Welcome welcome! How are we this week? My partner went on a week-long work trip and has come back with a nasty sickness. The sounds they make in the middle of the night as they’re hacking up something in their body is truly the stuff of nightmares. And, considering that all the menthol cough drops have been sold out everywhere, I’m going to assume it’s going around. Be well out there everyone! I made them … Continue reading Links: Hunger Games, More Awards, & More→
Welcome back to Links! I don’t know if it’s the fact that January and February in New England is unpleasant, but I am so sleepy and all I want to do is nap beneath my electric blanket. At first, my New Year’s resolution was to complete a puzzle a month. I thought that’d be easy to do! However, the lighting in my dining room is pretty dim and poor. It makes doing a puzzle anytime … Continue reading Links: Horses, the Hugo Awards, & More→
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! I enjoyed the long weekend in the States and got some great reading done. I posted up on the couch with my wonderful electric blanket while it snowed outside. I can’t remember the last time I did that. I’m sure I was also motivated by the fact that Final Fantasy XIV servers were down for an entire 24-hours and I needed to fill my time somehow. Did any of you have … Continue reading Links: Terry Pratchett, Bonsai, & More→
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! The Boston area had its first real snowfall! Yay! My only complaint is that most of it happened overnight, so I couldn’t cuddle up on the couch with my heated blanket and look wistfully out the window as the snow fell. Aw well, maybe next time. I moved to Boston from Florida over a decade ago and the snow still feels so magical to me. The same with mountains. Austria … Continue reading Links: Bread, Reading Recs, & More→
Welcome back, everyone! It’s our first links of 2024! How are we all feeling? For New Year’s Eve, my partner and I attend a prix fixe, 5-course dinner at around 5:30 and then chilled out and played video games until right before midnight. We watched the ball drop and were in bed by 12:15am! Some of my Christmas items were a lovely, plush electric blanket. Seriously, it’s a godsend. I also received tickets to see … Continue reading Links: Spiders, Home Alone, & More→
It’s our last Links of 2023! Next week, we’ll be taking a break from content to run our Best Of lists, from posts to reviews to Cover Snark. I want to take a moment to reflect on these posts. When I started doing them, it was just a way to show off some cool or interesting things from around the internet. And it still is! However, I love that it’s also morphed into a little … Continue reading Links: Libraries, Baking, & More→
Welcome back to Links! How are we all doing?! I have such a busy week and I’m running on fumes due to a minor cold and from still recovering from the previous busy week. But we will get through it! I’ve come to realize that I really do love the Christmas season and now living in a place that gets snow has only reinforced that. Like…Florida has its own brand of Christmas style, but it … Continue reading Links: Magazines, Book Drama, & More→
Welcome back to Links! I definitely think this is one of the weirder titles I’ve picked. I went to Patriots game on Sunday and boy, was it miserable. I’m talking both the weather and the actual gameplay. Sadly, we bought the tickets during the preseason. In other news, I also think I’m done with my holiday shopping. Weirdly, my mom needs everyone’s lists by mid-October but then doesn’t do any shopping until late November or … Continue reading Links: Etymology, Mrs. Roper, & More→
Hello, everyone! How are we all? Recovering from all the delicious food? Lamenting the loss of the long weekend? I had my latest Covid shot and wow did it do a number on me. Glad I got it, but this has been the worst for me in terms of side effects. My partner and I made some yummy sides. My favorite were some hot honey diced carrots. I could eat a whole bowl by myself. … Continue reading Links: Dog Shows, Fantasy, & More→
Welcome back to Wednesday Links, where we are in full grump mode! You know that anticipation right before a holiday break, but then everything just seems to be going haywire. That’s where I’m at! Anyone in the same boat? In major news, Toast let me pet his belly! Linus doesn’t even let me do that. Toast still isn’t sure what petting actually is, but he’s trying and sometimes, he’s just not into it and that’s … Continue reading Links: Golden Retrievers, Star Wars, & More→
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! I’ve definitely lost track of my days. My brother visited last week and we had a lovely time. I can’t wait to see him in April. Now we’re in the countdown to the holiday rush. I can’t believe Thanksgiving is next week. NEXT WEEK! My partner and I have decided that we’re just going to make a bunch of sides because, to be honest, that’s the best part. I also don’t … Continue reading Links: Movie Games, Public Libraries, & More→
