It’s not a food but I seem to be addicted to drizzling sesame oil on almost everything: eggs, Raman, rice, chicken, veggies, pizza, etc.

I worked on the “slime line,” gutting fish in Seldovia Alaska when I was young. One long summer was more than enough for me. Also spent time while i was there “de-byssing” mussels on a raft with my buddies for some side cash. Same as debearding, but the guy called it “de-byssing.”

Between the Bars by Elliott Smith is a beautiful but sad song about alcohol addiction. These lyrics about how it robs you of potential while at the same time making you feel like anything is possible really hit home for me.

Drink up baby, stay up all night

With the things you could do

You won’t but you might

The potential you’ll be

That you’ll never see

The promises you’ll only make

The House on the Rock in Wisconsin was a lot funner than I thought it would be. I happened to visit when there was hardly anyone there, so that helped greatly. There’s a huge room with a full size whale statue in the middle. And a suspended triangular room with a window on the floor overlooking treetops. Plus all sorts of other random stuff.

See if you can figure out which is which

PRINCE - GETT OFF:

“I clocked the jizz from a friend Of yours named Vanessa Bet (Bet) She said you told her a fantasy  That got her all wet (Wet) Something about a little box with a  Mirror and a tongue inside What she told me then got me so hot I knew that we could slide”

JEFF BUCKLEY - LOVER YOU SHOULD’VE COME OVER:

“Looking out the door I see the rain Fall upon the funeral mourners Parading in a wake of sad relations As their shoes fill up with water”

rats can’t vomit

flamingos are pink due to diet. otherwise they’d be grey

it does feel brutal, but it also feels cathartic. when it’s spazzing out and just ignoring everything for 5 seconds…30 seconds…1 minute…2 minutes i start feeling like some angry king :“I WILL NOT BE IGNORED BY THE LIKES IF YOU, MACHINE” and i admit i get some vindictive satisfaction from just murdering it then and there.

i loved terraria too. especially the base building part of it. you could get super creative with your bases if you wanted. i had a beach base with a lighthouse, ferris wheel & submarine. a jungle base on stilts. a cemetery base with a big skull, a cozy Christmas snow castle base, a cave base with glowing orbs, lava, and a robot, etc

satisfactory took all that to 11 for me. instead of bases it’s factories and it’s a beautiful hand-crafted 3d world, instead if 2d pixel graphics. i had a lot of fun building so many cool things there. my last play through was 840 hours which seems insane to me.

In French class i chose “Guy” from the list because I thought it sounded cool, but then found out they pronounce it like “ghee” which didn’t sound as cool. Malheureusement.
