I tend to get along with everybody I work with but I think that's rare

I've seen a lot of this phenomenon of... someone gets mad at a co-worker (over things that, I don't understand why you would be that upset about) and then instead of talking it out like adults they just kind of passive-aggressively treat that person worse, and each decides the other is an asshole and make each other's lives harder. and they'll just live their lives like that for years :confused:

there was one dude who I think didn't like me at first, when I worked at safeway. just bad chemistry, y'know, it happens. but I just didn't make anything out of it, and he didn't make anything out of it, and one day he saw me buying loose bananas and he was like "holy shit, I've never seen somebody buy the loose bananas before" and I laughed and was like "I mean, they're the same. they're just not in a bunch" and he was like "EXACTLY. we throw out like 2 dozen loose bananas a week because people just assume there's something wrong with them" and we were friendly after that lol

I would have been slightly more reverent if I knew someone here knew the creator! I thought it was just some very nerdy thing I was rambling about and didn't want to gush too much about how cool of an idea that is haha

but also, the garbanzo beans are part of why it took so long because this was a spontaneous decision so I had to go buy them and they take like 2 hours minimum to cook, and also I didn't read the recipe properly so I didn't know I wasn't gonna need them beans until like the very end of cooking the rest of the shit anyway. so I guess actually now that I know that that would shave about an hour off. I also was really worried about fucking it up once I saw you're supposed to set the brandy on fire o_O so I like really carefully prepared all the ingredients I'd need ahead of time, like minced garlic, I minced that shit up, and I put them all aside in little dishes like they do on cooking shows so I could just toss them in when the recipe called for them, no surprises. prep time. batman. if I were to cook this several more times I'd probably develop a rhythm to do everything much more efficiently but see? SEE!? my brain is already devoting time and energy to getting better at cooking. it's a trap! food tricks you into becoming a food person

also, like, what can I do with this leftover half a bag of garbanzo beans, half an 8 oz can of tomato paste, half a bottle of cheap pinot, an almost full bottle of cheap brandy, an almost full box of beef stock cubes, half a bag of pearl onions, and half a medium yellow onion?

there's pretty much exactly one thing, and that's buy some more chicken and make coq au vin again


I substituted garbanzo beans for the white mushrooms because I hate mushrooms but I knew they were in there to add some umami so I was google mushroom substitutes and google sucks at a lot of things now but they but they nailed this one, I saw garbanzo beans and I was like ooh ima try that, great decision, very full flavor, thank you, garbanzo beans

I made coq au vin and it was delicious and now I'm mad because it was a lot of work and if I want to make it again later it's going to be a lot of work again but I'm probably going to want to because it's delicious. never trying a new recipe again. if my palate keeps expanding I'm going to be trapped in a brighter and more vibrant world

Quote from: RobClock on March 08, 2024, 03:43:53 PMHave never been a huge fan of Dragonball but his impact is undeniably legendary and worthy of the reverence he has been awarded. RIP Toriyama
right yeah

"elemental" might be the word? somebody said something like "it never even occurred to me that he could die" and I think that's close to what I was feeling
he didn't command reverence from me like Satoshi Kon did and Hayao Miyazaki and Junji Ito do, but I just sort of took him as granted. like of course DBZ was extremely influential and crossed cultural boundaries. and he was just going to be around doodling monsters for shit like Dragon Quest and Blue Drago... huh. dude really liked dragons. and Dragon Ball Super was still going, and there's a Sand Land anime and game coming up. felt like he wasn't anywhere near done and was just hitting another stride

almost heaven, west virginia,
blue ridge mountains, shenandoah river
life is old there,
older than the trees,
younger than the mountains,
strangling the breeze,
dead I am the sky,
watching angels cry,
while they slowly turn,
conquering the worrrrrrrrrm

always have these cabeça grande plans for setting up a special evening of game for my friends that I never end up actually carrying out

there's a ttrpg that uses a jenga set instead of dice, like, every time you take an action that involves any kind of risk, you have to take a jenga block out and put it on top, and if the tower falls you fail and probably die or something I don't remember the specifics
and I was like 30% of the way through setting up this whole ass custom scenario loosely based on Saw 2 (the one where a bunch of strangers wake up in a house with a slow-acting poison gas and they're supposed to go through a bunch of saw traps to find hypodermic needles with the cure)
I had an old tape recorder and a bunch of little mini-cassette tapes I found in the ancient warrens of the local Rite-Aid and I was mapping out this whole like web of character and plot

then I guess I just wandered away to do god knows what else

I want to try to get some of my rl friends together to try Alice is Missing, and I was considering uh


okay, so, Alice is Missing is a tabletop role playing game played silently over text messages. you play as friends of a girl who went missing (a girl named, of course, Stacy) trying to figure out what happened to her, the game takes place in real time, everybody's got secrets and shit, and it's supposed to be really moving and cool
and part of the gimmick is you change all the players' names in your phones before the game starts for the sake of immersion (so it's more like you're actually talking to the characters on your phones).
but I was like... that sounds like kind of a hassle, maybe I could just buy some burners, like, how much could they possibly be? they're for drug dealers to throw out after literally one call. you could probably get a group at a discount. but also maybe it'd be cooler to have like a weird mix of different brands, kinda soft roleplay like it's 2007? :sherlock:

but it turns out they're like $20 at the low end so, no, I'm not gonna do that

argh it'd be really cool though
somebody just, give me infinite money already. for fucks sake.

Quote from: PhantomCatClock on March 03, 2024, 06:21:58 PMi think more movies should end with "hey surprise, the hero who inspired you to get so good at something actually sold his soul to the devil to get so good but you won it back before realizing what, entirely, was going on" because the list is far too small with just Crossroads
the britney spears movie?
