A photo of an iPad sitting on the tablet holder on the top of an elliptical machine, showing the very final closing scene of the Enterprise flying off into the stars. The elliptical display says I'd been going for an hour twenty-nine, 15.92km, and burned 1293 calories.

Aw man, 1293 calories later and I've just finished on the elliptical while watching the very final (double) episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. It's always a bit sad when you finish watching a TV show that's gone on for that long (seven seasons in this case), though it was a good ending. Got me in the feels.

I thought I'd watched a bunch of episodes of TNG when I was younger, but it turns out I'd seen the first, last, and only a VERY small smattering of the ones in between.

Next up I'll take a brief Star Trek break and watch Warrior Nun, and then I'm going to dive back in with Deep Space Nine!

A very heavily-stylised photo of me, a white man with a short beard. It almost looks like a photo from a newspaper.

Fuckin' around in Prisma before bed.

A photo of a square white ceramic oven dish with food in it, beef mince is visible popping out the top of the whisked egg that's sitting on top of it all.

Lily and I made bobotie for dinner tonight! It's a South African dish with all sorts of spices in it, plus beef and a grated apple, and topped with egg. It comes out so creamy, I've never had anything like it.

A screenshot from Dragon Age: Inquisition showing a very pale female dwarf with several facial scars and an angular geometric cross-type tattoo going from one temple to the other and from the middle of the forehead down to her chin. The sides of her head are shaved and she's got a mop of white hair on top. She's wearing leathers with animal teeth festooned across it.

I finally finished Dragon Age: Inquisition (playing as a Qunari mage) and all its DLC a couple of months ago, and decided to go back and play Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age II since I hadn't before. Bioware added this really cool thing called Dragon Age Keep, it's a website where you enter in the major plot point choices you made in the first two Dragon Age games and you can start a new character in Inquisition and there'll be callbacks and history based on those choices. My new character is a dwarf rogue, and she looks fucking AWESOME. Kristina describes her a cyberpunk Viking and I'd totally agree with that. The background in DA:I for dwarven characters is that you're a member of the Carta, essentially a dwarven mercenary/criminal organisation, and the dwarves in general don't believe in the main human religion, so I'm leaning heavily into both of those things, and it's great fun.

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying underneath a blanket that's hanging down from the side of a bed.

Beanie's doing his standard nighttime "I'm not technically lying ON anything" thing again.

A photo of the two pieces of bread that comprise my cheese and tomato toastie with a bunch of small chopped pieces of capsicum sitting on top of the cheese.

I decided to up my standard lunchtime cheese and tomato toastie game with the addition of chopped-up capsicum, and boy is it excellent. Next time I think I'll add even more, it adds a really nice additional flavour and freshness.

We got home just after midnight last night and Beanie was very excited to see us. After he'd calmed down, he jumped up on the lounge and started FURIOUSLY rearranging his blanket. I always wonder how he decides that he's done, because it's inevitably just as messy as it was before he starts, just in a different configuration of mess.

A photo of a batch of small round button-shaped chocolate cookies sitting on a cooling rack.

Aw yiss, we're going over to a friend's place for dinner tonight, she's making this DELICIOUS beef stew, so I've made a fresh batch of bread for dipping purposes, and Kristina has made chocolate butter cookies for dessert. 👌🏻

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog standing on a carpeted floor staring unblinkingly at the camera.

Beanie decided he was going to just... stare at me from the ground, for an extended period of time.
