I know one or two of you like spooky season, and I wish to share pertinent materials. Very best of all, the music in this loops perfectly.

So this looks super-interesting. I have been nibbling around the edges of returning to blogging for a while now, and maybe this'll do it.

I love that this game is getting a lovingly burnished release like this. I already have it on Switch, tho! I can't play both at once, I don't have an extra arms slot!

Approximately 200 cases of spontaneous human combustion have occurred worldwide and frankly, that’s nowhere near enough.

We went to Izakaya Shingen tonight. We had grilled skewers of chicken hearts and oyster mushrooms in a spicy sauce and eel and chicken katsudon and seared mackerel and- Gosh, it was nice. I will be daydreaming about those grilled oyster mushrooms for weeks.

Does my Speak-n-Spell feel pain when I type O-U-C-H? The jury is out. Philosophers and neuroscientists say that's fucking stupid, but I called a guy from the Center for Pretending that Household Electronics Are Sentient and he said there's no way to know for sure.

Dwarf Fortress co-creator Tarn Adams says he has no need for GenAI, because his artists are bursting with cool, weird ideas like meat biomes and sphincter doors. "[Tolkien] didn’t have a sphincter door. I mean, I don’t think he did… Who knows what’s going on in, like, Minas Morgul though."

Bi Visibility Day reminder that biphobia is toxic and boring. If someone asks you to pick a side, pick up your keys and leave. If someone says you're greedy, steal their car. If someone says it's just a stop on the way to being gay, steal all their pets and give them better lives.

You got this, you're just fermenting diva.

I wonder, if I learn to make custard buns, if I would ever actually make them, or just eat the filling by the scoop.

Brown sugar pearls in roasted milk tea, half sweet, only a little ice. It's so good. (It's the bubble tea I wanted to get during the night market, but the shop was (understandably) lined up around the block.)

Since a second supermarket opened in our neighbourhood and immediately stole the show by having the gall to cater to the locals(*) we've had so many delicious things to sample. One of them is an alphonso mango 'Indian-style' ice cream that is the most delicious thing I have ever put in my mouth. +

Tabouli turned out great. I know I practically hissed at D. when he suggested cucumbers would work in it as if it was a crime against the entire Mediterranean region, but in retrospect I think he's right. Might just wanna swing all the way to fattoush at that point, tho. either way, nomf.

Making tabouli for tomorrow. D. suggested using barley instead of bulgar, which I think would actually be amazing, but would take a longer lead-in for preparing it. Dear me, remember this for next time, love me.

In the middle of extra-feral braingremlins, I realized I could do a runaround of 'there's nothing I wanna eat' with one of those meal drinks/powders, because I have yet to meet a braingremlin that doesn't change its tune to chocolate milk. Today I realized if I add ice it's a MILKSHAKE MEAL OMG-

In my French lesson today, I learned that the eurofranch word for peanut is 'cacahuète', not 'arachide' as it is here. there's probably some super awesome etymology going on there, too. the Acadians surely weren't up here before France got involved in Latin America, right? I wonder what's up.
