Final Fantasy 8 did this, if I remember correctly.

I was in pre-school and it was my turn to clean up and sweep the floor. Instead, I put that broom between my legs and pretended to be a witch.

*sigh* Good times…

I usually buy them pre-sliced in cubes, which is what makes it so convenient as a snack. You can just pop one in your mouth while they’re still frozen, just be careful with brain freeze :)
Alternatively you put them in a small bowl and eat them with a fork after they’ve thawed.

My favorite is frozen mango. I like to eat them as a quick cold snack straight from the freezer.

Another one is raw carrots with hummus as a dip.

Good luck today! It sounds like you’ll have a busy day ahead of you. Hope you still get to enjoy today in some way though.

I’ve been off since Christmas and won’t start work until Monday. It’s coming out of my vacation days mostly, but I always end up having too many left over at the end of the year anyway.
My partner is also off, but they get a mandatory vacation between Christmas and new year, on top of the usual vacation days.

Cuddling with my partner in bed. Especially early in the morning, when I give myself an extra half hour to just stay close together for a little while longer.

Oh and having to type
PARK
Before doing turning it off :)

I remember our family computer having an actual switch instead of a button.
Still did the toe thing though, down for on and up for off.

We both use baby for each other.
Which sounds weird for some reason, when I write it down like this. Even though we’ve been using it for about 20 years now.

I got engaged 🥰

Sure! It’s this one:

Of course windows is going to be replaced the moment it arrives :)

A small 8 inch laptop that can fit in my everyday bag. It hasn’t arrived yet, so I’m not sure if it’ll be worth it.
It’s my usual birthday purchase impulse, the one time I allow myself to splurge for something for no other reason than “I want” :)

I hope to use it to wean myself off of phone apps and have something that is more under my control while I’m outside.

I don’t have a favorite but Error Detection by Nemophila is an often played song in my list right now.

Oh good, so it’s not just me :)
SJW seems to be having some problems I think.

Oh dear, now I’m wondering if I’m on your list or not :)

I only have two bot accounts blocked, not even sure if they’re still active.

The Planet of Adventure series (it came as a single book) by Jack Vance.
It was more of an adventure book than sci-fi. Light on the science but amazingly descriptive with the details of its world building. It was the first time I could read a book and really experience it like I was there. I dug it out of my dad’s sci-fi collection when I was about 11 I think. It was a Dutch translation and came with a separate map. I loved that map so much, you could follow the journey and fantasize about all those other parts that weren’t mentioned in the book.

So yea, it’s the book that opened a whole realm of imagination for me.

Our car is called Tufje, based on some letters on the license plate.
My dad came up with the name as a joke and it kind of stuck.

Inattentive adhd. My mind likes to go on little vacations.
