I like to read advice columns and my favorite is Ask A Manager because I really like Alison, the woman who writes the column. She’s pragmatic, but also compassionate. And she’s a rabble-rouser who used to go to protests naked to protest animal abuse. She thinks unions are great, especially now when employees have more… Continue Reading
For the past week or so, I was pondering God of War (Santa Monica Studio) versus Monster Hunter Rise (Capcom). They are both ‘old’ games that just got PC ports, which is why I’m interested. Even though I have a PS4, I am not going to buy any game for that console if I can… Continue Reading
Dark Souls III is my favorite FromSoft game. I probably don’t need to say that by now, but it’s worth repeating. By the way, I’m in NG+4 at the moment and was playing a bit for funsies. One of my favorite things to do is break everything once I’m this far in the game. I… Continue Reading
I love FromSoft games, but they don’t love me back. Ian and I have an ongoing argument about whether FromSoft games are for me or not. He says I’m the target audience. Someone who likes the game, but isn’t great at them. I maintain that it’s the fanbois who are the target audience, especially for… Continue Reading
I’ve been gluten-free (GF) , dairy-free (DF) for four years or so. I did it for health reasons. I ‘ve always been lactose-intolerant (I’m Asian) and it’s gotten worse as I’ve gotten older. I used to be able to pop a Lactaid pill and be fine with eating dairy. Right around my forties, that stopped… Continue Reading
I’ve learned several things from my medical trauma, much of it positive. I learned to enjoy every moment I have because you really don’t know when it might be your last. That’s the biggest lesson I’ve learned, honestly. You can die at any second. I mean, of course I knew that intellectually, but most people… Continue Reading
I love Dark Souls games. I don’t think that’s a surprise to anyone who knows me. Back when I first started got into them, I played them years after they came out. That meant I normally knew the twists and turns before I played them. I didn’t have a PS4 so I thought I would… Continue Reading
I’m the keeper of bad familial memories, which is not a pleasant role. My brother and mother both tend to forget the bad times. My brother said someone was asking him about his bad realtor experiences and he couldn’t name any. My mom will flat-out deny the negative things she’s said to me in the… Continue Reading
I attended my first Taiji Zoom class in four months and it was both familiar and not. The first thing I had forgotten was that it was an hour-and-a-half, not just an hour. That was a change made just as I had my medical trauma and I never attended one of those classes. Class started… Continue Reading
Blogging is dead, RIP, blogging. I’ve known this for a few years, but I’ve resisted it because writing is my medium. I can say things in writing I can’t vocally and I’m much smoother in the delivery, as well. Obviously, it’s easier to form a coherent thought and I can go back and polish what… Continue Reading
