  • The Prodigal Artist Returns?

    The current climate in our office is leaving me not just a teeny tiny bit antsy. I don’t want to leave my fate and retirement in other people’s hands. Especially if those hands are elbow-deep in the AI bandwagon. I say bandwagon because it’s starting to feel like it. Well, how our company is…

  • Will my Beleziana be Able to Digest me?

    For the uninitiated, a Beleziana (Drosera x Beleziana) is a carnivorous plant with small spoon-like leaves that secretes globules of sticky substances. Once a bug lands–And subsequently sticks–on the leaf, it curls on to itself and slowly digests the unsuspecting victim. I had my first Beleziana I think in 2022. I bought it specifically…

  • Let me Have Some Job Security if I’m Going to be a Corporate Slave.

    You’d assume that having been a Corporate Slave for almost 16 years you’d at least get some assurance that you’ll be in that job until you decide to move on to the next or retire. Just this week, a bunch of my co-workers were given notice. It’s been months of constant restructuring and I…

  • Wanted to Scratch an Itch so I Looked Eastward

    I had another one of those days where there’s this gaming Itch (capital because it’s important) I desperately needed to scratch. Of course, I went browsing through Steam to look for new games to play. (Side-eyes from the unplayed games from my library) I added a couple of cozy games in my cart and…

  • Being the Very Best That There Ever Was!

    Of course, I’m talking about Pokémon. Pokémon Go to be more precise. But Sera, is that still a thing? Of course it is! Just because it’s out of your radar doesn’t mean it’s no longer within other people’s. I grew up playing Pokémon on the tiny screen of a Game Boy color which I…

  • I Love the Rain (Until the Toads Come Out).

    Petrichor and just wanting to curl up and continue sleeping. Those are what I love. If you add it on a day when you don’t have any errands or work then you have a clear winner. I have a lot of fond memories about the rain. I Love the Rain. I grew up in…

  • Bribing Cats to be my Friends.

    Over the past few months I’ve been trying to make friends with the neighborhood stray cats. I quickly discovered that earning a cat’s trust isn’t as simple as offering treats. Every cat has its own personality, and that’s become part of the fun. There’s this female cat living on a storage house beside our…
