“Codger!” The lurcher was at it again. This time, he was chasing a hare across the field. It zigged and zagged and then headed hard toward the north wood. Violet left the linens she was hanging on the line–it was a sunny day, and warm for the season. “Codger!” She shouted again against the wind,Continue reading “Advent Calendar Story (Owl in Winter): Day 18”

Colonial Thanksgiving
I love this woman’s channel: she cooks like it’s 1799, with zero commentary. This Thanksgiving dinner looks pretty legit, and you know I’m a sucker for live-fire cooking. Happy Thanksgiving! youtube.com/watch
Madame Cleo
A throwback for anyone who watched late-night TV in the 90s…. I get the biggest kick out of these shorts filmed by a mom of 2 (now 3!) sighthounds, so I thought I’d share silken windhound Cleo’s Halloween production with you. (Make sure to tune into part 2 as well. Boo!) youtube.com/shorts/4bTH5-ayvD4
Loading…Review of Spiritfarer
You know when you don’t want to say goodbye to a character in a video game that you’re having a special experience. That’s the main strength of Spiritfarer: the designers at Thunder Lotus have put so much effort into crafting the various spirits you pamper, cajole, and coax into the afterlife that it’s hard toContinue reading “Loading…Review of Spiritfarer”

Chuseok Message from ATEEZ: Don’t Nag the Ones You Love!
Chuseok is like Korean Thanksgiving; it happens at the Harvest Moon, and everyone takes time off work to see their families. ATEEZ puts out a holiday video every year, and this year my boys are back with some practical advice for their fans and their families: youtube.com/watch
Wednesday’s Child/Loading…Review of Gris
This is the most beautiful game I’ve ever played, and I’ve played a lot of beautiful games. In fact, art style is a major factor for me in choosing a game in the first place and in my ultimate rating of it. For example, Final Fantasy 7 makes pretty much every list of best gamesContinue reading “Wednesday’s Child/Loading…Review of Gris”
Gosha Gets Some Snacks!

Wednesday’s Child: Fallout
I was reflecting on this yesterday, and I think it’s worth saying out loud (so to speak) because I wish someone had said it to me in my marriage.* If you’re in a relationship and you EVER find yourself thinking, “I’m not going to say/do anything to stick up for myself in this situation becauseContinue reading “Wednesday’s Child: Fallout”
ESC #23: Afternoon Tea Edition
Well, as usual, I didn’t take photos, and that seems particularly unforgivable when you’re stacking lovely little tea goodies on étagères…. But as there’s no going back, I’ll just give you notes on the menu. Personally my favorites were the mini lobster rolls and the scones, the latter of which got a little melty inContinue reading “ESC #23: Afternoon Tea Edition”
