So I put some honey on my bread for breakfast knowing the full dangers of doing so. And it happened. I'm sorry. But once you get honey on exposed skin it never comes off. No amount of scrubbing, no amount of washing...it's sticky forever.

I'm sorry for your loss.

So I'm at my first temple in Tears of the Kingdom. I'm pretty underpowered in hearts and stamina, I'm overpowered in materials. Should I go ahead and try the temple?

Or instead, should I try opening all the OTHER temples, hope I can hit all the shrines for more hearts and whatnot to continue, THEN hit all the temples at once?

First we bake, then we steam. They're predicting Thunderstorms (and pretty heavy ones) today. I'll believe it when I see it.

Brain: I have a great idea for a gender swap story. WereWomen!
Jenn: Brain, we literally read that comic last year.
Brain: No this is different. I this story we...I mean...and...but...
Jenn: Yes?
Brain: It's the same story.

One of my other destinations was the ghost town of Skagit City, and after seeing Park, Florence and Bow, and seeing satellite views of where Skagit City was, I'd hoped there might be SOMETHING there. But nothing doing. Most of the houses aren't old at all, likely 1960s and up. But I did see a few farm houses here and there in the area, so I'll toss it here, along with the one building left of "Milltown" on the old Pacific Highway.

After talking some history with a lawn-mowing resident of Bow, he suggested I visit Edison just down the way "they got buildings and everything." Edison, as it turns out, is a happening little town. A sign says "The Kindness Town," a pride flag greeted me coming into down, the tiny downtown was BUSY and I even saw a few artsy painted pro-choice signs in driveways. I could get to like this place.... (2/2)

You can't fool me, that's a TARDIS. This is TOTALLY a TARDIS. Maybe it's my TARDIS. It's my TARDIS now.

Stay classy Snohomish County.

So something I'm trying to do with Tears of the Kingdom and my personal life is two days of gaming, one day of anything else.

When I did the first Play All The Zeldas Quest, the last parts of that happened when I was laid off. And I literally woke up, played games all day, and went to bed. For, like, two months.

Some people got very worried about me, and they were probably right. So today, I went on a roadtrip instead of playing Tears of the Kingdom. And I'm going to try and keep to that. Two days gaming, one day whatevs, until I'm done with the game.

And today I roadtripped. :)

Where I am now.
