    Why didn’t I buy mac and cheese this morning? At least one of the shitty side pasta pack things? Got a craving, but also the lazies.

      If you have dry pasta and cheese this is very quick. https://whiteonricecouple.com/stove-top-one-pot-macaroni-cheese-recipe/

        This looks good, quicker than the baked one I usually make. Would be good if short on time.

      I did not get that experience.

      Instead I got rained on halfway through my morning dog walk. Mr Woof got a touch soggy, and when we got home he had to wear his bathrobe while he dried off. He was not happy about it, tried to remove it himself and got his leg stuck and unded up with a short trial run of being a tripod dog. All is well now, but it was a drama filled start to the day.

          Once he was freed from his tangle he had breakfast, so I think he’s all good now. And the cool weather means he will be getting evening walkies too (after missing out on second walk quite a few times recently due to excessive heat) so that will definitely help him heal from the trauma.

            I don’t know how these things work, but it might be that whatever fixes were applied propagate more slowly through the apps that access the instance a bit differently. Maybe. Idk

        100% PB Smooth from Aldi. I will sometimes sprinkle actual peanuts on a sanga as well for crunchy. But I mostly use it for sauces and shakes which crunchy isn’t great for.

    First time at a nightclub someone trying to sell me a pen and ket at the same time. Kids are different these days.

          I never understood ket as a party drug. It’s like the complete opposite.

          Beer is good, not for $16 a pop, but still.

            Half a tab of acid, a bump of ket every two hours, enough booze to stay tipsy, a day of sunshine and 2000-2010 bush doof trance was peak drug use for me.

            A little bit of ket is a wonderful thing.

    Blomkamp is doing Starship Troopers. Now, I imagine, for the sci fi heads, this movie is sacred ground and shouldn’t be messed with rightly so. It’s a classic.

    However, I’m hyped at the prospect of seeing Blomkamp’s interpretation of the book.

    Would you like to know more?

        satire doesn’t seem to do well lately

        it’s the internet , the tone is set by people who would cancel culture, who say there is only one way to discuss an issue, by humorless people who don’t like joking around and will crush humour when they see it

    I was going to have adventures today, but I’m honestly okay with staying in and reading a nice book

      I had an accidental Sunday session at a VERY local joint with fam. Now flopped watching grand prix. Very rainy. Very lazy. Very needed.
