Yikes, rest up dude, I did that last week sliding on black ice, know how that feels!

 

*eats you instead*

 

Damn. I did not think that through.

 

Actually feel productive today, got a little writing done, then got all chores done, its now 13:25 where i am, and I've just plonked my backside down on the sofa with my laptop, guess i'll be doing more rewriting of my first novel. (also - Yousei Teikoku are an awesome band, just saying...)

 

Nope, that was me. @Homer Potvin was holding my trousers though, to keep the cuffs from getting dirty...

 

Oh, I've done this far too many times.

On the one hand, it's a neat exercise; on the other, my friends have intentionally thought of myriads of ways to torture me with impossible inclusions or embarrassing genres.

My best friend gave me a list of humiliating & unrelated pieces of diagolgue that I needed to cohesively incorporate into the story in some way or another.

She really had a field day with it.

I'm starting to be of the mind that I should start buying her things. . .

 

Yeah, letting them get too specific about the criteria leaves you wide open to that sort of abuse. I think this is a one-time thing for me. Next year I'll just throw money at the problem. Maybe in the form of hiring a ghostwriter.

 

You have better been good or the Krampus will collect your naughty ass.

 

Forgive me, but I am going to ramble for a moment.

Went to Wal-mart yesterday after getting my dad a chain for
his chainsaw. Only reason to go to there is for cheap liquor
(because they sell it cheaper than the reg grocery store).
But I saw this woman that had this look of permanent sadness
on her face. Not simply like someone who just has it as an
expression, but like her face was just naturally meant to look
that way. While I have no thoughts towards this person nor
opinion about them (cause I don't know them at all), it was
fascinating to see someone that looked like that. And it makes
me wonder if there are other people out there that seem to have
a permanent expression that seems to be permanently plastered
on their features.

Just felt the need to ramble.

 

I'm sick and I just really want nabeyaki udon.

But of course not a single restaurant, big or small, in the surrounding cities seem to serve it and I'm dying inside.

However, I did find a quaint izakaya that has really good kurobuta. The tsukune was bleh, but the kurobuta was actually spot on.

But I will continue my hunt for a place that makes nabeyaki udon. God forbid I have to buy all the ingredients and start preparing it myself. . .

 

Your post led me to look up 'udon', and I finally know what this place is: https://www.facebook.com/Udon-Sushi-Bakery-114768098567093/timeline/

I do like the decor and the toilets used as, well, stools.

 

There is no greater disappointment than bad tsukune. There's a chain here that sells tare tsukune with a slice of mozzarella melted on top that is sublime though.

 

Right!?

Like this was a yakimono style izakaya, so I was expecting bomb tsukune when I saw it on the menu. I was gravely disappointed.

Particularly for the price—$4 for three tiny balls the size of quarters, more sesame seeds than chicken meat.

It was bottom of the menu, so I'm thinking their main ones are their salted jidori sasami and torikawa and their kurobuta and galbi, which were more prominent on the menu.

I just had a hankering for the tare sauce, but I've sadly learnt my lesson.

Also, I was fooled because walking up to the restaurant there were the wooden plaques on the wall with the menu items and it clearly said つくねチーズ on one, but nowhere was that available on the plastic menu. And now that you mention the mozzarella I am craving it & feel cheated.

 

I asked google how to use a tuning fork.

It returned results for new age sound healing. Next thing you know, google is going to return homeopathic treatment results for people who look up how to cure a cold.

 

Next big horror movie star...

 

Meh, Jamie Lee Curtis did it better.

 

Watching Steins;Gate. Merry Christmas.

 

So I decided to try something different and write my fantasy all in third-person instead of the usual first-person. Result?

700 words. In an hour.

And I’m already ginning up for Chapter 2.

 

Good for you man

First person is still the best person though

 

I like that constant, "Holy crap, I can't believe this wonderful thing is happening to me!" look on Meghan Markle's face.
