🎮: Oracle of Seasons
📖: Cugel’s Saga by Jack Vance
Always a good day when I find a Ballantine Adult Fantasy paperback in the wild and in good shape.

And gosh I love this cover.

The Butcher of the Forest by @premeemohamed.com is the the kind of book that makes me wish I was better at more succinctly talking about books instead of just a generic “I loved this!”

I did love it though. It evoked a lot of pain and the bittersweet relief following an anxiety attack.

Read it.

I read this in Mr. Plinkett’s voice.

I collect playing cards so I was excited when I saw there were Frieren cards.

But they are SO ASS.

The royalty for each suit is just the same promo art of one character. The backing is just the same key art using for the anime.

These could have been so good

(There are apparently better ones tho)

Found a neat barmat to help keep my counter clean. Evan Williams Bottled-in-Bond was my first “good” whiskey and it’s still one of my go-tos.

Here’s the 2 dollar bill version of the photo everyone takes when they see Mario at Target

I’ve been really really picky about vinyl lately but this is absolutely coming home.

Streaming Arrow releases are pretty scant too and they always do a great job. All the Ys and Falcom stuff they’ve done so far has been a real joy.

Went with the marble swirls!

I pulled over so fast.

2 oz. brown butter washed bourbon

I fat-washed some bourbon in brown butter for just such an occasion.

And again.

I have this pen (a Retro 51 Tornado if you must know) that has these little pixel
art inventory items up and down the barrel.

I’m sure this is to evoke The Legend of Zelda but I like to think they were going for Final Fantasy Mystic Quest.

My two favorite seasonal sodas are now out and they now both come in mini cans and I’m ecstatic about this.

Tonight’s first cocktail is a Mr. Brown!

- Barspoon of vanilla syrup (I used a 2:1)
- 1 dash Angostura + 1 dash orange bitters
- 3/4 oz coffee liqueur
- 2 oz bourbon
+ a squeeze of an orange peel

It’s fine! A sweeter Revolver, which is one of my faves

I’m proud of my little orange twist tho!

Do splash pages count?

And this one’s a Blind Pilot, more of a riff on the boulevardier or Manhattan

Equal parts bourbon, vermouth, and Galliano.

The first one’s way better but this might come from vanilla overload because of using the Carpano Antica.
November 7, 2025 at 5:09 AM
Trying out some Galliano. Here’s an Aereo d'Oro!

Riff on a Last Word, so equal parts lemon juice, rye, Aperol, and Galliano.

Really nice and refreshing!

A rare time I post a selfie. Me at my most Falstaffian and a friend I had to save.

(I’m trying to do something big and bold with my beard but it’s not there yet)

I found a bottle of a 70 dollar 10 year-old rye whiskey on clearance for half off and made probably the best damn Sazerec I’ve ever had with it.

I will now sip this out of my Berserk glass while I read the matching manga.

(Matching my drinkware to my activity is one of my favorite joys)

Yay

There are few things as satisfying as getting all the heart containers in a Zelda game. Now I can go beat the game.
