Fuck you internet dating!

I look upon my internet dating year with fond nostalgia now. Most of me knows this is absolute bullshit though and it was a soul draining hell.

I do miss discord stories of your internet dating shenanigans

You're the only one that does :^)

family lurgy chaos but still managed to make a turnip, parsnip & cauli soup (caramelised blizted onions, lemon juice, bay leaves, s&p, butter) that, and i have to say this in an affected first world food-critic tone of voice, was an exquisite & compelling dish to behold

I bought a fucking annex.

I'm gonna put it in my garden and turn it into my studio.

Learned a cool life hack today where you just work from home and drink beer all day.

Made it my new years resolution to get healthier this year, with a big part of that being consciously eating better and significantly cutting out soda... Boo's been doing the meal planning with me and I've had soda only twice since the New Year. I've lost 11 pounds so far. 

^ Nice man, congrats. I'm on the healthy train as well. Soda not a problem for me (whisky on the other hand...). But eating healthier and barely drinking on weekdays, down a solid 5lbs and 1% body fat already. Seem to be losing 0.4% per week on average. 

Good luck with everything!

Kind of in the same boat here. I've been putting in 45 min of cardio @ the gym before work 5 days in a row this past week. Also trying to get back into a veggie diet and haven't touched a drop of alcohol yet this year. It's been over a month since I stepped on the scale, but I'm definitely seeing results.

I've been doing this gym routine since last April tho. But I had a month-long hiatus in December because the gym was closed due to earthquake damage & subsequent maintenance.

best kind of snow day today: just enough on the ground to freak out the noob drivers and close schools and workplaces, not enough to be miserable. the joys of being a midwesterner in the PNW.

I dug up a big tree today, chopped its roots with a fucking axe, and pushed that son of a bitch over, and I've never felt more manly! My whole body is now aching and I can feel muscles that I've never felt before.

^^^ ha!  had similar experience getting rid of a huge amount of English Ivy from the backyard several years ago. it took me a week and my back was destroyed for the next week but it felt great to be rid of that stuff. i have some yard things to do this year that i've procrastinated on because of body being in recovery from one thing or another so i'll have to be careful and prepare or else risk reminder of being old and broken. 

it is strange to suddnly have muscle aches and realize "oh there's a muscle there?"  first time i went snowboarding  my legs were sore in places i didn't know i could be sore. 

today's victory:  i just eq'd a thing to my satisfaction and i feel like a magician. 

No, I totally know what you're talking about. After 4 hours of digging the backside of my thigh started feeling so weird. Weird in ways I've never tried before. Must have been all the stomping I did on the spade.

Man, it felt great! Let me know if anyone else needs a tree removed.

I made some Thai yellow curry that turned out decent. I didn't have a food processor tho, so for the curry "paste" I ended up using a blender, so it ended up being more of a powder or dry rub. But it doesn't seem to have affected the flavor in any adverse way.

went to the dentist for the first time in... maybe 10 years, and I'm fine, zero cavities

I went to the dentist for the first time in 6 years and had to have 2 root canals and 4 fillings. I asked for 3 times the normal amount of novacaine and lysocaine though. I also took 5mg diazepam. Still a pretty grim 2 hours.

root canal is the tits

I have a huge layer of calculus on the backside of my teeth. I should probably go to the dentist.

∫ plaque(teeth) d teeth

f(plaque) = f(lim) h-->0 (f(x+h)g(x-teeth))/f(gingivitis)

Went through a pile of random CDrs looking for some of my old tracks and found an Acid Mothers Temple side project CDr. ltd to 100 copies according to the back. Most probably belonged to an ex who was mad into them and had lots of ltd bits and pieces like that.

Looked it up on discogs and the last copy sold for just under forty quid, no other copies for sale. Chucked it up for £50 and it sold within 24hrs.

my tree feels vulnerable

got home from work to find that there's a new episode of Survivor recorded on my PVR.

SCORE!

Bravo! A similar thing happened to me with a hand-made CDr that I very nearly forgot about buying, a split between Mogwai & Fuck Buttons.

At the time I put it on Discogs it had never been sold there. I set the precedent at $45 USD and it sold within 24 hours!
