Straight-Up Cat Content

So I have three cats, and I love them. I take the occasional picture, and when I meet other cat folks, you bet I'm showing off my photography skills. As a kid, I had dogs, gerbils, parakeets, rabbits, and any wildlife that would let me adopt it. My mom is allergic to cats, so my cat person era didn't start until my partner and I moved in together. If you're into cats and media involving them, then this is the spot for you!

Painting Nails & Using Stamps

When I was a teenager, my idea of painting my nails was a single color, painted over the whole finger, and then peel off the bits left on my skin. Perfect!

It happened that one summer when I was sick on the couch and covid was going on, that my partner told me they wanted to have cute nails. Back to the drawing board I went, and taught myself how such a thing could be possible for both of us.

The Cat Wants Breakfast

"The Cat Wants Breakfast" is a small text game I made, that is built using Twinery. It is inspired by one of our cats, Nano, who makes waking us up her self-appointed role. It's a short game that takes about ten minutes to play. I made it as a test, to see how Twinery worked, and am planning to make longer text games in the future...

More Resume Details

As a way to expand on and explain some of the different roles you'll see on my resume, I've written up an article, detailing those experiences a little further. If you would like to see a more traditional outline, you're invited to view that here, which also includes a download link for a one-page PDF version and an "interview" with myself.

Apple Dumplings

I haven't changed this recipe very much since I found it online years ago, so I can't take full credit for how magical it is. I've also lost track of where I found the original recipe, sadly. However, I'll include my notes and thoughts on how I've made my own changes to it since then. The prep takes a few hours, and if you have helpers it will be much easier...

Stuffed Peppers

This is a good weeknight recipe, and depending on how much you make, usually lasts about three or 4 dinners. I usually have leftover filling, that you can freeze for future meals. For freezing, I suggest putting it in a freezer bag, flatten it out, and freeze it as a sheet so it's easier to reheat by baking. You can of course add ground meat, or fake meat for added texture if you'd like...

Where To Next

Where To Next is a travel blog I made as a final project for my first Web Design class. When class finished, I decided to keep working on it, and update it as I got more into how to build up a site. The galleries here focus on places I've traveled to, and the stories I brought home with me...
