Another journal

This week started off with a water leak and dealing with the mess of that, so of course the whole schedule was thrown off. Then, I had dentist on Friday, which also begun my annual chunk of time off that I take each spring, so I quite nearly missed blogging this week. HOWEVER I want to keep the weekly thing going so here we are. A post.

And yes I know technically I’ve posted this week as another flash fiction from last year is let loose into the world, but it’s not a *post,* you know?

I would do a link roundup but currently my second monitor is at the doctor’s (Chase is fixing how it is mounted), and I’m incapable of doing that sort of thing quickly with just one little laptop screen. Wait, maybe I am strong enough.

FEMICOM Museum, a very cool archive of girly games, toys and consoles. I love small archives and websites are such a nice way to handle that. I’ve not heard of most of these toys, but that’s less about me not being into girly games and more about me being of an age and temperament where most of the games I knew about as a kid were either Sega MasterSystem (then Genesis) or handheld poker games.
status: moved to *absolutely random shit (because I haven’t got a folder for these kinds of sites yet, the asterisk indicates a folder to be sorted)

DriftBook by Lur Noise over on Itch. A game about walking and drawing and exploring. I had heard of it then forgotten and was reminded again, thank goodness.
status: keeping the dang tab open because I mean to do it this week

Tiled Words. Hey do you like crosswords but want them to be more annoying (positive), but haven’t the mind for the kind with no clues or no numbers or whatever? Tiled Words is a great variant where you build the words that answer the clues. It’s fun and there’s a depth of puzzles at this point (they’re daily!) to support a big zoned out crossword dive if you are so inclined.
status: keeping tab open on tablet because that’s where my streak is

Coffee with a Codex, over at UPenn. As they describe, it’s a weekly “informal lunch or coffee time to meet virtually with Kislak curators and talk about one of the manuscripts from Penn’s collections.” It’s nice to sign up for the email reminders to see what is upcoming, but I never end up watching them live, which is fine as they’re archived over on YouTube.
status: already signed up for emails, shared here to round the list out

Okay there. A Post ™. My pomodero just blipped and some laundry is coming out of the dryer so onto the next thing.
