Last thing I saw was Potted Potter at the Panasonic Theatre (also in Toronto, and over a decade ago now). Both of those Theatres have probably since changed their names. I remember the Sony Centre being called the…

Base Game Legacy Challenge

(For Lack of a Better Name) This Challenge starts with a “Generation Zero”. This Encompasses your Founder sim and your Baby Renny (gender neutral term for Baby Mommy/Daddy). As they are “Gen Zero”, they do not have the same set of limitations. This is also the only Gen where I’ve assigned Traits to the sim. I’m a bit more lenient with this version. For example, you can choose which career…

Writing Prompt #10

Daily writing promptWhat is your middle name? Does it carry any special meaning/significance?View all responses Nicole.  No it does not. My mum thought it sounded good following Katey. And so many of her friends/co-workers were naming their daughters Nicole as a first name, and although she liked it, she didn’t want me to be one of 10 Nicole’s in my class growing up.  The funny thing about…

Fig's Faves

aka My Blind Dog’s Favourite Toys Why is it so difficult to find a list of toys suitable for blind dogs on the internet? I swear on every list I look at there is at least one “light up” toy that is completely useless for a blind dog – I bet those ones are great for deaf dogs but definitely not dogs with little to no vision.Thus my list. Blind dog approved*. *Mileage may vary. Some blind dogs…

You know in general my follower count goes up really slowly so I easily forget that most people don’t have 42,000 clowns doing improv with them because y’all trickle in so gradually that I didn’t notice at what point this dnd game turned into a football stadium

Auntie K

It’s official! I’m an aunt now. My niece, firstborn of my baby brother and my SIL, was born in Australia. She will have dual Canadian and Australian citizenship. My other brother (both of them are younger but I distinguish them by calling them “younger and “baby” brother) had decided he wants to be called UK (as an homage to his own uncle [U.P.] and John Candy’s character Uncle Buck). I still…

Fig's First Update

Main points: She has been living with me full-time since the start of November BUT it has been 2 months since she was officially adopted! Her Birthday has happened! According to her medical records from the Sacramento SPCA, her Birthday is January 12th – but we aren’t sure if that’s her actual birth date or an estimate made by their vets. Either way, I celebrated her birthday on January…

I realise I almost never post directly from here anymore. Most of my posts are from WordPress. Ans this blog has just become a way to reblog those WordPress posts to my main account.

If you genuinely like my content, and don't follow my main yet. I suggest you do. I am far more active on @katesattic anyway.

Letters To My Niece, 1

You’re not here yet. You’re still cooking. Hello My Little Aussie Girl, Whoever you are, whoever you become: you’re perfect. Love whomever you wish, identify as whatever gender feels right (and if you don’t identify as a girl by the time you’re old enough to read this, I hope I had the forethought to edit these letters to use the correct pronouns). You know who you are better than anyone else –…

Happy Anniversary to Me apparently

2 years as of yesterday. So, I had no idea yesterday was this site’s anniversary. I knew I created this one a little bit after creating a portfolio using my real surname but I’ve since let that one’s paid subscription expire because I rarely use it. I’m not looking for work right now, so, having that portfolio doesn’t really matter anymore. though, I should probably update the link on…

Puppy Parenting

[Bear in mind, I have a blind dog so some of these things may not be the same for your sighted dog.] So My dog is 3 days shy of being 11 months old (as of writing this), I’ve I’ve come to realise some things in the short time since foster-to-adopting her. Training counts as play. Mental Stimulation tires her out faster than just rough-housing. Granted, she love rough-housing, especially with…

Sacramento SPCA

So, there’s this page on the Sacramento SPCA where you can email them adoption stories and, although my dog was not adopted through them, she has medical records with them. Because of that, I reached out to them to let them know she has since been adopted in British Columbia (after moving to a different rescue in Canada where, as a blind dog, she would have a better chance at being…

Part one: The Romance of Outis and Kassandra

Better title pending. Some gods are better than others, but all of them yearn. And it’s their yearning that can get mortals in trouble. Every now and then comes a child that captures the attention of a deity; Kassandra and her twin brother Helenus were two such cases. From an early age they both caught the attention of Apollo. A bit of a jack of all trades, Apollo was the god of oracles, music,…

worldbuilding > Writing?

I don’t know what it is, but I seem to be all about world building right now. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve done some proper writing too (it helps to have an office job where i can jot down ideas throughout the day and expand upon them during my breaks/at home). But the world building side of it is more fun for me right now. And some of it’s pretty stupid, too. This week I’ve been playing around with…
