I come from a land where the interval between two notes is such that the frequency of the higher note is double that of the lower note. And I work for BGG.

Omg. Thanks for asking. 💁🏽♀️ CW - for 2nd Gen kids.
I made it in a flurry, when I first created a public account for gaming. I realized someone had the one I first planned, so I landed on this one & just went with it.
Growing up “Your mom is a FOB!” was a common insult. 🧵

Look at my cute mom using the gym at her Senior Center.
She wants us to know she worked out for 1hr and they provide towels for the shower. 😆

When some coworkers find out I interviewed in person with a panel of several librarians for my *first* library job ... it makes me sound like I'm from another planet.

I remember vividly getting the Nintendo Game Cube, with Mario Sunshine and Crazy Taxi.

Pretty sure a librarian comes to my rescue about once a week but today three librarians collectively saved my life and I am very grateful. Good luck figuring out what the page numbers of things 100 years old and only held in special collections are while on a copyediting deadline without them.

Learning Yokai Septet. Scored it for $10 off of a local Discord.
Capturing Boss Yokai?
Is this Pokemon?!?! I think I hear that Pokemon was based on Yokai.
Someone direct me to the essay on this!

This was the trip that resulted in her putting 2 Junji Ito books on hold from the library and now Idk when we'll ever go back to our former rotation of shojo, slice of life and body/time swapping.
We're on an Ito bender! Today I finished Soichi, Cat Diary and Alley.

This time of year I would do Family Game Programs for Int'l Games Month. Not yet there in my new role.
So solo lunch gaming with Silver and Gold it is. I posted on Teams, but no one came. 😞. I will keep trying. 🙂

The only thing about being nosy and looking at the open homes in your neighborhood, is that if you meet your neighbor, you've already been all up in their house! And I look at everything. 🏠 👀

If you like learning about symbiotic relationships in the animal kingdom, this is a great book by one of my favorite children's book illustrators.
My favorite factoid used to be the sunfish and seagulls, but now I just learned about this anemone & hermit crabs!

I'm in my forties now and have discovered my body will now wake up at the same time every day. There is no sleeping in. Regardless of how late I stayed up the night before.

Stag's Lunchette. In the early 2010s, when Oakland first started to try out the phrase Uptown for a neighborhood right above Chinatown. It was the best pastrami reuben I have ever had. That spot is now Aburaya Japanese Fried Chicken.

Idk if it's because I'm listening to K-Pop more or because I'm playing a lot more quick gambling-not gambling type card games, but I've been mulling over the idea of derivative.
It has a bad connotation, but is it inherently bad?
Like every song from Cortis sounds familiar, but also I love it!

Day of the Dead in the Fruitvale. My first time in years not working the event. So nice to just be, and see everyone out.
