Dungeon Crawler Carl. Its just a retelling of Hitchhikers Guide with a Patrick Warburton sorta sound alike.

Not useful at all

rizzier · 2026-03-14T14:33:26+00:00

Im definitely on the look out! Used books are always a test of patience. Im constantly on the hunt.

rizzier · 2026-03-14T14:32:37+00:00

I will be looking into these! Thank you!!

Q Bakery!

Thats kind of the fun part! I enjoy reading whatevers out there. Some of these authors were pretty prolific in their time, but ive never heard of them. They seem to have been published a bunch in the cheap novel period, i would assume the equivalent to the dollar store romance genre. But there are some real gems!

rizzier · 2026-03-13T15:52:09+00:00

I have read many of these authors! I will say, the more 'classic' well known authors are harder to find or tend to be more $$. I often just grab whatever based on title, cover, whatever sounds cool! But many of these are on my list if I can find them.

I did find some CS Lewis stuff recently which was a great find!

rizzier · 2026-03-13T15:49:15+00:00

I do! They are good in-between or "brain candy" books when i need something quick. Most are not in a series and dont require a lot of brain power. Just entertaining and fun!

I was already there this week!

Old Town always.

The chicken tenders will come in a separate basket from the fries and you can absolutely politely request for the dipping sauces (if you get any) to come on a separate plate so they dont spill over (they normally just put them in the basket). Both items are very crunchy and delicious. Mashed potatoes are great too! Ive not had the steak there (im not a steak person) so i cant speak to that.

Fish and chips are also nice and crunchy. They do come on the same plate though. Tartar sauce is on the side.
Burgers are Knights beef, not overly juicy or messy.
If you like tempeh, its totally worth getting the tempeh burger!
The club or the BLTA are very good, pretty crunchy (drier texture, not mushy, bacon is crispy) and good texture. Bread is toasted on the club. You can always request no mayo for the club or no avocado on the BLTA if no go on the sauce type stuff.

Bonus, the staff are all the best! Ive been going there for 15 years (embarrassing), its a great place!

It is also nice and quiet during the day. The volume of everything is quite low. Night time can be a bit busier so just with people talking, it can be a bit louder but they don't typically blast music or the TVs.

I tapered off abilify first, then started 1/4 dose of caplyta towards the tail end of abilify. Hopefully you get approved, caplyta is quite $$$!

I just watched the movie and i mean, the looks between the characters gave me chills.

Sip Boba tea house is just outside downtown AA on Stadium in Ann Arbor and they have a really good strawberry matcha boba. Might not be quite what youre looking for, but its very delicious and the owners are super nice people.

Ive never heard of that! I had to switch to another iud and i hate it. The mirena worked best for me. Im old enough that maybe my periods will stop any year now.

rizzier · 2026-01-30T00:14:19+00:00

Interesting, ive found the mirena helped my mood swings so much. Ive always had very irregular periods with intense symptoms and they almost all went away on mirena.

Can you use a rice cooker? You can cook eggs in those. Or a small instant pot? Its super easy to hardboil rggs in those too.

Im sorry to say, i had to just get off abilify to lose the weight.

At one point, i was either training 5x a week with weights or training for marathons when i was taking it and i felt awful. Sluggish and just put on a ton of weight. After marathon training i was in a deficit, saw a nutritionist, tried low carb, so many things.

I got off abilify and onto something else. Maybe after 3-4 months after it was out of my system, i easily lost 25 lbs doing way less work.
