No, I'm not fixing the typo. Yup, typo. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

If they were going to keep a thing around from Lantern Right, I would have gone with this decoration, not a weirdly half deleted illumiscreen.

Xiangling practicing her walnut summoning ritual.

So are we all just not talking about how Mihoyo took away the tables that these lanterns used to be on but left the lanterns mysteriously levitating? The screen they're shining on has also been left behind. #GenshinImpact

In case anybody was wondering, hugs time lasted about 20 minutes before moving back to just hang out next to the human time.

cat says it's time for hugs

The cat was not in one of her usual spots when I got home today, but she moved to the spot that she's learned is optimal for getting belly rubs.

Decided to play Urban Legend in Limbo again, got another trophy. Not sure how I didn't get that four years ago, but whatever.

The cat is sleep singing.

The shop's web site now has the new coffee from Timor-Leste available.

Proper seasoning for pyro slimes?

The manual also bears extremely tenuous relation to reality and is probably better off ignored.

The shop got a new office printer/copier because the old one had several things going wrong with it and wow, setting that up was by far the worst printing experience I've had so far. Apparently the trick to getting a Canon printer working on a Mac these days is to not under any circumstances allow it to use its own driver software and menu dive to manually set it up as a totally generic PCL thing.

Opted in to continuing to get free issues of Barista Magazine. I don't get much out of it personally (we tend to run about 2 years ahead of the trades on stuff that doesn't turn out to be a fad) but I leave those out for the staff to look at when things are slow. I also frequently know people who are featured in some way and it's nice seeing what they're up to.

Got the new decaf coffees that are ready up for sale on the web site. The last of the previous decaf from Ethiopia was roasted today so I've removed that from the site, but I have the next decaf Ethiopian ready to figure out. I'm still sorting out how I want to roast the new coffee from East Timor, so once all of that is done there'll be a blurb on the main page mentioning all of the latest arrivals.
