Done. Got up. Reset kitchen, got some yoghurt doing its thing in the instant pot, even managed to wipe down the bathroom surfaces while it boiled. Now bed for reals. Night all
Keep forgetting how very, very little kitchen space there is and I can't make several things at once. I ended up doing teriyaki salmon (delicious but way too fussy needing the flouring first), blanched amaranth with Japanese sesame sauce (goma-ae), and a quick pickle of shittily julienned carrot and daikon radish. With gluggy rice because I stupidly followed the packet instructions instead of my own experience that jasmine rice needs 1:1 in this rice cooker 🙄
Took like 3 hours in the end... Not exactly worth it but well at least I tried. Rest of this week is gonna be far simpler! Fuck I hate this kitchen.
too lazy to plate dinner properly
Now for all the washing up 😮💨 edit because I forgot I'd already posted before. I oughta sleep early tonight
That’s a pretty good plate!
Bleugh. I napped today too, and didn’t get everything done due to anxiety paralysis. Why is being alive so hard
if this f'ing laptop goes to sleep on more time I'm installing Mint and you can hold me to that. Only thing I can see in is maybe a "hibernate after 180 minutes" cause its sure as shit not set to sleep otherwise.
Hell, 11 has been installing an update for the past 20 minutes and its only at 4%. I may just install linux anyway.
I just saw a Reddit thread about why people don't drink alcohol. I don't drink super often but
reasons why I should be sober indefinitely
I'm going to download one of those sober apps, and use it as a conversation starter with new people, where drinking is involved. I think having a sense of achievement is one way to feel fulfilled in life, and this can be a little win.
End rant.
Sky pretty
Apparently my phone came off the charger again last night :/
I think I'm moving it in my sleep
E: 1 minute after I hopped in the shower, I had a delivery which needed a signature. I didn't even hear them knock (but they did according to my camera). And the drawstring on my shorts got tangled in the washing machine, so one of them is now stuck inside while the other one has knotted itself
I reckon today's a write off, and would love to just get back into bed and try again tomorrow. But unfortunately commitments demand that I do not do such things. Gonna have a tough time trying to muster up the will to go about life today though
Watched Wicked last night and it was every bit as pretty as I knew it would be. The music made me grin so much.
spoilery thoughts about the movie
Boq’s line of “I’ll do anything for you” to Galinda made me laugh out loud and snap “including leave your wife and kid!” But I actually liked both Ethan Slater and I may not be an Ariana Grande fan, but she was really good in the role – her voice was great!
The cameo in the Emerald City had me shouting in delight – I had no idea it was coming and just adored it.
I felt like something was missing or just not quite right with the flow, but I can’t put my finger on it. Like the flow from “we’re friends!” to “the Wizard wants to see you!” felt a bit funny, but maybe it’s cause I was drinking wine. Also some of the music felt kind of disjointed, I can’t remember if I thought that when I saw the stage show or not.
I did say to my boyfriend that just once in my life I want to be part of a choreographed troupe, dancing around a burning effigy.
Id love to see it tbh, but Ariana creeps me out 😂 and so does SpongeBoq.
Maybe I'll watch it once part 2 comes out lol - I think in too invested in the arianagrandessnark subreddit presently 😂
