Shout out to my public library that had all the books I wanted to check out today!
And massivecups to public libraries in general. Serving the communities in a wide variety of ways and with so many more resources other than books.

New adds to my "curated" collection. (I'm going for less games overall, but more plays with what I have.)
These fill the slots for pick up & deliver, logic/deduction, and cozy/casual games
(Thx Noble Knight & Gamers Guild AZ)
Happy Friday Eve all!

Board game meetup day. Played Letter Tycoon (not pictured), Gizmos (fun engine builder, card drafting), Let's Go to Japan - tableau builder, beautiful art & pleasantly thinky. Then the Big Book of Madness. Coop, thought we were doomed until the last 2 turns. Huzzah! What's everyone else playing?

First attempt, homemade tortillas de harina (flour, lard, water). Glad to have a family of willing taste testers. I'd say 7 out of 10. Looking forward to improving speed, form. & size, for #burritos.
The amoeboid shape, did not in fact, impact taste - Ha! #tortillamoebas #cooking #tortillas

Ok, all. Final prod post. After 30 hrs & a panic varnish, my first mini painting in the books. Found a great tool to solve the tick marks issue, my iffy technique notwithstanding. Pics lincluded. Learned a lot, looking forward to paying with them at tomorrow's game day. #miniatures #boardgames

Free-handed squid emblems. No success in finding the right tool for defined tick marks so those look rough. Tried fine liner, needle, the exacto blade w/ inconsistent results. We'll say the mechs are battered for now & hope a satin varnish works some magic? #miniatures #boardgames #anachrony

Making progress on the other 2 factions. Lots of details to fix and add. Then varnish (all 4 factions) to get them in a game by Saturday.

Well, I've gotten two factions done. Two to go. (Holding off on the Pioneers module.) I'm thinking a satin finish varnish to maintain the metallic paints? But experienced opinions welcome. As a 1st time mini painter, I'm learning a LOT. #boardgames #anachrony #miniatures

Eek ... I'm painting minis for the first time ever! Step 1 is primer. I'll share inspo pics from the game, progress through week. Then final results ... maybe. 🫣 #boardgames #miniatures #anachrony #mindclash

Started this earlier & just finished. I'm finding shorter novels enjoyable & refreshing.
You can dip in & out of stories with everyday characters. (And still be transported.)
Look up the neighborhoods, authors, meals, etc, mentioned for a more immersive experience.

An online post to share my offline morning: More data learning, new book, sourdough discard cheese muffin, and coffee.

My morning so far ... making sourdough starter & making steps toward new job roles.
When I'm overwhelmed by all the things I CAN'T change, doing something with things I CAN helps. It feels like solid ground.
Cheers all! To brighter days ahead.

I just placed another order with Second Sale. Loads of used & new books at great prices. Got 4 Jasper Ffordes (incl 2 UK covers) for $18, and just ordered 3 Moers for $26. Both free shipping.

I made it through the week by powering through some #tableau fundamentals, made Dirty Rice for dinner, and some (new-to-me-author) #jasperfforde books arrived. Grabbing every glimmer I can.

A Psalm for the Wild Built by Becky Chambers. Novella, first in a duology. Lovely, and gives you some things to chew over. Rec age is 13+ but of course, that's based on the reader.

Sometimes, I find joy in the little things, like whimsy. This is a piece from "Ascending Cow" series by Blake Whitaker. Look at the little gal go.

@albertocairo.bsky.social @AlbertoCairo I'm reading "How Charts Lie" and want to make sure I understand this example in Ch 1, please. Both sets are the same image. Is this a misprint & each image should be slightly different? Or is the intention we examine each set, focusing on the titled element?
