On the Fri before NY, I visited the pawn shops in Independence. Since I visited the Raytown Cash America, I saved some time, which will be more important later.
My first stop was Guitar center. i first looked in the used guitar/amp area. There was a Gibson Les Paul. There were also copies/variations from Epiphone, Agile , Mitchell, LTD, Hohner. The Hohner had a bolt-on neck. There was a Floyd Rose guitar. There was a Squier strat with just 1 humbucker. There were 2 Squier teles. There was a G&L tele with 2 P-90 pu. There was a Series 10 guitar that was a copy of a Rickenbacker 325. For amps, There was a Marshall Origin head, and 401 combo. There was a Ashdown combo. There was head and cabinet by a company called Lucid. There was a Mesa Boogie that I notated as "50". It'd prob a combo, but could be a head. This location doesn't have a $$$$ room. I walked past the fx counter, and didn't see anything worth noting. I then went to the kb area. There was a Yamaha S80, and a Roland GAIA.
My next stop was the "hole in the wall" pawn shop. I noted 2 Peavey amps. One was a Bandit 65. The other was a Rage 158 from the Transtube era. For guitars, There was a Rogue strat with an hss pu config. There was an Epiphone sg. There was also some model of First Act guitar. I noted a kb, but didn't list make/model, butI'm thinking it was some no-name Chinese preset turd. There were 2 saxophones, 2 trumpets, and 3 flutes. I also noted cymbals, but don't remember if they are for a drumset, or the handheld pair. There were no interesting guns. There were 3 pairs of nunchuks.
I then went to the nearby Alpha Pawn. There was an LTD Explorer. There was PRS SE Custom with a hh pu config, 22frets, and a whammy bar. There was an Ibanez K-7 7-string guitar. I think it was a signature model from one or both of the guitarists from Korn. For guns, there were 2 Thompson "Tommy" guns.
I then went to the Noland Rd Cash America. There was an Alesis SR-16 drum machine. There was a Xenyx mixer. For guitars, there was an LTD superstrat with a hh pu config, 24 frets, and a whammy bar. There was a Mitchell with a hs pu config, 24 frets, and a fixed bridge. There was a lefty Squier strat. There was a lefty Hagstrom es-335-like guitar. For amps, I noted a Bugera head. I also noted a cabinet. I dodn't know if the beand was Hughes or Hughes & Kettner. For guns, I noted one that reminded me on an MP5.
The next stop was the one on 23rd St. There were a Squier strat and mustang. There was a harmony strat. There was a Fender Telecaster. I don't recall where it was made. The Southern Belle tele was still there. There were 2 Epiphone 335s. There were 2 Schecters with a hh pu config and 24f. One had a whammy bar, and the other a fixed bridge. There was a D'Agelico guitar with a hss pu config. I'm thinking it was from the Bedford series. There weren't any amps worth noting. The shitty Hammond organ was still there.
I then went to the music store on the Independence square. It was a pain finding a parking spot because all the idiots insisting on paying their property tax at the last min. The sitar was still there, as was the organ. There was also a Casio kb. There were fx pedals, but i didn't notate any. For guitars, there was a Fender Stratocaster and Telecaster. There was a Squier tele. There was a Fernandes strat. There was a Gibson ES-335. There was a Rickenbacker, which I think was a 325. For amps, there was a Fender 4x10 tweed combo. There was a Fender Showman head. There was a Sound head and cabinet. There was a MusicMan head.
I then went over to the nearby "crazy" pawn shop. The autographed guitar was still there. There was a Michael Kelly lp. There was an Ibanez lp with 3 knobs. There was a Peavey guitar with a hh pu config, 22f, and a whammy bar.
Next I went to the Cash America on the same road as the "edge of the hood" one. the only amp I noted was a Krank head with 2 1x12 cabinets. For basses, there was a Danelectro Longhorn. For guitars, there was an Epiphone lp special, and another with a natural finish with wine red wood stain. There was an Epoch lp special. There was an LTD H-50. There was a Squier strat. There were 2 Ibanez GiO guitars. One was a double cut, and the other a 7-string. There was a UV Vodka guitar that had only 1 humbucker. There was a Washburn guitar I thought was a Nuno Bettencourt signature model because it had a natural finish. I looked on Google, and it wasn't.
Usually, that would be my last stop. Afterwards, I stopped at Save A Lot, then went home. Since it wasn't too late, I decided to visit the guitar shop in Parkville. Like I said before, they have gone to selling more new stuff, but still have some old. There was a Dean MD24, which I guess is a new guitar. There was a Silvertone 1423 Jupiter. I don't know if it was an original or reissue. There was a Gibson Grabber G-3 bass. In the acoustic guitar room, there was this huge odd-looking instrument. I was told it was a Gibson Style J mandobass. For amps, it looks like my notes say Morgan, Vox, and Fender, but it looks like I didn't know and/or recall the models.

Hello, it is 1251am as I start this. This was a shitty week. On Tue, I wanted to get some brown mushrooms from ALDI, which were on sale. I went to the one at the edge of the hood. They didn't have any. I then went to the one kind of near my route home. None there either. I then went all the way up to the one I go to almost every Mon. They were also out. I was also looking for their 1lb bags of peperoni, but they were all out. On my way to the last place, I went to make a turn. I was going a bit fast, so I hit the brakes. I heard a clunk sound. Now, when I drive, I hear some kind of sound quite a bit. I hope I can hold off bringing it in until my usual time in Aug. On Thu, I did my 6 mo dr appt. I had a new dr. The last time I went, that was a new dr, but he left. When I got weighed, I was only a few lb less than last time. I thought it would be more. On Fri, I was out (dun dun dun). There was a wreck on the interstate, so it took WAAAAAAAY longer to get to my destination. I was also out grocery shopping, and I forgot to get something. That something will have to wait until next week. Also, I was going to start this much earlier, but I ended up doing other stuff. Also, this week, I went to 3 differnt Dollar Tree locations. They were all out of both kinds of Fieras. There was also a meal-related issue, which I'll mention later.
There was a bit of good news. When I went on my mushroom quest, the first ALDI had Vienna sausagaes again. I didn't feel like getting any. I know I didn't look at the second place. I think I looked at the last one, and they didn't have any. On Thu, I went back to the "Mon" location, and they were in stock again. I bought 8 cans.
I will get to the food now.
Sat: My "meal" was ~half a 15oz bag of store-brand pretzel rings. They were good.
Sun: My meal was something I've had before, but with 2 variations. I had a box of Cheez-It crackers. They were the Buffalo Wing variety. They were good, but not much heat, as compared to the ones I usually have. I had a bag of Flamin' Hot Cheetos. They were good. I had a can of Treet. It was good. I took it out of the fridge. Usually, I have one 8oz block or shredded bag of cheese. This time, I did something different. I did a repeat of part of my 4/9 meal. I had all 3 of the 8oz "half wheels" of Emporium Selection Semi-Soft Cheese. The order I had them in was:
Garden Vegetable With Sweet Basil
Peperoni Marinara
Roasted Garlic With Tomato Basil
They were all good. I don't recall ranking them this time. I took them out of the fridge a few hrs before I ate.
Mon: I didn't have anything.
Tue: I was originally just going to eat a little bit, but then I decided to eat more. Then, due to all the stress of the day, I had even more.
For snacks, I had a bag of Deutsch Kuche Potato Sticks. They were the Hash Brown Style variety. They were good. Later I had a can of store-brand tuna in water. It was good. I took it out of the fridge. I also had a bag of Walmart funyuns. They were good.
For my meal, I got 3 things from a grocery store: 1 from the hot case, 1 from the cold case, and 1 from the seafood counter. I had a small container of chicken and noodles. It looked a bit fried out, so I only got a small container. It was ok. I warmed it up in the microwave before I ate it. I had a small container of tortellini salad. It didn't look as good as the one from the other store, so, again, I got a small container. It was pretty good. I took it out of the fridge. I also had a container of seafood salad. It was good. I also took it out of the fridge. I had a bag of El Sabroso Original Guacachip("Guacamole Flavored Tortilla Chips") from Dollar Tree. They were good. My last item needs its own paragraph.
I also had store-brand cottage cheese. A week or 2 ago, the store was having a 1-day sale on 24oz containers of cc. When I got there, they were out, but there was a sign saying there was a sale on the 12oz containers. I got 2. When I had my meal, I was planning on nhaving only one container. I brought the other one anyway. I ended up eating both. It was good plain and with black pepper. I also put some on a few of the guac chips, which was good. I don't think i used any pepper then.
Wed: My snack was a bag of Turkey Creek pork rinds from ALDI. They were the Dill Pickle variety. They were ok. There was a picle taste, but I recall it being rather salty. The powder left in the bag was extremely salty.
My meal was a frozen Tonucci pizza. It was the Supreme variety. It was good. There is something different about this pizza. The cheese was on top of everything else. This makes me forget about the other toppings, except I do seem to recall seing peperoni underneath.
Thu: This was the day I went to the dr. I ate lightly the dasy before because I was getting blood tests, and so I could eat more stuff.
I got my first food at Wendy's. I had a Maple Bacon Chicken Croissant sandwich. When I opened the wrapper, it smelled like syrup. I just looked on the site, and there is "maple butter" on it. I don't recall what I thought about the sandwich. I think the honey butter used bu Church's would be a better match. I wonder if I could get the sandwich with out the maple butter. I also had a Bacon, Egg, & Cheese Croissant. It was good. I was able to taste both the bacon and eggs. I prob won't get these again because I usually don't get breakfast stuff, and also they were expensive.
