Got sick and ended up in the emergency room! But I recovered enough to go to Dirt Candy in the evening after sleeping a bunch in the daytime. Dirt Candy was ridiculously awesome and I’m so glad we went to this cool vegetable restaurant!

Game from The Elephant

Dec 24, 2025swankivy2025, Hangoutsfriends, jeaux

Jeaux and I were watching The Elephant and I noticed a QR code on someone’s video game in the show. I speculated on what it might do and Jeaux got up and scanned it. It turned out to be a real playable version of the game that the character was playing on the screen!
