I’ll add an image of the finished product when I actually make it again. The title’s just a reminder to me. Recipe below. These were an attempt to make sugar cookies that don’t get loaded with, you know…sugar, or a heaping of fat. They taste like a baked confection, but they’re more akin to maple […]

Carrot Cake (Need Image)
I’ll add an image of the finished product when I actually make it again. The title’s just a reminder to me. Recipe below. It’s my go-to if I want carrot cake, even compared with store-bought options. I like the spices and even a hint of carrot to come through, with the icing being more an […]
Coffee Brownies (Need Image)
I’ll add an image of the finished product when I actually make it again. The title’s just a reminder to me. Recipe below. I came up with this recipe in 2018 out of a desire to minimize the health impact of a delicious brownie. I’ve never been much of a buttery-juicy baked good guy or […]
Thoughts – The Last of Us EP3 – Long, Long Time
I’m not going to do a whole perspective on the series, though I’ve been hooked on it since midway into episode 1. I’ve never played the games since I lack the constitution to handle jumpscares and enemies like the Clickers, but I’ve read bits and pieces. From what I understand though, this episode greatly expounds […]
A Second First Time with Mary Jane
For once, an entry that’s more of a journal than just ramblings on random subjects. Yesterday, for the second time in my life—and the first time in ten years almost to the dot—I tried myself some marijuana. Specifically, an edible purchased from a legal dispensary after qualifying in an amusingly short screening process for Louisiana’s […]
A Modicum of Justice
For awhile now, I’ve been following the case of Charles Burton, an Alabama man who participated in a robbery-gone-bad decades ago. His accomplice shot a man dead, but Burton wasn’t involved in the murder. Yet Alabama has a doctrine called ‘felony murder’ which in essence means that even if you did not do the deed […]
Human Verification
GenAI, GenAI, GenAI. It’s the talk of the town, a strong and sustained interest of mine, and what keeps us all up at night—even if we don’t realize it. The S&P500 is propped up by AI. Consumer electronics are being sunset because of AI hardware demands. AI rules hiring, AI threatens creative expression, AI AI […]
Thoughts – Suit for Hire
In an earlier post giving my thoughts on the John Wick series, I made an idle wish that there was ‘a game in the vein of John Wick.’ One-sentence review? This is that game. There’s no real story, just short framings for each mission that justify the layout and enemies. What plot elements are told […]
Thoughts – John Wick Series
I haven’t watched Ballerina yet, but by all accounts it measures up—and as it’s a spin-off, I’ll judge it on its own when I get around to it. With that said, in a nutshell? John Wick Chapter 1: The pinnacle of ‘realistic’ action. Just like Die Hard proved to the masses that you can have […]
Thoughts – A Necromancer’s Tale
The first part of this review is spoiler-free, but after a point I marked (Ctrl+F ‘(NOTE: Spoilers beyond this point!)’ to find it) I do discuss story events, though I try to not literally spell them out. My one-sentence summary: The Necromancer’s Tale is the greatest video game story I have ever experienced, and on […]