Later, I got some stuff in the hot case at a grocery store. I heated the stuff up in the microwave before I ate. I got 2 crab rangoons. They were ok. This chain's cr are nowhere near as good as the cr from the other chain. I had 2 veggie eggrolls. They were good. There was a negative in that after heating them up, they were hot. I also had 10 jalapeno poppers. They were good. I think they were a bit hot from heating.
I then had 1 more round of food at night. I was going to get the Caprese Salami Pesto at Jimmy John's. When I got there, they said they were out of the ingredients. I went to Arby's instead because I brought my coupons. I had 1 Reuben coupon and 2 gyros. The worker said he'd have to make a seperate order for the second gyro. When I did the order for the Reuben and first gyro, I asked if both coupons went through. He said no, and decided to give me the second gyro for free. Later, I looked at the receipt, and the final price was like $11.08. I know KC has a high sales tax, so that looked reasonable. I didn't look at each item. I'll mention something about this a bit later.
I also got 2 things at Walmart. I got 2 flautas, and some mini mozzarella sticks.
I ate at 7pm, during Young Sheldon. The mms were ok. They would be better if I had heated them up. The flautas were good. I wish I had just gotten 2 more instead of the mms. The Rueben was good. The turkey gyro was good. The Greek gyro was good.
I had originally planned to have some homemade popcorn much later, but I was too full still.
I'm back to the Arby's stuff. If I had paid for everything, it would've been $13 before tax. I saw that as a sign that I should pay more for some other food items.
Fri: The main item of my meal was a steak. I bought it around Oct, and had it in the freezer. I took it out of the freezer and put it in the fridge Tue night. On Wed night, I took it out of the fridge. It was still frozen, so I didn't prep it. On Thu, it was ready. It was 2.27lb. I first cut it in half. I took one half, and first put spices(black pepper, red pepper flakes, cumin, turmeric garlic powder, cinnamon) on. I accidentally used too much cinnamon. I then added the condiments(mustard, hot sauce, soy sauce). I mixed the stuff together and rubbed it all over. I then flipped it over and repeated with the spices/condiments. There was a thick piece of fat on one side, so I trued cutting ino it and poking it with the knife. I did the s/c thing with the other half. I then put the halves back in the container, then back in the fridge.
When it was time to cook, I used the cast iron pan. I turned the burner up to 6. I put a bit of water in the pan. I waited for the water to boil off. I then put some canola oil in. I then put in the first steak half. I flipped it every 2 min. This half has the fat line running through it. After some time, the fat line was melting. I cut it, so the half was now 2 pieces. I forget how long I cooked it for. I used Steven Raichlen's method for knowing when the steak was ready. I like mine as rare as possible. I took the half out and put it on my plate. I then covered it with foil. I then cooked the other half the same way as the first, except there was no fat line to cut. When it was done, I put it on the plate, and put the foil back on.
This time, there was just a tiny bit of haze. I don't know if that was because I used the stove hood fan.
I mentioned mushrooms in the first paragraph. I wanted to have them with my steak. At ALDI, the white mushrooms were $0.50 more. Due to the Arby's thing, I decided to pick up a package of the white mushrooms.
I cut up the mushrooms. I ate a few pieces. They were good. After the steak was done, I put the mushrooms in the pan with a bit of canola oil. It just took a min or so to cook the mushrooms. I then put them on the plate and put the foil over it all.
I then cooked a box of rice pilaf from ALDI. Then I cooked a can of Great Value white hominy.
Then I had my meal. The steak was good. It was rare. There were only 2 small pices I couldn't chew up. I didn't taste the s/c, except for a few pieces. I think in those cases, I think it was more cinnamon-y, and prob due to when I added too much. It didn't case a bad taste though. I had a few pieces of mushroom by themselves, which were good. I forget how the steak and mushrooms tasted together. The rice pilaf was good. The hominy was good.
I also had something else. It was a jar of Specially Selected Wild Garlic Cheese Stuffed Peppers. They were ok.
I finished everything except the oil in the pepper jar.
Sat: The main part of my meal was catfish. I used a 2.99lb bag of "nuggets". I think there was a hole in the bag, so I think most of the water inside leaked out onto the drying board where I set it after taking it out of the fridge a few hrs before I started cooking. I'd taken it out of the freezer Fri night. There were 2 pieces that were still a bit frozen. I also took the oil pot out of the fridge when I took the fish out.
When I started cooking, I put the oil pot on the burner, and set it to 2. I cut the fish into smaller pieces. The lid on the pot had gotten a tiny bit warm, so I set the frozen pieces on top. I had also bought a half-pint carton of buttermilk. I put some in my regular pot, and put some fish in. I mixed it so the fish got coated. I took an old microwave entree container and put bread crumbs in it. I used Great Value Italian bread crumbs. I had opened up the can during the MLK holiday weekend. I took the pieces of fish and rolled them around in the crumbs until they were covered. I then set them on my plate. I then turned my attention to the oil pot. I thought it would be warmer. I then turned the burner up to 6. It was not getting warm. I then turned it up to 8. It still was too slow, so I turned it to max. There were a couple of tiny pieces, and some odd things. I put them, uncoated, it the fryer basket, and put in the oil. It took a few min to cook. The odd things didn't taste good. The actual fish pieces were ok. I then put the breaded pieces in the basket, and put that in the oil. While those were cooking, I breaded more pieces. When the fish in the oil was brown, I took it out and put in my pan. I put more fish in the basket, and so on. I did run out of bread crumbs. I then put flour and some cornstarch in the entree container, and mixed it together. I then put the fish in that. When all the fish was coated, there was still buttermilk(which I added more of when needed) in the pot. I put the stuff left in the entree container, and some more flour and s in. I then cut up some onion and put it in, and mixed it with the other stuff. I the put clups of this in the basket with the couple pieces of fish.
When I ate, the onions were ok. They were burnt, because I waited until the fish was done. I should've put the onion in by itself. The fish was good, both with flour/cs and bread crumbs. Catfish has a different taste and texture than different fish, and it's not something I want a lot.
I had to other things for my meal. I had a big(13oz) bag of TGI Onion Rings. They were good. I also had a can of DT black olives. They were good. The liquid was also good.
I finished everything. I did feel stuffed after.
That's it for the food. I will be making my last special meal soon. It is an experiment.
It is 138am Mon as I post this. Usually I go into what I did from SNL until posting. Because I got a case of the burps, I was stuck in the bathroom for a long time tonight. It feels like I need to go again. Because of that, I am running very late, and don't have time to do that. Also, I was in the middle of shaving with the real razor when I had to go. I also won't be finishing that. The good thing is I only had my underwear area left to shave.
Here is where I talk about stuff. Like I mentioned above, I don't have time to do that. I will leavew those items for next week.
I will be back next week.

Hello there. It is 1210am as I start this. It has been another shitty week. I forget if I had the burps besides when I mentioned them on Sun last time. I really need to make notes of the various things that happened. On Fri, I had to wash caps of 2 different bottles because they went where they got dirty. The NCIS repeat that was on CBS tonight was one I needed to re-watch due to glitching. I didn't look that up until after. Anyway, I was busy, and wouldn't've been able to devote all my attention to it. It is also windy, so there might have been glitching again. This week was the series finale of The Goldbers, and apparently also Call Me Kat. The writer's strike meant there was no new episode of SNL tonight. Pete Davidson was supposed to host, and Lil Uzi Vert was supposed to be the musical guest. I would've been all for naught, as there was major glitching. WWE continued the draft, and the tag team of Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn were frafted to RAW. I told you a few weeks ago where I left my discount card at the store, but they found it and had it at the customer service counter. I went over there Thu to get it. For some reason, they didn't haver it. I had 2 different workers look. They gave me a new card. On Fri, I called to activate it, and have the stuff transferred to the new card and deactivate it.
The biggest thing happened on Fri. While I was working, my mom called and said the cat slipped out, hadn't come back in. I called her later, and she said still no. After I did my shopping, I went over there. I walked around the neighborhood looking for the cat and calling her name. I didn't have success. I called my mom at 10pm tonight, and she had an update. Around 7, she went out on the back deck and called for the cat. She came from under the neighbor's deck. My dad went out to go and get ther. Because the ground is uneven, he fell down. My mom then went over there, and she also fell. They are ok. Toadd insult to injury, the cat is being an ass and didn't follow them inside.
I also had a meal/food related thing, which I'll mention later.
I did have some good news regarding food, but that'll wait 'til next week.
Now let me get to the food.
Sun: This was the last of my days off meals. It was an experiment. It was pizza bagels. I used a bag of 6 plain bagels from ALDI. I cut them in half. I put the bottom halves on the cookie sheet. I opened a 3oz bag of store-brand peperoni into 6 portions. There was one slice left over, so I ate it, which was good. For the 2 bagels where the center hole was big, I took one of the slices from theri portion and covered the hole. For sauce, I opened a 15oz can of store-brand pizza sauce. I put some on each bagel. I opened an 8oz bag of store-brand shredded mozzarrella and divided it in half. I used one half for these bagel halves. I don't recall if I used all the half of cheese. I then put on the perponi. I couldn't get it all on. I then put a bit more sauce on top. I then opened an 8oz bag of the stores budget brand shredded imitation mozzarella. I dived it in half, and used one half. I don't think I used the whole half. I then put the rest of the peperoni on. I had set the oven to 400F. It was ready way before I was done. I put the cookie sheet in the oven for 10 min. After that, I took it out. I put the halves in my pan. I then put some of the unused cheese on top of each one. I then repeated the process with the top halves of the bagels, and used another 3oz bag of store peperoni. When they were done, I didn't put any cheese on top. The reason I did that for the first ones was that the second batch was going to sit on top of the first ones, and didn't ant the peperoni from the fitst sticking to the bottom of the second. When I ate, some of that cheese stuck to the bottom of the second batch, but no peperoni. I did use up the whole can of sauce.
