Jerusalem posted:One of the other vampires in an episode just randomly being Batista because he happened to be in town that day and thought it would be fun was the best. I can't eat spaghetti anymore without calling it pasketti. I should really re-watch the show because it was super quotable but my memory sucks.

SatansOnion posted:maybe it’s just my depression having snuck in through a mental backdoor of mine, but there’s just not a lot of media in general that really hooks me in of late, except for professional wrestling Yeah, New Japan, new music releases, and an occasional video game are all the media I really get excited for anymore. My wife and I went to see Endgame mostly out of obligation and we both just wanted it to end so we could go for Indian food. I don't know if it's ageing, depression, or being so busy that I don't have time to care, but it's a notable change from when I was younger.

Anyone else doing much cooking for the holidays? I'm hosting this year instead of my parents so I'm excited to prepare food with flavours other than salt and pepper. So far I've prepared eggnog ice cream, vinarterta, and roasted carrot dip, today I'm putting together a yule log, some potato buns, and cheddar crackers, and preparing a veggie loaf, and tomorrow I'll finish everything up and add some harissa gruyere potatoes gratin. My sister in law is doing meats and a few sides. Flavours! Oh yeah and I'll probably make some meringues to use up the egg whites left from the ice cream.

Im realazing im outta harissa and now will have to adjust my carrots. Roasted veg best veg. Unfortunately shortly after I discovered how great roasted brussels sprouts can be I discovered how much havoc they play on my innards. Never again, little gas bombs. Speaking of errors in planning I apparently need a Swiss roll pan for my yule log and I'm sure as hell not going some to the store today so I need to make some adjustments as well.

I...don't think I liked the first episode of Picard. Just did a re-watch of TNG of perhaps the tonal whiplash was too much. Hopefully I enjoy the rest of the series more. Good dog, though! (Even though he should be fixed). In poli-talk my client yesterday was wearing an Infowars shirt and drinking from an Infowars bottle but no one in the clinic except me knew what that was. On one hand I guess it's good that Alex Jones had been de-platformed, but it seemed weird that none of the ten or so people I asked were familiar with his schtick.

We're scheduled to leave on Sunday and it will probably be fine, but that's what we said about the trip to begin with and it hasn't exactly worked out as planned so far.

Welp, I managed to get a super early flight on Wednesday which takes me from England to Frankfurt to a Canadian city three hours from mine to my city, with two four hour layovers. I chose the Frankfurt connection over a US one due to the US screening protocols, but now I'm worried Germany will close their borders to the UK. Then again, I'm not sure that applies to passers-through. And we're having a big family gathering tomorrow which seems like a very bad idea. On the plus side I saw a fox while walking my in-laws' dog so that was something.

coconono posted:I was a hardcore NIN fan growing up. One of the few times I successfully shoplifted was one of those sweet "poo poo spattered all over it" Downward Spiral shirts from a Karma Records. I stopped following after the The Fragile tours(saw them like 3 times) and the follow up albums With Teeth and Year Zero just felt...tired. Plus, at the time, I couldn't wrap my head around a rich dude that old having so many relationship problems. I've reconsidered that stance. Likewise, aside from the shoplifting stuff. I was in a bad place when I was a big fan and listening to it now just feels like self harm.

It was my first time with the latter and although they're a bit ugly they taste great!
