Saw A Simple Favor without knowing much about it (and only just discovered it was a Feig joint before I went). It was to the psychological thriller roughly what Spy was to spy films, if that sounds up your alley.

Someone who is not english speaking asked what a mortar and pestle is called (they just saw one on tv). I said 'mortar and pestle' which I guess is not what is expected. So I described it as mortar = bowl and pestle=hard dildo. So bowl and hard dildo.

is that like some kind of geological thirst trap

xp to map.

Yerac: I have to finalize my thesis proposal. it's not much, I just really hate revision.

I started a new D&D campaign today with a new character, an elf rogue assassin who is very cheerful and constantly spouts motivational workplace sayings like "the only difference between try and triumph is just a little umph."

He has a magic icepick and his name is Frank the Shank.

I’m volunteering at a Hokkaido potato and pumpkin farm and gloriously out of touch with everything. I’m starting to think that the pumpkin farming lifestyle may be what I need, maybe Sake brewing in the off season.

you have to get to the roots and squash them. cant let it ferment.

if you brewed some you could call it ff sake

I'm listening to this on repeat this morning

What is home without Plumtree’s Potted Meat?

i am cooking long slow meals all week because off work and because weather's turning

The Chinese food place closest to my house is inexplicably closed on Tuesdays, so I had to order lunch from a different place that frequently forgets part of my order. They sent everything correctly today, though.

oh frabjuous day

not sure what thread to bump so why not this one. I just learned that "Noteboom" is a real last name:

Noteboom, Notenboom and Nooteboom are Dutch surnames originally meaning "nut tree".

Author Cees Nooteboom is named every year in the lower tiers of possible Lit Noble Prize winners - due mostly to wishful thinking on behalf of the Dutch tbf. A win would cement the surname around the world tho.
