Wear, Watch, Want #208: The Cozy, Comfy, Caffeinated Edition
Wear: Tie Dye Fleece Sweatshirt
I am currently out of town, in California, and when I was packing I thought, “You don’t need to pack five sweatshirts, it’s California!” Which was only kind of true. It’s been around 70 here, but I cannot regulate my own body temperature, and I needed a big ol’ sweatshirt BADLY. I grabbed this fleecy tie dye so-ugly-it’s-cute sweatshirt at Target, and I have been LIVING in it. I love this thing. It is perfect. I thought maybe I’d leave it here and get it another time, but this baby is coming HOME to Seattle with ME, TOMORROW.
Watch Play: Cozy Grove
I haven’t watched anything new. What I have done consistently for the past 82 days is play Cozy Grove each morning while I drink tea and eat breakfast. I got a coupon through Target for six months of free of an Apple service, but it had to be one you’ve never used before. That left me with Apple Arcade. I had no interest in Apple Arcade, but it was free and I was bored, and now I’m obsessed with Cozy Grove and it is an essential part of my morning routine.
You’re a scout, stranded on an island populated with ghost bears, and each day you have to complete tasks for the bears so they can eventually find peace and ascend to… bear heaven? Honestly I don’t pay too much attention to the dialogue. I just like a game where I have to find and make things, and it only requires like, 30 minutes a day to feel like you’ve accomplished everything in your virtual world. When my six month trial is up, I may have to pay for Apple Arcade until I get all my Cozy Grove quests done, so I guess well done Apple, your little trick worked like a charm. (Cozy Grove is available on other platforms, but I don’t own any of them. Have I considered buying a Nintendo Switch solely to play Cozy Grove and other cozy games? YEAH OF COURSE AND MAYBE I WILL.)
Want: Nespresso
What’s the latest thing TikTok has made me think I MUST have, but will most likely be perfectly fine without? A NESPRESSO! I want to make floofy coffee drinks at home! I want to put syrups in a pretty glass cup, add my flavored espresso, then top it with homemade cold foam straight out of my $100 magic foam maker! THIS will give me serotonin, surely? Right?
