Leaving the house for the first time this week! I got coffee! And pet a dog!

Update: it looks like I *will* be going to Egypt to have a nice time.

I’m literally back to checking my phone/emails/texts between sets while working out 😵‍💫

It’s been a LONG time since I’ve woken up to rapidly changing travel plans and I can say with 100% certainty that I don’t miss this lifestyle! How did we do this for shows??

I'm just trying to go to Egypt and have a nice time. Goddamn.

Mood this week:

With everything going on this weekend, I feel it's very important to relay to you all that they have added a long-haired dachshund as a pet in WoW. There are also pangolins.

Every single time I have a trip planned to Egypt, the US pulls some bullshit maneuver in that part of the world. Every. Single. Time. I’m trying to show people that it’s not a scary part of the world, everything’s fine, etc etc. Can we just…not?

It's been an entire week of 8am construction/repairs and Emergency Friendship Procedures. On the bright side, I'm finishing my work by 10-11am. Downside: my brain feels like cotton.

If you cut the sweet potatoes in half, coat the whole thing in olive oil and a bit of salt on the sliced side and then bake it cut side down (375ºF, 55-60 min), all the sugars bake out and caramelize on that side and it is 🤌🤌🤌

So I tried the thing where you cook sweet potatoes cut side down and let me tell you, I have entered sweet potato nirvana. The flavor? The perfect caramelized coating?? I will be doing this with Murasaki sweet potatoes ASAP.

*sighs and adds several Etruscan sites to my VERY long list of places I want to go and/or excavate*

Starting the morning with coffee and Etruscans >>>>

I couldn’t find a decent gif but I’m sending you a digital hug and these emoji people will have to do 🫂

Got a whole bag of dumplings on deck for tonight. Let's go Fire Horse 2026! 🥟🧧🎊

Super excited for Ramadan as this means the return of all the confused/sleepy cats who don't understand why the whole household is suddenly up at 4am.

It's meeee

*stares in researcher* ...when was this made?

Because even in a fictional/multiversal Earth, there are still pyramids which means we have ancient Egypt, archaeology, and heritage. Obvs having the pyramids in the background makes for a lovely VFX shot, but do you need to put the large *thing* right there? Just going a bit to the west would work.

Beginning my movie catch up and tonight is Fantastic Four: First Steps. Several Marvel Rivals maps make more sense now. Am actively wondering if any surveying took place before a huge “bridge” was constructed on the Giza plateau…

Ancient Roman altars to go on display in Edinburgh Two Mithraic Roman altars are to be displayed as a part of an upcoming exhibition after being acquired for the nation.

I have now seen The Odyssey trailer on a big screen, which means I’m still disappointed. Just in a larger format now!

Doing my best to have a nice, chill week but nooo this needs to be the week people go all-in on extra dumb pseudoscience.

Seeing all the videos from the people who were the grass during the Superbowl halftime show has brought an endless amount of joy to my day. Favorites are the one grass that was milly rocking during set up and the one that snuck a tiny Mexican flag for the finale.

Mummified remains, usually. And if the name of the person is known, you can include that too.

Noooo 😫

SSX Tricky mentioned!! 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

Oh nooo! Hopefully not until after the party?
