a triangle lives here

an emerging detail from Snapdragon's decision to start using the toilet is this: everything has been motivated by a plastic toilet no wider than a dime.

Way back in--idk--probably 2019 or maybe even 2018 I decided I should learn a second keyboard layout as an enrichment activity.

This curry,,,,,,, I started this one early in the afternoon.

and you jot it down and then move on because you're not sure how you might actually do the idea.

This week Em and her dad have been picking pumpkins.

It's been a while since we've done a big bowl-a-ramen; it hit 51°F or something last night and Activated something in us, tho.

The last couple of curries I've done I've made the veggie base several hours in advance vs ~30 min.

The other day me and Gooseberry sat down to try playing Big Walk together.

eeheeheehah hah hah!

I once mentioned Gooseberry getting really into milk & cereal; since she's into it, that of course has led to Snapdragon getting very into it.

We got some bacon ends that slice up real nice into little bitesize bits; it just Made Sense to toss them in with pesto from our basil

...huh.

I don't think we made any maqloubeh last year, which is a shame.

sometimes you realize your kid is only five and thus: thinks farts are Ultra Funny has never heard of a whoopee cushion So you describe one and it instantly achieves mythical status; a tool to dream of and to ask for as a gift and to imagine how so so so…

it is Not Just Me who is so into big walk rn: "daddy!!

I've set up my website to be properly(?)

Big Walk rules.

It's tomato season, lettuce has been planned and grown to align: it's BLT season baybee We didn't have a ton of bread on hand, but we did have a tin of pop-the-tube biscuits in the fridge so we used those.

Kids!

I love eels.

I don't know that we biked at all last year.

Something has Clicked and now Gooseberry is choosing colors for art.

Snap, pushing an empty stroller, peeking into my office: "hi daddy!"

things like, "Yeah, yesterday we were at the formerly-a-swedish-fully-and-completely-communist-religious-commune town for their annual ABBA cover band concert", which is just forever something that will tickle so many parts of my brain.

Snapdragon, laying down, playing with a stuffed unicorn: *whooshing, flying noises* *sudden pivot* "waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" *pause* "SPLASH!"

We went camping!

it's my birthday!

it's my dynamic duo, my classic combo, my pb&j.

my little baby, 18 months old and running fast,,, but wait, she needs to go faster!

I've been meditating for the last long while on what makes a project Good or Bad.

The most recent Cooks Illustrated at the library had some arresting photos of popscicles.

Saturday was a powerful day; I hung a door and got S3S working again door As I mentioned back in [/routing] we're rearranging house.

me, trying to get a very distracted girl ready for bed: "hey, no more distractions 'tll these jammies are on and you're in bed; then you can be as distracted as you want" Gooseberry as soon as her butt touches her bed/as she swings her legs in: (in an exa…

Hey.

Em directs the highschooler choir for the group Gooseberry's Littles choir is a part of.

this is actually just a iframe repost.

Sometime last weekend Snapdragon suddenly put everything together, realized she could stand up without a support or assist, and has begun walking freely.

guy who has the ability to make blades of sheer willpower that rival the finest swords and just uses it to have one less thing to wash when cooking This is in a lot of ways related to this pair of Magnolia Siddell blueskyposts but also not because: Same H…

So baby Snap is, of course, a baby.

I pretty much exclusively use longtail cast on.

We're rearranging out entire house.

Grilled some kebabs; they turned out real nice.

Making pizza for the two girls has been quite entertaining; neither of them eat a ton and they both have very different (and shifting!)

Something little i am celebrating right now is how I've ended up being the guy who people at work come to when they have questions they perceive as stupid--the ones one is embarrassed to ask but you have to ask because your normal info gathering avenues h…

Listen,,, being a dad rules in so many ways but recently I've been able to revel in one of the Ultimate Forms: watching my kid Participate in The Arts.

I think there should be a game in the large 3rd person single player action game sphere of dark souls/zelda/monster hunter/control/splatoon where the shielding mechanic(s) takes the aesthetic and mechanical direction of a fighting game: you can hold a def…

I picked up Control for a song the other day; I figured I'd be playing it pretty slowly given how few my opportunities to play games without a sidecar[1] are, but I didn't realize just how slowly I'd be starting: this game's controls are my enemy.

it was a korma day
