It's this girl's one-year birthday today! She enjoyed some dog-friendly cake and lots of cuddles. I'm so glad she's in my life. 🤎

What does this mean?? Are we getting a Koudelka: Design Works?! I REALLY HOPE SO.

I've been busy and tired lately, and haven't really felt like gaming. But I picked up Cast n Chill by @wombatbrawler.com and it's been perfect. It's beautiful to look at, and thinking of nothing but catching the next trophy weight fish has been exactly what my brain needed.

What's a poster you had in your room growing up?
A vertical poster featuring Rinoa and Squall from the videogame Final Fantasy VIII. They are embracing with white feathers and words surrounding them: "I'll be here..." "Why...?" "I'll be 'waiting'...here..." "For what?" "I'll be waiting...for you...so...if you come here...you'll find me. I promise."
