reading:

re-read it's about the bones

more Blindsight! I'm about halfway through. it whips ass. I was expecting it to be kind of adventure/thriller-ish but it's definitely veering into horror in a way that's really fun.

watching:

for a little pre-birthday shindig I had some friends over and we watched Beetlejuice (planned) and The Dead Don't Die (unplanned)! former remains the cult classic it ever was, I haven't rewatched it since I was a kid so some of the jokes that didn't land then sure do land now. I have zero interest in watching the reboot, especially since according to wikipedia they are planning a Third One. jesus christ. anyways. latter movie was...fine......definitely not one I will ever really rewatch. the fourth wall breakage at the end made me roll my eyes back into my skull. it was fine. Tilda Swinton is really sexy

some mtg videos: Rhystic Studies The Molting House, There Are Skeletons Within Us, ; Vagabond Gallery The BODY HORROR of Phyrexia: All Will Be One

playing:

I have put twenty hours into Hades II since Friday. really fun! did have to turn god mode back on! I am not good at video games! I'm doing this the same style as I did Hades OG which is I have my god mode file (I'm at...I think 66% damage resist now?) so that I can actually. progress the plot. and once I have a better handle on the vibes/controls/strats I will make a non-god mode save file. I have reached Chronos twice but not beat him yet, and have only barely made it past the first boss top-side. Images: my first Olympus win, funny little Hera v Zeus thing that I think was the source of many, many Greek myths:

did a stone soup draft with some friends and I won't lie it was fun as fuck. not all of my group has their own cards, me included, so three of our six people brought 90 cards each. I had Six Chaos Orbs in my deck. it ruled.

making:

bf glazed this teacup..laid on a little too thick so the bottom bubbled, probably not food safe, but it's cute regardless

eating:

insane charcuterie board that my friend put together for my Beetlejuice watch party. sand worm shaped snax!!!

misc:

it is my birthday this week :-) I shan't say which day for the sake of infosec but I am oldger now