As for eating, they were good. The bagels themselves were very soft. They seemed softer than before I cooked them. I thought they would have become crispy. I was not disappointed, and actually felt it made them easier to eat. I also ate the leftover cheese, which was ok.
I was originally going to get 2 more bagels from the bakery area of a grocery store when I was out Fri(dun dun dun). I forgot to. I was pissed at myself. When I was done eating, I was full, so I wasn't po'd over the extra bagels.
Mon: I didn't have anything.
Tue: I had 3 snacks. First was a bag of Tapatio hot fries I got from Dollar Tree. They were good. There was heat. A bit later, I had a Tijuana Mama pickled sausage. It was good. I then had a bag of El Sabroso Original Guacachip("Guacamole Flavored Tortilla Chips") from Dollar Tree. They were good.
My meaL was fried rice and veggies using ~8oz of store-brand California Blend. I cooked it using the healthy method. There were 2 issues. First, the end of the one onion I used was going bad, and got a bit mushy. I did use some of a new onion. The second issue was part of an experiment i wanted to do. After the liquid in the veggie and spices.... mix cooked down, and before I added the rice, I wanted to add some of the coconut cream. I opened the container, and it smelt and tasted bad. Not wanting to waste food, I added all of it, and mixed it in.
As for the meal, I had it plain and with my 3 items. It ddin't taste good plain. It was because of the cc. I ended up using a buch of soy sauce so I could eat all of it.
My meat item was a can of Chicken of the Sea sardines in oil. They were good this time. I took them out of the fridge.
The next morning, before work, I had to take a dump. It came out hot. I think It was because of the hot fries. And that's prob why I had poo pressure. I had pressure during work, but I recall it going away.
I just wanted to go back to the cc for a min. If it hadn't gone bad, I was going to save some and do something with it as an added ingredient to something I tried before.
Wed: I didn't have anything.
Thu: My snack was a bag of Bugles. They were a new variety of Hidden Valley Ranch. They were good. I don'tknow how they compare to the regular ranch flavor.
Now for my meal. Last week, I told you all about how I went to Jimmy John's, and they didn't have the Caprese Salami Pesto. I wanted to go to another JJ, and get that, and 2 more sandwiches, for my meal. I called all the ones south of the river in a reasonable area, and they were all out.
I still didn't want to get Subway because I recently had it, and I didn't have the coupons with me. I still haven't gotten a new set of KF coupons, so that was out. There is a deal at Long John Silver's for a chicken platter, but I didn't feel like getting that. Too bad the one grocery chain wasn't doing the bogo deal on the Chinese meals again.
I decided to go to a grocery store and go to their hot case. There was enough stuff that I was able to get my whole meal there. I heated everything up in the microwave before I ate.
I had a container of Chinese noodles with some veggies. It was good. I had 2 kinds of Chinese chicken. One was Gen Tso's. Well, that's what it sounded like they said. I think they said the other was something like soy(sauce). Both were good. I had 4 burritos(prob actually chimichangas). They were good. I forgot if Itried any bites plain. I used a packet of Sauer's mild taco sauce for each one. I also used some of my hot sauce, but not with the taco sauce. They were good. I also had 6 flautas. They were good.
Fri: My first snack was ~half an 6oz bag of Brim's Movie Theater Butter Popcorn. I used canola oil with it. It was good. I had it at 1237am during the rebroadcast of one station's 10pm news.
My second snack was something new in terms of having a snack. The one grocery chain has stores owned by 3 different groups. One group was having its own sale. One of the sale items was beefsteak tomatoes. I got 2. I cut them into slices. I had a couple slices plain, and had the rest with black pepper. They were good. The only negative was that they weren't as soft and juicy has home grown tomatoes. I had them at 137am during the rebroadcast of one station's 10pm news.
Now for my third snack. Above I talked about calling various JJ locations. I also called the ones north of the river. The location in Smithville still had them. I went there after work. It was in the same location as the store where I got the tomatoes. The sandwich was the Caprese Salami Pesto. I got the 16in version. When I got home, I put it in the fridge. A few hrs before I ate, I took it out. As for the taste, it was good. That being so, I wouldn't get it again. JJ is fucking expensive! I had it at 330am during the rebroadcast of TMZ.
My last snack was a bag of ALDI croutons. They were the Cheese & Garlic variety. They were decent. I had them around 720pm.
Sat: I had my sweet stuff. I started with cereal and pb, both of which were newly opened.
I had 2 of the Sather's Lemon Drops. They were good. I had some of the shredded coconut. It was good. I had a package of LD Nutty Buddy bars(2 in a pkg). they were good. I took them out of the freezer. I had a store-brand yogurt. It was nonfat strawberry. It was good. I thin the difference between the nonfat and regular is that the nf is a bit thinner in consistency. I finished the Double Stuf Oreos. They were good. I took them out of the freezer. I also opened a bag of peanut m&m's. They were good.
That's all for the food. I know what I'm having for my "Sat" "meal" and my Sun one. The Sun one is one I've had a ton of times.
My Tue meal is a make up of a previous meal, and I'm planning on making it an experiment.
It is 529am Sun as I post this. Like I said above, SNL was a repeat(Jenna Ortega/The 1975), so I didn't have to watch it. That was a good thing, because I also said, there was major glitching. While it was on, I was reading Yahoo! News, mostly about the guy dying on the NYC subway. I then got up and got the food ready for later. I then sat down to type. I did so until 2, when I went to take my nap. I got up for 3 for the TMZ weekend edition. I got my food and sat down. I ate and typed. I think I got done eating a bit after 345, then kept typing.
Now is where I talk about shit. First the 2 things from last week. Jerry Springer died at 79. He is most famous for his show. I used to watch it. What was fucking retarded was when a fight started, they would cut to a camera shot of the crowd. I don't give a flying fuck about the audience. One time when I was working out at my former town's community center, I was talking with a woman. For some reason the JS Show came up(maybe it was on). Her daughter and/or the daughter's roommate worked on the JSS. She said some of the guests were really actors. I also wanted to talk about a guy named Vivek Ramaswarmy. He was on Meet The Press. He is running for the Republican presidential candidate. He talks about being anti-w(I don't like the word, so I won't use it). The irony is that part of w is not being racist. VR is Indian. He won't win the nomination, because most of the neanderthals he is trying to suck up to are also anti-w, and won't vote for a brown guy. Same reason Niki Haley won't win. Now for this week. Gordon Lightfoot died at the age of 84. His most famous song is Sundown. He is also known for If You Could Read My Mind, ....Edmund Fitzgerald, Carefree Highway, and Rainy Day People. Also, Tim Bachman died. He was another member of BTO. His brother, drummer Robbie, died a few moths ago. The most famous brother, Randy, is still alive. I guess the last thing I'll talk about is the subway incident I mentioned above. I don't think the Marins should be charged. the dead guy was staring shit. There was no way to know if he was going to get worse and start hurting people. Also, he has a long rap sheet, including attacking a 67 year old woman. He should've been in jail, or some kind of mental facility. Oh yeah, Charles had his coronation Sat morning, officially making him king. I didn't watch much because I was sleeping while most of it was on.
I guess I'll end there. I should be back next week.

On the Sat before Presidents Day, I got the car's oil changed, and looked over. Afterward, I visited places in Blue Springs, Independence, and my former town.
The first stop was the thrift store right near the dealership. There were 2 kid guitars. There were 2 snare drums. There was a glockenspiel. There was a clarinet. There was also an Alesis Melody 61 kb. This is just a preset kb, not an actual synth.
The next stop of note was Red Racks. There was a trombone for $189.
I then went next door to Goodwill. There was a kiddie kb. There was another kiddie kb, but I made a note about it which I can't read.
Next was the pawn shop next door to that shopping center. There was a trombone, trumpet, 2 flutes, and an autoharp. For amps, there was a Peavey 6505+. There was an acoustic brand amp that was actually for acoustic instruments. For guitars, there was a Dean bass and acoustic. I think there were 2 Squiers. One was a Mustang, and I think the other was a Jaguar bass. There was a Jackson superstrat with a hh pu config, 24 frets, and a whammy bar. There was an Ibanez with the same features. There was another Ibanez which I think was a Steve Vai signature model with 6 strings. There was an 8-string electric, but I don't know/recall the brand. There was a Greg Bennet lp style guitar with 2 knobs. My notes mention Rogue, but I can't read what I said about it. There is also another item I cant even read.
Next is Thrift World. There was a plucked dulcimer. There was also a Casio CTK-491.
At the Red Racks, there was a Realistic Concertmate 900 which was overpriced at $55.98.
In my former town, the first place of note was the music store. When I went in, I got a shock, all the guitars/amps/effects were gone. It was just orchestra instruments and digital pianos. I asked a worker what happened, and he told me to follow him. There was a large room in the back with all the good stuff. My notes say PRS. I don't know if that was for guitars, amps, or both. I also said VOX, which is prob an AC30 reissue. There was a Soldano speaker cabinet. I also mentioned Orange, which is prob combos. I also mentioned Friedman. I'm thinking that was a head. I'm thinking it was sitting on the Soldano cab. There were 2 used Fender amps. One was a Twin Reverb, and the other a Quad Reverb. The numerical part of the models refers to the # of speakers. My notes also mention Mesa. I think it refers to amps, but am unsure if it also refers to effects units. For effects, they have a ton, but I only noted JHS. For kb, there were 2 different Nord models. There was also a new Oberheim synth.
The last stop of note was the Savers in the same shopping center. There were 2 kiddie kb. Ther was also a Maestro acoustic.

