Gibdo complete. That was a lot of work.

Progress, but I may be stuck. I’m running out of brown.

Saturday morning art project. I’ve been roped into making an entire Gibdo from scratch out of perler beads. I love how much my kids love the Zelda games.

Finally.

Oh. I think I missed a shipping notification somewhere. A happy surprise just in time for the spooky season.

It was a good day at the thrift store.

My coping mechanism for today was inspired by Linkus7’s Wind Waker run from this year’s AGDQ. Somehow my old GameCube still works, and paired with the RetroTink 4K to upscale with CRT Emulation, the game looks brilliant.

I got to play for about 15 minutes before my kids took over. Worth it, though.

That mask is legit. It kind of makes me want to build one into a full Snifit mask.

My neighbors are going to _love_ me.

What Spotify Wrapped looks like when you use your account as a white noise machine… 😅

I also listen to a lot of music, but not that much, and generally not on Spotify since I started buying vinyl.

Over here we’re starting off with a little Lee, Peart, and Lifeson. May need to pick up the energy a bit the later it gets.

I like this kind of surprise. My copy of theimposterkings.com just arrived. I backed the upcoming expansion on Kickstarter, and I didn’t even realize the base game had shipped.

Excited to crack this open!

It’s a Tom Jones kind of Monday. This was another great $1 thrift store find.

Finally done. Only had 3 trips to the craft store today because I kept changing my mind on the straps, and then I bent two needles trying to do the final stitching.

I’m proud of this. It turned out so much better than I expected.

Slow progress. We’re getting there though.

Saturday morning/afternoon is for crafting and music. Listening to Ray Charles (Genius + Soul = Jazz) while making an oversized, flannel tote bag because my partner fell in love with this specific fabric.

The trip to my local game store this evening was a success. I’m excited to check out these new One Piece TCG prebuilt decks.

This morning’s Pomodoro timer. Bought for $2 at an antique mall.

Discovering that my local thrift store has old records for $1 each has been an adventure. Today’s haul includes Holst, Mahler, Tom Lehrer, an original cast recording of Chicago, and these two gems. Time to torture my family with German dixieland and yodeling.

I wish I could dress like this for all my meetings going forward.
