Friend sent a video that brought to mind this rent free thought again.
(At the time in 2023 people were very excited that the billionaire owners swinging by the studio were ‘so personable’ and ‘took time to shake hands and humanize themselves as people who cared.’)

Also, at dinner a very nice young woman walked up to my table and told me “You’re gorgeous” and then went on her way.
Whoever she is I hope she knows exactly how much I needed that and that I hope both sides of her pillow always cold, and may all her pasta dinners be perfect.

My old man dog is almost 14, which is ELDER for a Doberman. I am glad that I have documented his life thoroughly and well.

This abomination is what I lovingly think of as Canadian Loco Moco…
All the same things (rice, egg, spam) but instead of brown gravy Swiss Chalet Sauce…
Which I unironically love and will take no questions on said love.
(Next time will be fried bologna. Oh yes added a bit of cheese)

Fun fact: she was ultra indulgent when I wanted two kitties and a doggo for the cute creatures. (It was a dog, kitty, and bunny — which is better coverage)

It’s here! We wrote a book about game writing and narrative… and it’s finally COMING OUT.
We would love for people to check it out! This is a tome for all levels as we believe that sometimes going back to basics can solve even the most complicated problems.

Also me: “You are wearing a hoodie and seemingly leather jacket in what the Northeast considers summer you fucking psychopath. Of course they’re looking at you like you’re a wild person.”