On 4/27, I had my 6 month dr appointment. It was with a new dr. The new one I visited in Oct is already gone. After, I went to the places in my former town.
The first place of note is the antique store. There is a for sale sign outside. The lady inside said they won't close until the building is sold. In the booth where there were vacuum tubes, there were a ton. There was also what looked to be a tube tester.
The next stop was the music store. Again, I went to the back, where the good stuff is. The Obrheim was still there. There were 3 Nord kb this time. They have a bunch of nice guitars. They had 1 or more of The Hertigage brand. There was a used Gibson Les Paul. They have a ton of different brands of effects. Besides JHS, I think I recall Joyo and BOSS. For amps, There were a bunch of Orange combos. There was a Friedman half-stack. There was also a Soldano half-stack. One worker was pulling a new Soldano head out of the box. The exterior was snakeskin. The Fender Quad was still there, but don't remember the Twin. I think there was a VOX AC30 reissue. There was a guy playing through a Bad Cat combo. I think it's supposed to be a AC30 clone. There was another guy that played through the Soldano half-stack. I think there was a Marshall combo. I think I also saw a Mesa Boogie combo.
The other place of note was the thrift store where I'm frinds with the manager. There was a flute. There was a Yamaha kb. I think it was a PSR-170.

Hello there. It is 1224am as I start this. It has been a shitty week. Again, I didn't write everything down. On Fri, I had a case of the burps, and had to take a dump during Smackdown. Today(Sat) I had a case of the burps. I'll talk about that way below. ALso on Sat, a house a bit up the street were having a party. There were people parked on the dtreet. There was a suv parked with its right side wheels off thge street and a bit into the ditch. The driver was apparently a moron and somehow got deeper in the ditch. I thought he would get stuck and need a tow. I went to change the cahnnel on the tv, and when I looked out, he was back on the street. A bit later, I took a look at the ditch. This fuckhead caused the ground of the steet side of the ditch to collapse. I sat on the ground and used my feet to try to push the ground back to how it was before. I then wish he had gotten stuck, or somehow shot acrooss the steet where he would've been stuck even more, or even on his side. Regarding work, I got a 20yr plaque. It was in the mailroom. I didn't want to get it right away because the mgr is supposed to send me a new headset. She needed the address to ship it. I didn't know, so I had the guy who emailed me about the plaque tell the mgr what the address label on the plaque said. Somehow, my mgr had the guy send my plaque to her. She will hopefully send it back next week. I'm going to get both things at the same time, since the mailroom is on the other side of the complex, and is quite a fucking walk.
There are some meal-related things, which I'll mention later.
I also mowed the lawn for the first time on Wed. I did the "whole" front, and a little of the back. That being said, there were quite a few long grasses that just got bent, but didn't get mowed. Even so, the front looks a lot better.
There is some good news. The cat finally decided to come in Sat night. There was a thunderstorm going on, and my mom said she was a bit wet.
I guess I'll get to the food now.
Sat: My "meal" was ~half a bag of strore-brand pretzel rings. They were good.
Sun: My meal was the easy one with a bunch of stuff. I had a can of Pringles. They were the Pizza variety. They were good. I had a bag of Chex Mix. It was the Bold variety. It was good. I had ~half an 8oz block of store brand monterey jack cheese. It was good. I took it out of the fridge a few hrs before I ate it. One meat item was a 3oz package of store-brand peperoni. It was good. I took it out of the fridge with the cheese. The other item was a can of ALDI Vienna sausage. It was good. I took it out of the fridge. I forget if the liquid gooified.
Mon: I didn't have anything.
Tue: I opened up a bag of ALDI sliced peperoni.
My first snack was a bag of Turkey Creek porkrinds fromn ALDI. They were the Chili-Lime flavor. They were ok. I could taste the lime, but don't remember about the heat.
My second snack was a can Vigo Jumbo Squid In Sunflower And Olive Oil. It was good. I took it off the shelf.
My third snack was a bag of Brim's Fiery Hot cheetos. They were good.
For my meal, my snack item was a bag of store-brand doritos. They were the ranch flavor. They were good.
My meal was a package of Bar-S hotdogs. They were the Classic variety. This meal was a make up from when I had a bad package. I decided to do an experimenmt. I still had the buns from the last time, which I had put in the freezer. I had thawed them out. I took a hd and put one on each of the 4 buns. I then took toothpicks and poked them through the hd and buns to keep each pair together. I took my oil pot and had taken out of the fridge earlier. I heatede the oiul up on the stove. I took a hd/bun and put it in the fryer basket. I then put it in the oil. The hd/bun floated to the top, so I had to take my tongs to hold it in the oil. When I felt this was done, I took the basket out of the oil, and put the hd/bun on my plate to let the excess oil come off. I repeated that for the other 3 hd/bun pairs. I then put these in my pan, and dumped the oil back in the pot. I then took the other 4 hd and put them in the basket. I put it in the oil, and let them cook. I then took them out of the oil. I then put some cabbage in the basket, then put that in the oil. When the cabbage seemed cooked, I took it out of the oil. I took my onion, which was starting to go bad, and cut a few slices. I pu tthose in the basket and put in the oil. I took it out when they looked done.
I took the toothpicks out of the hd/bun pairs. I used yellow mustard on all 8 hd. For the ones on the buns, I had them in this order: none cabbage onion both As for the taste, they were ok. The buns were crunchy, but were very oily. As for the4 naked hd, I had them "plain" or with cabbage and/or onion until all of it was gone. There was enough to use with all 4 hd.
Before I cooked the hd, I put a couple slices of the salami in the basket and fried it. It was good.
The next day, I didn't feel too good. That was because of the oil in the buns.
Wed: I didn't have anything.
Thu: My snack was a container of meatballs from the hot case of a grocery store. I warmed them up in the microwave before I ate them. They were good. They said they were Swedish meatbaslls. I think the defintion of that is meartballs in meat gravy, which they were. I've said before that I'm half Swedish. My parents used a recipe from my Swedish grandmother. There was no gravy. The 2 important ingredients were allspice and fried onions. The main part of my meal was chicken from Church's. They have a M-Th deal from 2-4pm where you can get 4 legs and 4 thighs for $7.99. I got the spicy variety. When I got to my car, I opened the box. The legs were tiny, and the thighs weren't that big. The thing I had with my chicken was Italian Cheese Bread for Little Caesars. Because of the small chicken, I got 2 orders. If the chicken was normal size, I would've only gotten 1 order. The small chicken was also the reason I got the meatballs. If the chicken was normal, I wouldn't have gotten any. When it was time to eat, I set the oven to 400F. I put the chicken on my cookie sheet. I wated until the oven was ready. I put the LC boxes in the oven, and put the cookie sheet on top of them. I waited 15 min. I took the cookie sheet out and put the chicken in my pan. I took the LC boxes out. As all that suff was in the oven, I heated up a can of Great Value chicken gravy. As for the meal, the chicken was good plain and with the gravy. When the chicken was done, there was a bit of gravy left, which I ate. It was good. The ICB was good. I ate all of the first one. I may have been feeling full when I finished it. I ate more than half of the second one, but then couldn't continue. I put the rest in the fridge.
I don't know if I could've finished the ICB if I hadn't had the meatballs earlier.
I felt crappy during most of the day during work on Fri.
Fri: Here is the other food issue. The one Grocery chain is doing a bogo deal on thier Chinese meals for F-Su. If it had been the day before, I would have did that, and got a few more things for my meal. Since it wasn't, I had 2 options. One was to get them and other stuff, put it all in the fridge, and heat it up for my Sun meal. The other was to get them, and have one meal each for my 2nd and 3rd Fri snacks. I decided not to get them, and just stayed home(I worked from home).
I had some of the salami.
My first snack was ~half an 8oz bag of Brim's Movie Theater Butter Popcorn. I put canola oil on it. It was good. I had it at 1237am during one stations rebroadcast of their 10pm news.
My second snack was a Banquet chicken pot pie. I cooked it in the microwave. It was good. I had it at 137am during another stations reboradcast of the 10pm news.
My third snack was the leftover LC ICB. I took it out of the fridge a few hrs before I had it. I also cut up the little bit of the onion I had in the fridge. When I was going to eat, I set the oven to 400F. I rubbed canola oil all over it. I then put the oniopns on top. I put it in one of the LC boxes. When the oven was ready, I put the box in the oven. I kept it in for 15 min, then took it out. It was very good. The cheeses was nice and gooey. I didn't really taste the onion. If I had know how good it was, I would've stopped eating it sooner the night before.
I had this at 5am. My origianal plan was to turn the oven on to preheat near the end of the 330am rebroadcast of TMZ, then put it in after. I fell asleep during TMZ, even though I took a nap before. I woke up around 430. I then got up and turned the oven on.
I had an extra snack. I made some popcorn. I made it in 3 batches. When each was done, I poured it into the food box I use for that. I then added canola oil and black pepper. After the last batch, I also added some soy sauce. As for the taste, it was good. I didn't taste the soy sauce. I ate this around 1130am I think.
Sat: I had some more of the salami.
You may be thinking what happened to the croutons. I usually have them after 7pm Sat. I didn't because I was having a bit off ass pressure. I waited until 11pm. They were the Classic Caesar from ALDI. They were good.
Because I had the croutons late, In decided to have my sweet stuff an hr later than normal. I did have 3 of the Sathers Lemon Drops during the TMZ weekend edition though.
When I actually had the sweet stuff, I started with cereal and pb.
I had a package of LD Nutty Buddy bars. They were good. I took them out of the frezer. I had a store-brand yogurt. It was raspberry. It was good. I finished the coconut. It was good. I finished the peanut m&m's. They were good. I opened a new pkg of Oreo Double Stuf cookies. They were good. I took them out of the freezer. I also had a bag of Clancy's Cinnanmon Churros. They were good. Wven though the bag is only 3oz, it seemed a bit too much. Maybe next week I'll not eat the whole other bag.
