It's been a while since I posted. I finished my move to SoCal and here I am in my apartment with my posters from Immortals of Aveum, shame that game didn't find an audience and no one knows about it.

I may not have a fancy espresso maker, but my mokapot can churn out something close to espresso and the cheap milk frother gifted to me also does a good job helping me get warm and frothy milk for making drinks at home.
Like this cappuccino I made for myself.

Me and my wife dropped into the office for a Trans day of visibility event. I was on vacation this week since she was visiting this week and it was fun to bring her in for this. Can't wait till she joins me in LA come June.

My wife flew into LA last night and we haven't seen each other in almost 2 months. She is in the bay area finishing out her work with a school and will join me in LA after I had to relocate to take the job with Blizzard.

I really need Sega to give us a Skies of Arcadia re-release. I don't care if you give it a remaster or a remake or anything, just give me a way to play this masterpiece on modern hardware.
