not that you're biased! :D So far no one thinks it's worth going to Edinburgh, full stop? Although you're all too polite to come out and say it. 😂

2026-03-19 15:29:19 UTC

Okay, specifically UK friends (there are a lot of you here, I feel like?). If someone was planning a first trip to the UK--about 11 days, but that includes travel to/from Canada--what would you recommend? Starting from London. I was kind of thinking see London (lots to see?) a few day trips. Then it occurred to me I could take the train to Edinburgh for a few days then fly home from there. I want to resist the temptation to overdo it. And also, you're THERE, y'know?

I played a chunk of the solo A Place For All My Books today (had to go get P3).
I had the rival deck set to minimum difficulty and still found her kinda frustrating. I’d like to see how the main game plays, which would probably help me optimize my play better to deal with her. #BoardGames

Went over to my friend’s place and played board games last night. She had Forest Shuffle set up, but the game took so long that we never got to my game. 🥲 I guess my first A Place For All My Books play will be solo after all!

2025-09-03 19:44:55 UTC

When I asked P3 if he wanted to help me put the tofu in the tofu press this morning, he tossed his little dirt bike toy aside and hollered "LET'S DO THIS, BROSKIS," and that's what it's like parenting an 8 year old. 😂 Then he immediately went to wash his hands and when I remarked that I love how he does that w/out being asked he said, "It's the first, most important step in cooking, Stacey!"

Credit to “theotbutterfly” on IG for this idea: first day of school ice toss. Holding the cold ice is regulating, throwing the ice is fun, smashing the ice into the pavement is also extremely satisfying. I’d say this was a perfect back from school activity for a long, stressful day. I took turns too, it was fun 😆

Yeah? I guess? I think it’s the thing when you change, or your image changes, it’s going to make some people uncomfortable, and that’s okay.

P3 has been excited to be an artist ever since I got back from my workshop. He says, we can set up a workshop for him with a 16" x 20" canvas! I told him a canvas like that is $20!
"Well, Stacey, V told me that there are things that cost $1000 so...it's not that much, in the grand scheme of things. But can we start with something simple? I'm still kind of a beginner at art." 😂

If you want my unvarnished opinion, I just tried to re-read the WoT books last year and there are so many things I just can't with. Weird misogyny stuff, relentless cishet normativity, the relationships are weird AF. I know they're "of their time" but man. I don't know if they're worth it. The Wizards books I'd like to read, though! I should give those ones another go.

I like the first one! I read these first back when they were coming out. I think I always stalled out at book six. Or maybe seven. I've never been able to make it past there. @npub1uf9…z2g5 was doing a full read of them too! I can't remember how far she made it.

2025-05-05 15:16:49 UTC

What's everyone reading right now? (No spoilers, please, but tell me a little about your current read if you'd like!)
I just finished The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett and then picked up The Pairing by Casey McQuistion because my library hold came in. The blurb didn't make me want to buy it, and I'm feeling like that was the right choice for me. McQuiston books are always very *readable*, but a few aspects of this one aren't sitting right with me. (I'm at 30% or thereabouts).

Relieved this morning. Even though someone else will give him a seat, I really love that Poilievre lost his. It’s a little “fuck you” that I appreciate.
Our Calgary riding (of course) reelected the incumbent with 60% of the vote, even though she lives in Oklahoma now. Cons would elect a cucumber if it had a blue lawn sign on it.
Of course things aren’t magically great - we still have trade wars, Trump, tariffs to contend with and a minority govt won’t be able to get much done.

My ebike is heavier than that, but omg I love her. She’s a cargo bike so that I can pick up P3 from school, or bring him with me on errands if we don’t have to pick up too much cargo. It’s so fantastic for our hilly area, it’s allowed me to see places I’d never been before in a car!

Finding out yesterday that Princess Mononoke was showing in IMAX for only three more days (I guess it started on the 26th but I hadn't heard) I forced myself to drag my tired self and go. I've never been to a movie by myself before.
It was beautiful, and raw, and amazing to see it on such a big screen. I had to look down to read the subtitles. I knew that seventeen year old me would never forgive current me for not going when she had the chance. Both of us are happy.

Oh man, I love beans. So here’s the thing, there’s such a huge difference in the taste of canned vs home cooked beans, because you can flavour them yourself. Canned beans are fine, but if you’re looking to help yourself *enjoy* the taste of beans, might be worth doing up a batch in your slow cooker or stovetop (instant pot not required!)

Lately I’ve been thinking about owning physical copies of games. I mostly play #Switch now, so this is what I’ve got. I bought Coffee Talk 1 & 2 on eBay, Hades also on eBay, Cuphead and Zelda ToTK from a guy on marketplace. I obviously own many more games than this, but only digital. What Switch games do you consider to be your “must haves”? If I favour physical games going forward I have to know what I want to buy before it comes out. ☠️

I bought the printer with the idea of printing art prints with it. I did not print art prints except a few samples at the beginning. It sucks. We had a laser printer but it was a Brother V had from a billion years ago and it died. If I printed a lot I would get one, I guess! I know they're great for printing.

No, the process was pretty simple! I used the app on my phone to do it (so that I could easily add photos). It guides you through it, even down to adding shipping and measuring the package you'd send in, if you like, so you can pre-calculate the cost.
The issue I was having is that one person bid twice, one person bid once, and the bid has remained the same the whole time. But Liv explained to me that each person set their max bid at the same amount!

The problem I have with these requests if they happen during gameplay is it yeets me out of a flow state. I’ll usually click and close in annoyance anything that pops up. However if the message was on startup before I’d begun to play AND included easy payment methods (PayPal, Apple, something with no friction) I would be more amenable!

Choosing a floor again after choosing a floor four years ago is killing me. I want light to medium brown, looks like real wood as much as possible, not too busy or grainy, and not grey.

“mayo ports” sent me 😂 I don’t like when condiments leak out of the sandwich and usually onto my hand! nooo 🫣

Bread notes: bread roll looked funny but it’s still loaf shaped 🤷‍♀️ The texture is nice, I needed to roll it tighter (a few minor holes), to note for next time. I think it would make good sandwiches, or toast!

The top of this bread ended up rising really weirdly and in retrospect I should’ve rotated it when I put it in maybe? We’ll see how it goes.

I've done this. She just has stock answers, so apologize again and she'll answer something that will make you feel better. 😅

I'm making bread! The bread is this bread: https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/whole-wheat-bread/ ("Soft and hearty!") I'll let you know how it goes. I just put it in the oven set to "proof" for its first rise. Kneading it in my stand mixer was a bit of a harrowing experience, even though it was "locked" down it was bouncing all over the place. BREAD.