That's it for the food. I know what I'm having for my "Sat" "meal". You should know what I'm having for my Sun meal.
It is 647am as I post this. SNL was a repeat(Quinta Bruson/Lil Yachty), and I didn't need to watch it. That was good, because like I said a bit ago, I had ass pressure. I got up and took a watery dump. I sat back down and ate my croutons. I watched Weekend Update. When that was over, I started reading the TJRWrestling Smackdown recap. At midnight, I got up and got the food ready for later. I then sat down and started typing. I did stop for a while between 1 and 2 to do an image search puzzle. I stopped at 2 to take my nap. I got up for 3 for the TMZ weekend edition. I was typing until 4. I then got up and got my food together. I then sat down to eat and type. I forget when I got done eating. I started typing again. I did stop again to look at CNN and Virtual Railfan. I then started typing again. I then stopped to cut one toenail, and pull another completely out. I then looked up, and saw a bug(I think a spider) crawling on the ceiling directly above me. Oh hell no! I got up and got rid of it. Often, if I find spiders in the house, I'll take a soap box and catch them, then put them outside. Not in this case! I then put the food stuff away. I sat back down at 630am.
Ok, here is the other stuff section. During the previous week, there was the 20th anniversary of the May 4th tornado that did a lot of damage in the KC area. If I had driven to the top of the hill where I used to live that day, I could've seen it hit the nearby college. Last Thu(May11) was the last day of the COVID pandemic. President Biden signed some other proclamation some weeks ago along those lines. My issue with both of these is that I've never heard any endorsements of either date from any health/medical gov entities(CDC, NIH, US Surgeon Generall, etc). I don't have an issue with him, but then he's no health expert. Part of that deals with immigration. Of course, our attention whore Senator, Josh Hawley, had to make a comment.
I guess that will be it this week. I should be back next week.

****************NOTE**************** Subway has changed its menu. They have removed some sandwiches, and added others. They have also changed components of some of the sandwiches. Check your local location to see what their menu is, and check the components to see if they are what you want. I will keep this up so you can see what they originally were. ****************END NOTE****************
I decided to post the 12 "new" Subway sandwiches:
#1 The Philly The classic cheesesteak stacked with juicy steak and a double helping of provolone toasted on Artisan Italian bread and topped with green peppers, red onions and mayo.
#2 The Outlaw Spicy, cheesy, smoky — this one’s got it all. Juicy steak meets double Pepper Jack cheese, with green peppers, red onions, and Baja Chipotle sauce toasted on Artisan Italian bread. Try not to fall head over heels.
#3 The Monster Got a monstrous appetite? We’re talking thick juicy steak, crisp bacon, a double helping of Monterey cheddar, green peppers and red onions piled high and served toasted on Artisan Italian bread and topped off with creamy Peppercorn Ranch.
#4 Supreme Meats One sandwich reigns supreme. Black Forest ham, Genoa salami, pepperoni, and our NEW capicola on fresh-baked Artisan Italian bread with provolone cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, and banana peppers…all topped off with our famous MVP Parmesan Vinaigrette.
#5 Bella Mozza Lotsa meat and lotsa mozzarella make this special. Thin-sliced Black Forest ham, our NEW capicola, and BelGioioso Fresh Mozzarella on fresh-baked Artisan Italian bread. Topped with spinach, tomatoes, red onions, and banana peppers and drizzled with our tangy MVP Parmesan Vinaigrette.
#6 The Boss It’s the mother of all meatball subs. Juicy meatballs drenched in marinara sauce with slices of pepperoni and BelGioioso Fresh Mozzarella. Sprinkled with parmesan and served toasted on Italian Herbs & Cheese bread.
#7 The MexiCali Head for the Southwest with juicy rotisserie-style chicken, smashed avocado, double Pepper Jack cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and red onions topped with our smoky Baja Chipotle sauce and served toasted on Artisan Italian bread.
#8 The Great Garlic Our NEW creamy garlic sauce is the secret to this sub. We pile juicy rotisserie-style chicken, crispy bacon, provolone, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions served toasted on Artisan Italian bread…all topped off with our NEW creamy Roasted Garlic Aioli. Irresistible!
#9 The Champ Tender hand-pulled rotisserie-style chicken, a double helping of Monterey Cheddar, green peppers, and red onions. Topped off with creamy Peppercorn Ranch and served toasted on Artisan Italian bread. This one’s a winner!
#10 All-American Club The American classic. Oven-roasted turkey, Black Forest ham, crisp bacon, and American cheese with lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, and mayo. Served toasted on Artisan Italian bread.
#11 Subway Club Oven-roasted turkey, Black Forest ham, USDA Choice Roast Beef, provolone cheese piled on Hearty Multigrain bread and topped with lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, and mayo. A club sandwich the Subway style.

Hello there. It is 1133pm as I start this. This was another shitty week. My headphones are getting worse, to the point where I almost can't get them working. A new headset is being shipped to me. I talked about the debacle last week. I don't know if the manager shipped my plaque back yet. On Mon, I went to ALDI, and they didn't have any coconut. I also forgot to get some more croutons. On Tue, I went to the ALDI a bit out of the way on my way home from work. I got my croutons, but forgot to look for the coconut. I went back on Wed. They didn't have any coconut. I asked the mgr at that store to see if the ALDI at the edge of the hood had any. He looked it up on his computer, and they didn't. At least I didn't have to make the trip over there. On Thu, I went to Save A Lot to get some things on sale. When I got there, most of their freezer cases were empty. I looked in the floor case, and the items weren't there either. I had to make a special trip over to another SAL on Fri, which was successful. Speaking of Fri.... First, there was a small fly on my work computer screen. A bit later, I had a 2 hr call. After that, I got up to go look for the fly, but my computer discoonected from the network. I tried to reconnect, and that started a chain of events that kept me from working for over an hr. I was then helping a woman when I got a call. Usually, it's someone trying to seperate me from my money. It was the dr's office. They said I have low vitamin D. I have a prescription for 12 weeks, then I have to take an over the counter D pill. I also have to take fish oil pills now. I'm already taking a bunch of pills. I thought I had quite a few more years until I had to take a ton of pills. While I was still on the phone with the woman, I heard a knock on the door. I didn't get up to answer because I was busy, didn't want to fuck up the computer, I was naked, and I assumed it was someone shithead doing door to door sales. A few min later, the power went off for a tiny amoun of time, then came back on. I then figured the knock was related. I got up, and saw an electric co truck in the driveway. There was a worker there. I opened the door a bit(I was still naked) and asked what happened. He said my meter was bad, so he replaced it.* My computer was being crappy again. Also, besides the SAL trip, I also had to go to WM to get coconut. On Sat night, some bug landed on my computer monitor. I don't know if it was the fly form Fri.
I also had 3 food-related things. I'll mention 2 later, and the other next week, which'll make sense when I tell you.
I did have 1 good thing. When I went to WM for the coconut, I found 2 bags of GV funyuns.
On Tue at ALDI, I looked for the fried onions. They were blowing them out for $0.99 a can. I picked up 5 cans. That can be a good thing, but maybe not, which will make sense a bit later.
* I wanted to talk about the electric meter. I thought it would take way longer to replace. On Sat, I went in the backyard to look. The meter looks to be just the glass thing, and looks like it pops in and out of the metal box, so the time does seem correct.
I can now get to the food.
I do have to make a confession. This is in regard to my Sat sweet stuff. For the past few weeks, before I have the ceral and pb, I have one of the two Sathers Lemon Drops I have.
Now for this week.
Sat: I had some of the salami.
My "meal" was ~half a 15oz bag of store-brand pretzel rings. They were good.
Sun: I had some of the salami.
My meal was a meal I had before. I had a can of Deutsche Kuche Herring Fillets in Curry Pineapple Sauce. It was good. I took it out of the fridge. I had a box of Ritz crackers. They were the Everything variety. They were good. I could tell there was some flavor, but couldn't identify any specific item. I also had ~half an 8oz block of store-brand monterey jack. It was good. I took it out of the fridge a few hrs before I ate.
Mon: I didn't have anything.
Tue: I had some of the salami.
My 1st snack was a can of fried onions from ALDI, but not one of the ones I bought earlier that day. Unfortunately, they were very salty. I hope the other cans are not. My 2nd snack was a can of Northern Catch smoked oysters in oil. They were good. I took them off the shelf. My 3rd snack was a bag of Fieras takis. They were the Chili & Lime variety. They were good. there was quite a bit of heat. I had most of them plain, but I also had some with Belfonte sour cream, which was good. It was a 16oz container, and I wanted to save most of it for my meal.
My meal was a package of Bar-S turkey hotdogs. I cooked them in the microwave. I did a bit of an experiment. Before I put the hd in the casserole dish, I put in some cabbage, and mixed it with water. I hd 4 hd on buns, and 4 naked. I had mustard on all of them. I also used some onion. The order I had the ones on buns was: just mustard cabbage onion both All the hd were good. I used up the cabbage and onion on the naked ones until they(c/o) were gone. The cabbage tasted better than raw, but not as good as when it is fried.
My snack item was a bag of Ruffles. They were the Flamin Hot variety. I had them both plain and with the sc. While they were good both ways, there was a negative. There was zero heat.
Wed: I didn't have anything.
Thu: I finished the salami.
