🍩 of the day: banana fosters fritter.. crispy, chewy, and soft with slices of caramelized bananas throughout.. maybe the best fritter I’ve ever had 😋 and it wasn’t even fresh (two days old and reheated in the microwave). 😅

It’s been a rough day and past couple weeks personally and in the industry in general but at least I watched Project Hail Mary tonight and was pleasantly surprised by the musical selection, especially hearing Dennis Wilson during a touching scene.. 🩵

Today once again proved that everyday citizens protesting their government are braver than the titans who own the largest media corporations, run the biggest law firms and lead the most powerful technology companies.

It got to over 80 degrees today, but I still decided to make pasta in cream of mushroom soup for dinner because comfort food is still comfort food 😅

More tide pool creatures 🦀 I feel like this crab hiding in its crevice and anxiously twiddling its claws about life while watching the ocean waves. 🥺

I feel so stressed and anxious preparing for interviews and planning to meet people at GameSoundCon, but I still took a few hours to explore some tide pools and got to see these beauties in nature.. 💜⭐️🧡 Let me know if you want to meet at GSC. ☺️

This is Denni. She took an unexpected babysitting shift when she found a baby koala in her yard. She cheerfully delivered the joey to her human, who put them back in the tree to be reunited with their mom. 14/10 (FB: Steve Lamplough)

Denni, a golden retriever with a sweet face, sits and looks up at the camera with a smile. she has a passenger clinging to her back. a baby koala. the joey's eyes peak over the top of Denni's head.

Denni is standing and looking off to the left of the frame. the baby koala on her back looks at the camera.

🍩🍩 of the day: passionfruit pavlova and peach cobbler malasada.. I might be a little extra driving an hour for donuts (and another hour to eat them for dessert at a fancy restaurant after dinner with a friend). 🙃

This is Frankie. Due to the devastating impacts of climate change and not having taken a nap for an entire two hours, she is melting. 13/10 (IG: frankiethepotato)

a puddle of brown and white wrinkles that we presume was formerly a bulldog puppy sits on the sidewalk. she has wrinkles on her arms, on her face, above her nose, and even on her belly. her paws are enormous.

Had a rough day of interviews that didn’t go great, but Mother Nature gifted us an exciting thunderstorm that I thoroughly enjoyed right after.. saw multiple lightning bolts streak across the sky and heard an incredibly loud crack of thunder after that. It’s been awhile since the last big ⛈️🤩

Finally watched Arcane, and good thing I have some resilience to even watch these characters go through so much. I’m not as tough as Vi, but I relate to her struggles so much, especially now. I relate to Jinx being dealt the difficult hand and never fitting in. I cried multiple times. 🙃💔

This quirky cute game is a breath of fresh air and helps add more humor during these trying times in the industry. I love how the pause menu is blended into the game world and not just a pop up screen. And you can’t go wrong with a cute dog companion that helps with everything and you can pet! ☺️🐶

I never finished playing The Last of Us 2 because it got too stressful, but I feel like I want to finish it before watching season 2. 😬 I’m so happy my favorite band is featured in this game/series.
