The Now Now
General
I subscribed to Crunchyroll Premium, partly so I can finally finish Naruto (I only had like 30 episodes left before Sony bought CR and made Naruto premium-only 😒) but also partly because I miss watching anime.
New year means new motivation to do 52 Weeks of Cooking! So far, I cooked: Singaporean Curry Noodles and one [ugly] Baked Alaska.
Art Projects
I'm going to do #BirdArtWeek2026 from January 18-24, hosted by Cornell Lab of Ornithology! More info on my blog.
I'm also planning piece(s) for Ghost Gallery's recent call for art: TONIC: A Medicinal Flora & Fungi Exhibition.