I got my meal at Subway. I called ahead to make sure they take coupons, and I could get the numbered sandwiches. I had intened to get the Bella Mozzarella, but when I got there, THEY FUCKING CHANGED THE FUCKING MENU!!!!!!!!!!!! They replaced a few of the original 12, icl the BM, with others. I used the coupon for 3. I got the other 2 I planned on. For the other, I wanted to do a do over of the Great Garlic, becuse they did have rotisserie chicken. Besides ther flatbread, I told the worker to use the standard ingredients. For the cheese, instead of provolone, he put on a shredded mix of some white cheese and cheddar. I asked him why he did that when it was supposed to be provolone. He said it wasn't. i looked up at the menu board. THEY CHANGED THE FUCKING INGREDIENTS FOR SOME OF THE SANDWICHES!!!!!!!!!!!! I should have known when the worker used the Italian bread for one of the sandwiches instead of the multigran that was originally used. Since the cheese was shredded, he couldn't put it back, and I just accepted it. I saw they changed the cheee for The Philly. It used to be provolone, but I think it's American now. I got my sandwiches and left. After doing a bit of shopping, I went to another Subway, and the menu and ingredients were changed there also. I used another coupon and got another sandwich.
For all the sandwiches, I had them add parmesan. I didn't have any toasted. When it was time to eat, I warmed them up in the microwave. the order I had them in was:
Great Garlic
Subway Club(the one that originally used multigrain bread)
Supreme Meats
The Outlaw(the one I got at the 2nd place)
As for the taste, I think they were good, but I was still super pissed over the whole ordeal. I'm going to do a do over, but do the SC/SM/TO together, and the GG seperate. That'll be the 2nd do over for the GG.
Fri: I opened a new package of salami from ALDI.
My first snack was ~half an 8oz bag of Brim's Movie Theater Butter Popcorn. I put vegetable oil on it. It was good. I had it at 1237am during one stations rebroadcast of their 10pm news.
I got my second snack from the cold case of a grocery store. It was egg salad. It was good. I had it at 137am during another stations reboradcast of the 10pm news.
My third snack was from the hot case of the grocery store. It was 1 piece of breadded swai, and 2 pieces of breadded cod. I heated them up in the microwave before I ate. They were good. I had them during the 330am rebroadcast of TMZ.
I decided to make some pocorn for an extra snack. I made it like the other times, but used vegetable oil instead of canola. I made 3 small batches. After the first batch was done, I added oil and black pepper. I did the same after the third batch. It was good. I was eating it with my chopsticks. I set them on my leg. One of them fell off and went into the chir beside the cushion. I used my hand to eat the rest of the popcorn. I washed the chopstick later. Ithink I had the popcorn around 1230pm.
My last snack was ALDI croutons. They were the Italian Seasoned variety. They were good. I had them around 72opm.
Sat: I had my sweet stuff. I had a Sathers Lemon Drop when getting stuff together. I then started with cereal and pb.
I had another of the Sathers LD. It was good. I had a package of LD Nutty Buddy bars. They were good. I took them out of the freezer. I opened a new package of coconut. It was good. I had a store-brand yogurt. It was Blueberry. It was good. I had some of the Oreos. They were good. I took them out of the freezer. I finished the store-brand chips. They were good. I had a bag of Clancy's Cinnamon Churros. they were good.
That's it for the food. I'll be having something a bit new for my "Sat" "meal". My Sun meal will be stuff I've had before, but it's been a while since I had it.
Next weekend is the Memorial Day Weekend. I will be having special meals. I know what I'm having for 2 of them, 1 of which is an experiment. I have another meal planned, but that will depend on outside forces. It will make sense when I type it up next week. As for the last of the meals, I still haven't really decided what I want.
It is 456am as I post this. SNL was a repeat(Molly Shannon/Jonas Brothers), so I didn't need to watch it. I think I was looking at TJRWrestling for a while. I got up around 11pm to get the food ready for later. I then watched Weekend Update. I then started typing. I only did for a few min, then I stopped to watch the fashion show sketch on Benny Hill. Sue Upton looked so fucking hot there. I then kept on typing until 2am, when I went to take my nap. I got up for 3 for the TMZ weekend edition. I got my food and sat down. I mostly ate, but did some typing. I got done eating a bit after 4. I've been watching Forged in Fire then.
Here is where I talk about other stuff. The thing is, I don't have anything this week. No celebrity deaths. No standout political retardation. No major criminal shit.
I should be back next week, albeit prob later than usual. See you whenever.

On 4/28, I did my annual north of the river pawn/thrift/gun/music store trip. There were 4 thrift stores in a row where I didn't find anything. I'll mention a few other places where I didn't find anything because I have a reason. There was a place I forgot to visit, which I'll mention later.
The very fist stop was the shopping center with the thrift store and outlet store. There wasn't anything at either of them. The thrift store will go to a new location when they find one.
The next stop was the Salvation Army hq thrift store. I mentioned in my weekly post about the car wreck causing the traffic to be fucked up on my way over there. There was nothing in the as-is area. I the main part, there were 3 things behind the counter. There was a kid's acoustic guitar, and a Silvertone regular size one. There was also a Peavey Vypr amp.
Next was the gun shop. There was a Spanish rifle. I couldn't hear if the worker said it was based on an AK-47 or some model of H&K. I had asked if it was a clone of a FN FAL.
The next place of note was Savers. There was a Series 10 strat behind the counter. There was a kiddie electronic drum unit. There was a kiddie kb.
I then went to the Salvation Army thrift store. There was a kiddie kb. There was a sword that I think was based on some kind of fantasy media. There was also a samurai sword. I don't know if it's real or the more likely copy. I also noted a martial arts weapon called a kama. I'm pretty sure it had a blade design with circular holes. Also, I'm not sure if there was 1 or 2.
Then was the "new" pawn shop. For guns, I noted there were coach guns. For guitars, I noted 4 with a hh pu config, 24 frets and a whammy bar: Samick Greg Bennett, Washburn X Series, Telluride(never heard of), and some unknown brand. I noted 3 strats: Squier, Zeny(never heard of), and another unknown. There was an Ibanez guitar with an hsh pu config. There was some old Kay guitar with a neck position humbucker. I recall it being a (semi)hollowbody. There was a Dean ML. There was an Epiphone lp special with 2 knobs and 2 P-90 pickups. For amps, there was an Ibanez combo. My notes say "Soundworks", but that name does not exist. It may have been Sound Wave. When I look up those, the pics seem to look different to what I saw. There was a VOX AC30, which was prob a reissue. There was a Crate G40C combo. There was a Marshall combo, which was almost certainly a crappy one. There was an Ashdown bass amp. I think it was a combo. Three was a Hartke HA3000 bass head. For kb there was an Alesis ? 61. I know it wasn't a Melody 61, because I remembered it wasn't the same model as the one I saw at the thrift store near the dealership where i got my oil done in Feb. I think this one was a Talent 61. For other stuff, there was a violin, saxophone, harmonica set, banjo, and mandolin-banjo(look it up yourself).
The next stop was the "tornado" Cash America. Behind the counter was a Fender Strat for $1279. The price means it was made in the US. There was also an Ibanez with a hsh pu config. I seem to recall it was one of the models with a very thin body. There was a mixer. I can't read my notes except to say the make/model has "32". For amps, the only one I noted was a Rogue bass combo. For kb, there was a Casio digital piano. There was also a Casiaha kb, but I can't recall if there was only one. There was a xylophone. For guitars, There was an Ibanez that looked like a PRS copy. It was 3 knobs. There was also an LTD that looked like a PRS copy, but only had 2 knobs. There was a Samick Sonata. There was a Daisy Rock lp special. There was an Epiphone lp jr. In the glass case near the door, there was a Blackstar mini amp.
Then was Red Racks. There was a kid guitae and ukelele. think there was some kind of graphics on each, but I can't remember. Behind the counter, there was a Casio CT-650. I think it was around $60. There was also an oscilloscope for $98.88.
Next was the strip club pawn shop. The old Peavey pa mixer was gone, but there was a Soundcraft pa mixer, and a modern Peavey mini mixer. There was a double turntable that I think was a cd one. The Sadowski di was still there. as was the KORG mini version of the MS-20. There were also 2 snare drums that also came with bags. I didn't look in them to see if they had other percussion instruments inside. For guitars, there was a First Act guitar with just 1 humbucker. There was a Jackson 7 string guitar. There was a Diamond lp with 2 knobs. There was a strat from a brand called J Reynolds. I couldn't find anything on this brand, but I don't think it's related to the cigarette company of the same name. I think it's just a crappy beginner brand. There was an Ibanez GiO strat with a hss pu config. There was a Dean Playmate strat with a hs pu config.
I then went to the Claycomo gun store. Normally, that would be my last stop. But since I was making good time, I went to the places in Platte County along 1-29. This does not include Benttey Guitars, because that is quite out of the way.
My first stop was supposed to be the Riverside gun shop that used to be a pawn shop, except I forgot about it.
In the one thrif store's as-is building, there was a kiddie xylophone made out of wood.
In the actual thrift store, there was a flute for $19. There was also a Casio CTK-451.
I went over to the music store which was closed again. It is only open on Fri via appointment.
