Foggy Morning

Did you want to talk?

This week's Nintendo Direct had one big surprise for me (and I guess many others, too): The announcement of “Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream”. The trailer is so charming, and weird, that it almost makes me forget that they put a 2026 ('26!) release date on it.

The re-introduction of Miis also makes me wonder if there will be a bigger emphasis on some sort of social networking in the upcoming Switch. It would be great to see Nintendo putting their trademark weirdness to use in that area again.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Almost Bibimbap

I'm on a Korean food-making spree these past couple of weeks (mostly thanks to discovering Doobeydobap on YouTube). It's great: so easy to prepare in advance and quick to finish up for lunch. Perfect for home office days!

Cute eggs!

Few stores are as delightful to browse as Studio Arhoj. They offer a variety of glassware, ceramic mugs, and little figurines. Everything is really cute and very well made (I own two of their mugs, and they always put a smile on my face when I drink my coffee from them... Ok, this starts reading like an ad, but it's not – I promise! – they're just a delight!). Anyway! For the Easter holidays they have a new offering that I ABSOLUTELY NEED: Happy glass eggs! So cute!

Becoming Pin Guy
