ㅤㅤ٠࣪⭑ for a first time doing this i think it turned out pretty good! it's not perfect but i was finally able to cover up at least some of the ugly ass traffic cone orange i have to wear to work every day.

ㅤㅤ٠࣪⭑ been having a really bad week and broke my no more delivery rule to get some kolaches 🤧 never tried this place before, there's so many restaurants near my new place i need to try, but this was soooo yummy and just what i needed. bread can heal all fr. the kolache in the first picture was a sausage and gravy which i was a little worried about bc i've always been eh with gravy but this doesn't really taste meaty as much as it tastes peppery, creamy, and herby which makes it an 11/10. also the cream cheese with the crunchy cinnamon on the cinnamon one....my goodness..... and obviously this goes without saying but the bread takes all of this up by 50 points. so crunchy but also chewy and pillowy and perfect and

ㅤㅤ٠࣪⭑ one of my favorite art forms is animation, and one of my unofficial 2026 goals is to watch more of it so i was delighted when this heart melting stop motion mini series that's definitely absolutely made for kids fell into my lap. fluff is like a spider, soot sprite, guinea pig, rain cloud, and a ball of lint had a baby with anxiety. i just lowkey binged like 50 of these, i adore how fluidly it's animated and you can tell so much love and care went into making it ❤️‍🩹 if i ever have kids one day they'd absolutely be getting put on to this

ㅤㅤ٠࣪⭑ new place is coming togetherrrr. i've been sitting here often and maybe i'll finally get to my 10 mile long reading list.

ㅤㅤ٠࣪⭑ first meal made in my first apartment!!!!! i also have a coconut bread loaf in the oven. never kill yourself it gets better🤞 this was so so so good and ridiculously filling i only got through half of it i'll eat the rest for dinner. took off half a star because it definitely needed some kind of sauce or gravy but i have so many servings of this for my freezer now i can make sure to add one next time i have this.

ㅤㅤ٠࣪⭑ moving day is TOMORROW!! i'll be more active soon yayyy. i needed to go to the bank to get a cashiers check for the deposit and my lovely sister was kind enough to bring me hojichaaa. if you don't know what hojicha is it's like matcha but with a more roasted and nutty flavor. this in combination with the black sesame cold foam was soooo 💛💛💛

ㅤ٠࣪⭑ meal prepping for the week but this turned out so fun it deserves its own post. banana bread flights are the easiest and tastiest thing to make i could live off of them fr. the reason this doesn't get a 5 star rating is well. i unfortunately omitted sugar on accident 😭 which flavor wise didn't effect much, since i had added a bit of agave to the bananas at the beginning. but in baking typically sugar is also structurally necessary so the texture of these isn't quite what it could be sadly but they still taste preeeetty damn good !! ㅤㅤㅤthe flavors i did were carrot cake, espresso chocolate chip, cinnamon sugar topped, raspberry cheesecake, choconut, and one chocolate and peanut butter one that i'm excited to try later. the espresso chocolate chip smelled too good for me to save it i gobbled it up almost seconds after taking out of the oven and immediately wished i had made a second one haha. the base recipe i used was by foodwishes, but the concept of a banana bread flight i took inspiration from bakingwithyuka !

ㅤ٠࣪⭑ i have been barely patiently waiting for this game since 2021 when it was first announced at e2. and i was wholly stunned by the trailer it looked sooo up my alley. and then it ended up getting delayed about 50 times which leads us to now! it's finally getting released in april (my birthday month hehe) and they just released a demo for it on the 11th which i only just found the time to play. ㅤ ㅤ now that i've played it i can say i am even more excited for the full game and i don't know how i'll manage to wait the next couple months <//3 the art...soundtrack.....lighting.. mwah mwah mwah. i will say that as cool as the fighting animations were it did feel a little clunky at times, i really hope this can be fine tuned before release. but the platforming and everything else was really fun. i also hope there will be more things to collect in the final game specifically like items and stuff. i love hoarding things 🥀 ㅤ ㅤ anyways this demo is free!!! and i think everyone should try it if not just to look and listen to how pretty everything is.

ㅤㅤ٠࣪⭑ continuing my journey of experiencing resident evil in order i just got to my first movie after finishing re4 yayyy !! this was definitely of it's time and extremely corny but i still enjoyed it. i mainly just wanted the story and lore and i got more than enough of it to satisfy hehe. ㅤㅤthis movie probably fits into the so bad it's entertaining category. my favorite part by far was when a girl was on her knees in sorrow telling her life story and the entire time leon is just standing there not saying a Single word 😭😭😭 and when they cut back to them again he still hadn't said anything it made me laugh so hard. i can't wait to watch the other movies and shows i know the characterization of everyone probably gets a bit better. ㅤㅤbtw the scene where claire winks at leon as the elevator is closing has been on loop in my head ever since.