My last stop was Guitar Center. There's quite a bit of stuff, so I didn't take notes. I went to the website that night and noted just the stuff I remember seeing there. For guitars, there were 4 Fender Strats. There was a strat made from 3rd party parts. There were 2 G&L teles. There was an Alvarez AAT33. There was an Epiphone v. There was a Yamaha AES 820. There was a Hamer Duosonic. There was a Schecter CR-6. There was a Strandberg Boden. There was a D'Angellico EXL-1. For amps, there was a BOSS Katana Air Wireless. There was a Line 6 Catalyst 100. There was a Bugera V55. There was a Marshall DSL40CR. There was a Fender Twin Reveb reissue. There was a RMS ADG15B. There is no infom online about this amp. There was an AXL B60 bass amp. There was a used Telonics TCA500C combo for $1899.99. It is for pedal steel guitars. I think it is solid state, which makes the price very ridiculous. In the effects section, there was a BluGuitar AMP 1, which is actually a tiny amp. There was an Ibanez TRMINI tremolo pedal, and TR808 overdrive reisuue. There was a Pigtronix Resotron. There was a Walrus Audio Janus. There was a Lone Wolf Audio Burning Spirit. There was a Hotone Effects Binary. There was a BOSS RV-6 reverb. There were 2 Eventide H( pedals. There was a JOYO Voodoo Octave. There was a JHS Overdrive Preamp. There was a DOD Gunslinger. There was a DigiTech TRIO Band Creator, and PDS 2000 delay/sampler(looper).

Hello, it is 1231am as I start this. It was been another shitty week. I forget some of the stuff. On Tue, I went to mow the lawn. I had just started, and got near the street. There was a dead snake. It was on its back, there were flies around it, and it looked wet. I put an empty Ruffles bag on my hand. I had a Monk moment when I picked up the snack and threw it on the street across from my house(I live at a "T" intersection). I was yelling "ew" the whole time. Even though I had the bag on my hand, I washed it off afterward. I think the snake had split open, but thankfully didn't stink. On Wed, my mom called saying my dad was taken by ambulance to the hospital. I won't go into much about that, except to say that it sounds like he has a bacterial infection, and sounds like he is getting better. On Thu, I went in to do something at my computer at work, which I'll mention in a bit. I also had a training session over Teams, but fell asleep during it. After I came home from shopping, I was delayed getting stuff done due to there being to flies in the house. Due to them, I didn't get to sit down to watch Young Sheldon. I tried watching it, but was too amped up to concentrate on it. It was one of the episodes I needed to watch again due to there being glitching when it was originally on. On Fri, I had to go back into the office for work. This was because I got a new computer. When the guy was setting up my computer, I had to be there the whole time. I was hoping that I could go back to my desk and wait for a call saying it was ready. That was because I had something else to do. My dad is the one who cleans the cat's litterbox because my mom can't use the stairs because of her legs. Because my dad is in the hospital, the box didn't get cleaned. I was planning on going over there to clean the box while my computer was being done. I had a 4 hr window for the computer setup. It was done a bit after 2 hrs. I went back to my cubicle and cleaned the computer and the peripherals due to my ocd. It was around 1150am. I still had an hr left. ANother thing had happened earlier. When I was pulling into the parking garage, the low tire warning light lit up. My car has tire sensors, and said one was low. I left work. I first stopped at home to get some stuff, including my tire gague. I checked all the tires, and one was low. I drove over to my parents. I cleaned the litterbox, and scooped up the 4 dumps the cat took on the floor. I then left. I then went to QuikTrip and got gas. I also went to the air machine and put air in my tire. I then went back to work. It was after 130pm. If the mgr had said something, I would've said I took my lunch and 1 of my breaks. The rest of the day was actually pretty fine. On Sat, I was going to take a shower, but there was a fly buzzing around. It took over 30 min to kill it because it was acting like it was coked up, and only landed a few times. Most flies sit on the one window, making them much easier to kill.
Now I can get to the food.
Sat: I had some salami.
My "meal" was ~half of a 12oz box of a store's brand of oyster crackers. They were good.
Sun: I had some salami.
The main part of my meal was 3 cans of Chef Boyardee type stuff rom either Save A Lot or ALDI. The order I had the items was: mini beef ravioli beefaroni spaghettios with meatballs They were all good. I also had a box of Chicken in a Biskit crackers. They were good. I also had an 8oz block of store-brand mozzarella. It was good. I took it out of the fridge a few hrs before I ate.
Mon: I didn't have anything.
Tue: I had some salami.
My first snack was a bag of Deutsche Kuche Potato Sticks. They were the Herbs of the Alps variety. They were good. My second snack was a can of Vigo Mussels In Marinade Sauce. They were good. I took them off the shelf. My third snack was a bag of Walmart funyuns. They were good.
My meal was Bar-S hotdogs. They were the Classic variety. I fried them in the pan with vegetable oil. After they were done, I fried some cabbage. Then I fried some onion. I then toasted the buns. I had 4 hd on buns, and the other 4 naked. I had all of them with mustard. The order for the buns was: just mustard cabbage onion both For the naked ones, besides the mustard, I used the cabbage and onion, both alone and together, until it was done. they were all good.
My snack item was a bag of Doritos. They were the Flamin' Hot Cool Ranch flavor. They were good. I think there was a small bit of heat.
Before I fried the hd, I put 4 slices of the salami in the pan and fried it. It was good.
Wed: I didn't have anything.
Thu: I had some salami.
My snack was 4 flautas from WM. I warmed them up in the microwave before I ate them. They were good.
I got my meal from Pizza Hut. They have a limited time Cheesesteak Pizza and Melt. I got one of each. When I got them, I saw that even though the pizza is large, it was still light. That's why I got the flautas at WM to snack on. When it was time to eat, I set the oven for 400F. I put the pizza in for 15 min. After 5 min, I added the Melt. Earlier that night, I thought I need to check the Melt box to see if there was a container of dipping sauce inside. I did not remember until a min after I took the stuff out of the oven. I quicky opened the box. There was a container of ranch in there. Thankfully, it had not melted, but was very warm.
As for eating, the pizza and Melt were ok. I also tried the ranch with both. It just made the bites I ate taste like ranch. I don't know if it being warm made any difference.
I won't get these again. They were $$$$, and the taste wasn't worth it. I can get a Little Caesars pizza and an order of Italian Cheese Bread for way less. I think the LC Crazy Calzony pizza is better than this PH one.
Fri: This was the first meal of the Memorial Day weekend special meals.
I went to the one grocery store's hot case and got all the breaded swai they had out. It was 7 normal pieces, and 2 smaller ones. It ended up being 3.9x lb. I was planning on getting a max of 4lb. If there had been cod, I would've gotten all of that, then got enough swai to reach 4lb.
When it was time to eat, I warmed it up in the microwave at 50% power. I think it was a total of 2 min. As for the taste, it was good at first. As I continued eating, I slowed down because somehow my body was trying to stop me. I would have to chew the bites up a ton before swallowing. It ended up taking 3 hrs to eat. I finished all of it. Apparently, the breading has a lot of salt in it. I usually don't notice when I normally have 1 or 2 pieces. I forget how many I had eating, but my mouth was burning or tingling. It would kind of go away when I would take a sip of water. When I was done, my tongue felt very bumpy.
Sat: This was a bit of an experiment. I heated up 3 cans of corned beef hash. What I did with it was make sandwiches. I used a bag of 6 small sub rolls I got at Walmart. They were odd because they were very flat. I took 4 of the rolls and put them in the oven for 10 min set at 400F. All the sandwiches were good. There looked to be enough hash left that I could've been another sandwich. I just ate the hash, which was good.
Sun: I finished the salami.
That's it for the food. I will be having my Sun meal a few hrs from now. It will be stuff I've never had before. It will just be heating stuff up, no actual making. I do know what I'm having for my Mon meal. It will involve heating up only 1 thing.
It is 1248am Mon as I post this. SNL was a repeat(Jack Harlow), and I didn't need to watch it again. I did watch Weekend Update. I did watch some of Benny Hill from 11-12. I think I was also looking at some stuff from Yahoo! News. I then got up and took a dump, and got some stuff ready in the kitchen for later. I then sat down and started typing. I stopped a bit after 220am to get my meal ready. It took longer than I thought to heat up the hash, but then I had the burner low when I took a second liquid dump. I think it was close to 330 when I ate. I got done eating after 4, but don't recall if it was closer to 430. I then watched the 2nd half of an episode of Forged in Fire, then the local news. I then fell asleep. I think I woke up a bit after 630. I then went in my bed to sleep. I got up at 9 for Meet The Press. I felt drowsy and fell asleep. I woke up right before 10. I turned on ABC, and there was Formula 1 racing on instead of This Week. Because I had watched Washington Week at 4am, and the local show wasn't on, I went back to my bed. I got up around 111pm. I did some reading. I then took a huge dump. I then checked my email. I then read Nextdoor. I then took a soft dump. I then took a nap from 7-9. I then got up and read YN. Right before 10, I called my mom. After that, I got up and looked at the stuff for my meal, so I could make a tentative schedule on how I would heat everything up. I also got some water, and brought the salami in here to eat. I watched MTP online while typing, and am now watching Face The Nation online.
Now for the other stuff. Quite a few people died this week, but I only wanted to discuss one. That is Tina Turner. My favorite song of hers is We Don't Need Another Hero, which is the song from Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, in which she also starred. She was also very good in that movie. Also, Henry Kissinger turned 100 on Sat. I can't think of anything else to discuss here tonight, so I will leave it here. Actually, I do have something. I was just reading the comments on a Yahoo! News story about North Korea. Is it me, or do all these red hat retards pretend to be experts on everything, yet have less than average knowledge on said things? The one that comes to mind is communism. I am reminded of the Inigo Montoya quote from The Princess Bride: "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." Communism is an economic system, not a form of government. Cuba, USSR, China, NK are brutal dictatorships with a communist economic system. Possibly, communism under a benevolent gov may be a good thing. It was used as a way for people to support these evil people.
See you next week. Hopefully much earlier.

