"hold me," she said, "love me to death"
# For the second week running, the son of one of the regulars at work has tried to convince me to play Baldur's Gate 3.
He does not seem to realise he is fighting a losing battle*, but he is in his late teens/early twenties at best. I remember being that age and thinking everything I liked was hot shit and everyone else was wrong. He will learn (I hope; he does seem like a decent lad, so fingers crossed).
I also got into linguistic wrangling with another regular about whether being vegetarian means you can't eat fish (he seems to think it does, and maybe I shouldn't have said pescetarian to him because I don't know as he knew what I meant. Not because I think he's an idiot, but how often does anyone use that word?)
*I have no desire to play BG3 at all, let alone have anything capable of running it even if I did want to.
# A couple of weeks ago, I bought Jazz what I think is the best toy ever. As in she immediately played with it and hasn't stopped since (her radiator bed remains untouched).
Aldi were selling smooth wooden balls, so I got her one and she loves it! Although it does keep getting stuck in random places (so I have to fish it out), and it makes a loud SMACK! sound when it hits the living room door or the fireplace, as it is a solid piece of pine wood, but I'll deal with that because of how pleased I am that she'll play with it at all.
Best £2 I ever spent :D
(Talking of Jazz - I don't know if I mentioned the new bed I built? The last one was a divan, but the new one has space underneath it, and she likes it sit under there and tell me where she is. Also this one is closer to the floor, so it's easier for her to jump up on as well).
# itch.io has a bundle of 467 TTRPGs for just $5 (/£4.05 at the time of writing) in support of trans people in Ohio - I would not have found out about it but that a friend on fb posted about it, so I am passing this knowledge onto you, also.
I've always wanted to buy one of these bundles, but either not known about them, or not had the spare money. And now I do, and five bucks in nothing for all those games. (You also have the option of paying more if you want to).
(...and now I'm thinking about writing RPGs again...Although that's a vague lie - I was thinking about one I started but I have not finished just yesterday, before I even saw my friend's post).
# That's all I've got for now, I think.
