Get Organized?

I had no idea this was even a show until I checked out two books from the Libby Library app and noticed the Netflix symbol on one of the covers. I’m going to admit, that I was skeptical of this. The books don’t really explain very well what you need to do. Or maybe IContinue reading “Get Organized?”

Brown Butter Sauce

I’ve made brown butter for a few things. Here’s a great list of the different ways you can use it. I need to go down that list and try each one. I’ve done it a few times for eggs. Cookies. And one of my favorite ways was doing a brown butter buttercream icing that wentContinue reading “Brown Butter Sauce”

Ocean of Possibilities

Last year I slacked off and didn’t do the Summer Reading Program at my local library. But this year I think I’m going to tackle it. It looks like there are a ton of fun programs happening at our local library and I’d love to have a good reason to go out. My stepdaughter hasn’tContinue reading “Ocean of Possibilities”

Inktober52 – Week 20: SHIP

Today, Week 21’s prompt should be posted, so I won’t be too far behind with these drawing prompts. I love that ship is this week’s prompt. It seems like Ocean, Sea, and Pirates are a big theme this year. That totally doesn’t have ANYTHING to do with the Johnny Depp stuff or Disney wanting toContinue reading “Inktober52 – Week 20: SHIP”

Josee, the Tiger and the Fish

Referenced straight from Wikipedia: Josee, the Tiger and the Fish (ジョゼと虎と魚たち, Joze to Tora to Sakanatachi) is a 1984 Japanese short story by author Seiko Tanabe. It was first published in the June 1984 issue of Monthly Kadokawa. It was later included alongside various stories in the short story collection Josee, the Tiger and theContinue reading “Josee, the Tiger and the Fish”

Vampire in the Garden

Want 5 episodes of anime that will rip your heart out? Go watch Vampire in the Garden. The storyline is heavy-handed, fast-moving, but fantastic. Vampires versus Warms. Aka Humans. It’s a “modern” day setting, which is really cool. You can find it on Netflix right now. I really like Fine and Momo. There’s not aContinue reading “Vampire in the Garden”

Inktober52 – Week 19: ORIGIN

Here’s another drawing prompt done! I’m running behind. I think we’re on week 20 technically now. I thought a family tree would be a good way to illustrate ORIGIN for this Inktober52 prompt. Different colored leaves for the different times in life that each branch experiences. And the blue balls represent the family members.

Monster Care Squad

What happens if someone crosses Monster Tamers with Studio Ghiblieque artwork? You’ve got Monster Care Squad. Whimsy. High Fantasy. There’s no HP. You don’t have the threat of dying. Ever wonder what it would be like if a tabletop game was focused on the roleplay instead of all the dice and min-maxing of your characterContinue reading “Monster Care Squad”

New NEW Hobby?

Fox Pick only has a Twitter account. I think. They were one of the vendors at BSides and I had a ton of fun while I was hanging out downstairs. A long time ago, my ex-husband had bought me some lockpicking sets. I have no idea where those are right now. I’m sure the setsContinue reading “New NEW Hobby?”

Friday the 13th was BSides

My SO was paid/reimbursed to go to an IT security conference. When he attended college, he actually volunteered and staffed the conference. Back before COVID and such. Last two years it was virtual. And this year they had it in person again. It was $25 per person to attend and children were free. We almostContinue reading “Friday the 13th was BSides”
