We finished Cozy Stickerville, which was way too addictive and fun to save for later, and a sick weekend at home was the perfect excuse to plow through it. It reminded me of when we had COVID in 2020 and could not stop playing Legacy of Dragonholt […]

More #boardgames for an under-the-weather weekend: Click-A-Tree (another Uwe Rosenberg game about sustainable farming in Ghana with clever gameplay mechanics) and Cozy Stickerville, an addictive cooperative legacy game about farming and building […]

We are sick with a cold and missing a fun night with friends, so I demanded #boardgames
All of these are new to us! Pacts, Hits & Outs, and A Wild Venture, which we had to restart twice before the rules made sense, but we really enjoyed it! (alt text on edit)

We have been rewatching Midnight Diner again (the coziest of all shows) and getting painful stabs of yearning for simple Japanese food. In honor of the karaage and butter rice episodes, I had to make tofu karaage and butter rice for lunch, with a little cucumber dressed like seaweed salad.

I realize not everyone has access to a perfect black cat at all times, so here is Camilla to brighten your #caturday

One sure proof that I have a writing deadline is that I spent a lot of time on a new recipe today: 锅盔 (guōkuī), Sichuan-style, stuffed with a crumbled tofu filling (with finely chopped garlic, scallions, ginger, and red peppers, seasoned with salt, pepper, MSG […]

It is difficult to express in words how excited I am that this has arrived at our apartment! 鄭和宝船 The Treasure Ship of Zheng He, by the designers of Yokohama (one of our favorites). #boardgames #boardgaming

Dolores is tapping your hand to remind you not to bring up you-know-what in front of you-know-who. #catsofmastodon

I woke up to that disgusting Vaseline-lensed NYT essay about how the world of Epstein was a long-ago different time when male power bonds emerged according to the ancient affective paradigms of NYC, lost in the mist of #metoo and I am desperate to know why no […]

Camilla knows that I am at my desk playing boardgames with remote friends, but she would like to remind me that she is also my friend and she also likes to play. #caturday #catsofmastodon

Kenny got really excited about the Brooklyn crowd actually singing and listening and not just filming the whole thing. He demanded a mosh pit and crowd-surfed into it. At one point he hinted that he had been thinking of quitting. Hoping tonight was proof that […]

This 10-year-old tabby cat has never loved playing with toys, but she has just today discovered the fish that flops when you pat it. #catsofmastodon

Ooh, these black garbanzos are a star. I made them with cabbage, sweet potato, garlic, etc with couscous.
November 11, 2025 at 10:19 PM
Winter #ranchogordo #beanclub shipment is here! The crimson popcorn is the best I have ever had, and the black eyed peas have me looking forward to 2026. But I will be devouring those black garbanzos tonight.

Every time I go to a friend's apartment, he makes […]

Last night on #caturday I was on my way to DARE to Karaoke on the Lower East Side, and I was fondly reminiscing, walking down the block where @mxtiffanyleigh and I had our first date 9 years ago, when I was surprised by this tiny airplane-eared bodega cat, keeping a watchful eye on her store.

An immmmmmersive play about Frankenstein!

Boardgame design has come a long way. We have games about birds, space, insects, abstract shapes, steampunk technology, scientific history, music, ecological preservation, and then there is this garbage. Still. Every year. Award-winning. Games about settler […]

Voting early on Halloween in the Bronx means you get cool stickers. It also gave me the occasion to report illegal electioneering at the poll site. (These Cuomo obsessives are out of control.)

This whole season of The Lowdown, I have been waiting for a cameo by my high school pal Ryan RedCorn, who suddenly popped up as menacing handgame dude in ep. 6!

Big shout out to the person in my building repping a 21-year-old British web animation for Halloween. I see you and I hear you.

Does no one film on the dead platform at Hoyt-Schermerhorn anymore? It's filthy like no one has stepped there in a while. (The extraneous third platform at Hoyt-Schermerhorn used to be used in movies, dressed up like other subway stations, because it is never in use.)
