~~~SANDBOX 77~~~

pricey? I'm getting my arm twisted majorly at the moment

just booking the outbound flight, 80 quid pp no bother

Lol wait we're flying to leipzig

Sure it's only down the road. There's all sorts of harebrained schemes involving complex combinations of flying and driving being presented to me.

campervan ftw, or tent/interrail

Every other option seems to be too dependent on scarce/dear accommodation

how did the pooping on happen

1. kindergarten
2. sitting really close to the kid next to me, like legs touching, for some reason
3. diarrhea explosion
4. squirted up the back and side of his jeans
5. "plop"
6. *staaank*

7.
8. profit

9. someone did end up taking me to the bathroom, where i splashed water on the poop stain on my right leg
10. she asked if i would like to call my mom to bring a change of pants, but i was afraid of making my mom mad (???) and so i said no.
11. spent the rest of the day in class with a poopstain on me.

see, an abbbottt-esque figure to help me was totally absent, i would have really appreciated it

plop

This seems like a setlist at an industry showcase

diarrhea explosion brought the house down

2 is a medley obv

2 is actually kinda a beautiful poem fro the ny school, just w/o linebreaks

I was Pooped On: the Z S Story

*staaank* breeze

Certain band being awesome today, making me feel all hopeful and like I have a heart again. Damn them.

- havent eaten a real meal since monday. currently polishing off a basket of fancy cheeses and crackers and antipasto that my aunt sent us for no reason

- havent gotten dressed, havent showered

- spent most of the morning playing skyrim and the afternoon playing records and interneting

- terrible waste of a midweek day off, so many boring chores to do

- thinking abt spending the change i scraped together for laundry on pizza instead

hi-5 @ all of this

apparently I have an interview with a Big Boss for a possible Major Promotion tomorrow at High Noon

also, trayce has a bf now??

Gah, sorry for confuse, its still veganboy, I was just using shorthand really, its too confusing otherwise. ALtho appartently it still was, haw.

Anyhoo:
- went to doc about worrying skin cancer potentiality
- relieved to find out is just "age spots", ha (tho I do have some other spots I need to watch)
- while at doc, mentioned my psoriasis and itchy ear and strange deafness
- ... apparently I have a fucking perforated eardru, and now I think about it, probably have done for a long time
- no wonder I cant hear :(

ah, i see!
xp
! well, i'm glad you do not have cancer and that you at least have a diagnosis re: eardrum

i am in NYC and today went to the russian turkish baths (during women's-only hours) and it was awesome - so relaxing, so exfoliating
drinks/"fap" at Mona's tomorrow after work! :)

luck q

ahhh i went to that place once, i was thinking of it earlier, i remember coming out & feeling this weird absence of specific memories relating to the previous three hours of my life because it had been so totally like ... physical, w/no cerebral input whatsoever, it was me just being like JJUHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRrrrrr for a few hours in various hot rooms. there was a cavernous one in which a woman was being beaten w/plant leaves that still occasionally freaks me out when i remember it
xp

i was not beaten with plant leaves nor did i see any plant leaves beatings but i did see the sticks with leaves on them.
there is also a big sauna room (there are 5 rooms + a v cold pool) that is so hot i sat in it for 1.5 minutes before it felt like my skin was on fire. you are supposed to dump buckets of water over yourself in there.

yeah, that sounds kinda familiar, again my brain was not really making memories through the hours i was there, it is just a hazy memory of being in various states of supreme bodily shutdown

it was def good tho & would go again. i got into a weird grudging haggling thing over membership w/the guy who ran it, who i also later heard crazy stories about

Also just read upthread and bit puzzled at anyone reacting with massive freaking out over a bit of wee, ffs. Lots of people have kids? And little kids like, you know, wee everywhere and it gets on you all the time?

Also, cats? (the amount of cat poo and urine Ive had to handle in my life... ugh)

yeah, it's especially weird to hear from somebody in a school setting. kids are nasty, and I would imagine anybody who's around them would be accustomed to a lot worse than a pee-soaked notebook. but i can also imagine an administrator making "a thing" on some weird grounds of decency or whatnot.

-ran out of garlic
-nooooooooo

- my US residency status seems to be in jeopardy right now
- probably in reality it isn't, but on paper it is
- rational, objective brain knows that we will get through this
- other part of brain is in constant state of low level anxiety

My fate lies in the hands of someone not dissimilar to that paypal agent who tried to fuck over regretsy, except I don't have a legion of fans to stir shit up for me

remy: yeah exactly, what a stupid reaction from the VP. Theyre kids! Wee and vomit just happens, yo.

gah that is such a stressful situation! i hope it gets sorted out in your favour asap
xp

ruby i think you DO have a legion of fans to stir shit up for you. i've got my stir-stick ready, just point me to the pot.

and if you and ytth need to go on the lam, you know where i live. <3

<3 !

It will be ok, it's just scary bc our whole lives are here now, and we're happy, and it would more immigration stress getting ytth into nz

holyshit guys the vampires got dayo i xan't believe how calm y'all are

lxy otm and hope you sort this out soon J! Preferably not by having to deal with a Murray at the embassy haha xx

-ran out of garlic
-nooooooooo

I FEEL YOU BRUV

I was like, how the fuck did THIS happen, didn't have so many unused cloves that I was afraid they'd all go bad?!? And the answer was: Yes, but then Thanksgiving happened.

this is why i buy bags of peeled cloves and keep them in the freezer

I never thought to prepeel and freeze garlic. Thats genius. Can ytou just cut/cook it from frozen?

i buy bags that are pre-peeled bc i am lazy! i keep it in an airtight container in the freezer, zap a few cloves in the microwave for 15 secs to defrost (or just take them out of the freezer a couple hours before cooking), then i'm good to go.

i'm sure it probably loses some potency, but it's working for me

this is why i buy bags of peeled cloves and keep them in the freezer

OTM.

The Asian supermarket sells 1lb. tubs of peeled garlic for ~$2.50.

BTW, TJ's smushed up jars of garlic paste are TERRIBLE. Why can't they just have normal minced garlic? I bought that paste when I still had a sense of smell and it smelled like methane.

xp- it thaws very quickly, so I never bother to thaw it at all.

It might not be good where raw garlic is called for, but cooked, it's A-okay.

many xposts - Q, good luck! Do you want the Major Promotion or are you Ambivalent?

Minced garlic inna jar is blechhh cos it has to be preserved with like vinegar or citric acid to stop spoilage and that gives it a taste :(

(dried granulated garlic isnt too bad for emergencies tho)

(oops this isnt the cooking thread is it hahaha)
