I can find them. Took my home mixed luminous nail polish for a spin today, it is *bright* under black light.

I just found a new game on steam called BongoCat. It's a little cat that taps along as you type and you get points for typing! The entire internet probably already knows about this, but I just found out about it and think it's absolutely delightful. store.steampowered.com/app/3419430/...