Hello, it is 114am as I start this. Another shitty week. My dad is still in the hospital. That means I have to clean the cat's litterbox. I did it M/W/F. After I did it on Mon, I was trying to pour some more litter in. My wallet and credit card fell out of my shirt pocket, and landed on the floor next to the box. I went outside right away to my car, and cleaned them off. On Wed and Fri, I left my wallet in the car. I had a case of liquid poo on Sat, and went 3 times. On Fri, they released the schedule for the next 2 weeks at work. I have to work with people through a chat function, instead of on the phones. What makes it really bad is that I'm still at home, due to not having my headset yet. I think I've previously explained all that. The problem doing the chat at home is that I'm using the laptop, with its smaller kb, on my tv tray. I have to reach up to type. I may have to try keeping it in my lap. My tire is still leaking. I will have to get it fixed, prob sooner rather than later. I thought I had some leftover lug nuts. I looked in the garage Fri and Sat, and they are not there. The only other place I think they can be is on my table, which is covered with a fuckton of shit. I started cleaning the table off on Fri, and continued on Sat. On Wed after work, I paid a bill, went to ALDI, then Walmart. I saw the traffic was very slow. I got onto the road. There was a wreck, backing up traffic. I had to wait a long time to get over to my mom's house to clean the litterbox. I was hauling ass, and went around a corner fast. An empty hand cleaner container that was sitting on the floor on the passenger side rolled up on the center hump and was touching my leg. When I got to the house, I cleaned my leg off.
I had 2 meal-related issues which I'll mention when it's time.
I think I can get to the food now.
Sun: This is what I'll call an ALDI frozen foods meal because that is 100% accurate. All but one item were cooked in the oven. I had a Duetsche Kuche Artichoke & Cheese Strudel and Spinach & Ricotta Strudel. They were both good. There was a bit of a negative in them being a bit of a pain to cut. If I had them on a cutting board, it would prob be much easier. I had a package of DK Mushroom Schupfnudeln. It was good. This was the thing I cooked on the stove. I had a box of Arancini. They were the Sweet Pea variety. They were decent. There was a prominent pea flavor. There was also a mushroom variety, but when I decided to buy, they only had the pea ones. I would've preferred the mushroom. I don't know if I would've bought both if they had both, or gotten the mushroom instead. I also had a box of Mini Naanpanadas. They were the Butter Chicken variety. They were good. They tasted like curry. There was a large packet of tamarind dipping sauce in the box. It was not frozen, but very cold. I was holding it to let it warm up. I tried it on everything but the schu.... It was ok.
Mon This was the last of My Memorial Day weekend meals. Let me get to the bad news first. A while back, the one grocery chain had a sale on Frito Lay party size items. I had bought a bag of what I thought were Flamin' Hot Cheetos. I decided to have them. I opened up the bag, and they were orange, instead of red. I looked at the bag. THEY WERE REGULAR FUCKING CHEETOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was stuck. I decided to eat them. They actually weren't that bad, but due to negative experiences, I couldn't like them. I didn't finish the whole bag. My meat item was a can of Season Grilled Mackerel. It was good. I took it off the shelf. I had 3 cans of Campbell's Golden Mushroom soup. It was good. I also had 2 8oz packages of fresh mozzarella from ALDI. One was the "in Marinade", and the other the "in Pesto". Both were good. I took them out of the fridge a few hrs before I ate.
Tue: I didn't have anything.
Wed: Due to the shit I had to deal with, I ate much more than I planned to.
I first finished the Cheetos. I had a few, and somehow they tasted better than during my Mon meal. I dumped the rest in my pot. I then added hot sauce, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. I think I put the lid on and shook the pot to mix everything up. I think the cheetos just tasted like hot sauce.
I opened a new package of ALDI salami.
My first snack was a bag of Clancy's pork rinds. They were the Hot & Spicy variety. They were good. I don't think there was much of the h/s stuff on them.
My second snack was a Big Mama picked sausage. It was good. There was something odd. I thought there was supposed to be some vinegar like liquid in the package. There wasn't. I'm hoping I was wrong, and not that there was a hole in the package.
My third snack was a can of ALDI fried onions. They were good. They might have been salty, but I didn't care.
My meal was a bunch of stuff. I had a bag of El Sabroso Original Guacachip("Guacamole Flavored Tortilla Chips") from Dollar Tree. They were good. I had a box of Chicken in a Biskit crackers. They were good. My meat item was a can of Northern Catch smoked oysters with the mini chili pepper. They were good. I had a can of store-brand Campbell's style(add water) chicken noodle soup. It was good. I also had an 8oz package of sliced mushrooms from ALDI. I had a few slices raw. They were good. I cooked the rest in my pan with some vegetable oil. They were good.
Thu: I had some salami.
I got my meal at Arby's, Wendy's, and KFC. I first went to Arby's. I then went to the nearby Wendy's. There was a worker sweeping the floor. When I got to the counter, she went there to get my order. She did not wash her hands. I just left. I then went to KFC. I then went to another Wendy's somewhat close to KFC. I got my stuff there.
When it was time to eat, I heated the stuff up in the oven because 4 things had foil wrappers, and another was in metal. I set the oven to 400F. I opened the wrapper, but kept them in. I set everything on the cookie sheet. When the oven was ready, I put the cs in. I left the stuff in for 5 min.
The first thing I had was the Grilled Chicken Wrap from Wendy's. It was good. The next item was the King's Hawaiian Sweet Heat Chicken Sandwich from Arby's. It was good. I recall there being some heat. Then I had a Spicy Chicken Sandwich from KFC. It was good. I don't recall there being any heat. I then had a Pot Pie from KFC. It was good. I then had another SCS from KFC. Same as the first. I used coupons for the KFC stuff. My last item was the Ghost Pepper Ranch Chicken Sandwich from Wendy's. It was good. There was heat, but it was delayed in that it seemed to come when I was done eating it. Even though it is supposed to be ghost pepper, there was not a lot of heat. I don't know if it was because the fucked it up, the sandwich wasn't very warm, or it's just not that hot to begin with.
Fri: I had some salami.
My first snack was ~half a 10oz bag of Brims Movie Theater Butter Popcorn. I had it with vegetable oil. It was good. I had it around 1237am during the one station's rebroadcast of the 10pm news.
My second snack was a Michellina's Grande entree. It was the Italian Sausage Pasta Bake. It was good. I had it at 330am during the rebroadcast of TMZ.
My third snack was homemade popcorn. I finished the bag of kernels, and there wasn't a lot there. I did it like I normally do. When it was done, I dumped it into the box the fish from last week came in. I then put in vegetable oil and shook the box. I then added black pepper and garlic powder, and shook the box again. It was good. I did taste some of the garlic. I had this around 1230 pm.
Sat: I had a bag of ALDI croutons. They were the Cheese & Garlic variety. They were good.
You may be wondering why I have these under Sat instead of Fri. First, right before I was going to start looking at Nextdoor, I fell aslepp for about 30 min. I wanted to look at it, and then take a nap. I was also getting ass pressure, even though I had taken a dump earlier. I got done looking at Nextdoor after 8pm. I then took a dump. I then went in and took a nap. When I didn't eat them at the normal time, I would eat them during the first 30 min of SNL. Let me finish this a bit later.
Because I had the croutons later, I had my sweet stuff later. I usually have it starting at 3am during the TMZ weekend edition. This time I waited until 4 to eat, during Forged in Fire.
I first had one of the Sathers Lemon Drops. It was good. I had another with the other stuff. I then had some cereal and pb. I had some of the coconut. It was good. I had a store-brand yogurt. It was lemon. It was good. I had the last package of Little Debbie Nutty Buddy bars. They were good. I took them out of the freezer. I finished the Oreos. They were good. I took them out of the freezer. I also had a new item. It was m&m's Eggs. They are the same size as the peanut ones, but are all chocolate inside.
I also had a beverage. It was Sparking Frost from ALDI. It was the Pineapple Coconut variety. It was ok. I mostly tasted pineapple. I did taste coconut for one of the last sips.
My "meal" was ~half of a 12oz box of a store's brand of oyster crackers. I had a few plain, which were good. For the rest, i put some vegetable oil on them. They were good. The oil made them seem less salty.
That's it for the food. I'll be having my meal in a few hrs. It is something I've had a bunch of times before.
It is 1128pm Sun as I post this. SNL was the Ana De Armas/Karol G episode, which I didn't need to watch. I was still on the phone with my mom during the first part of it. i was felling more ass pressure, so I didn't eat my croutons. I took a dump during the first musical performance. I was cleaning up during Weekend Update. I then got the stuff ready for later, then sat down. I forget what I was doing between then, and when I started typing. I think I looked at Virtual Railfan and/or Yahoo! News. I was typing until 2, when I went to take my nap. I got up for 3 for the TMZ weekend edition. After that, I got up and got the sweet stuff. I just did a small amount of typing when I was eating. When I was done, I resumed typing. After 630am, I went into my bed to sleep. I got up for 9 for Meet The Press. I soon fell asleep. I think i finally woke up at 1116am. I then started reading. I forget when I got done. I think that's when I went and took a dump. I then continued typing while "watching" Face The Nation online. I then looked at my email, then Nextdoor. The episode of The Simpsons that came on at 6 was one of the ones I needed to re-watch. I got done with Nd after 6, but it wasn't a big deal, because the USFL football game ran over, and TS was shown "in progress". Some time before 630, I got up and went into bed to take a nap. I got up at for Housebroken. After 9, I restarted my computer. After 930, I called my mom. I think I got done around 10. I was then looking at some other stuff online. I then resumed typing while "watching" MTP online.
Now for my last paragraph. I don't think anybody really famous died this week. There was an incident involving US and Chinese navy ships. If it wasn't so late, I'd discuss the Taiwan thing. I was watching the news about the Iowa GOP rallies. Niki Hailey said some fucking bullshit about trans mtf playing women's sports being the largest issue facing women. No it isn't, you stupid bitch. The correct issue is reproductive rights. Is she trying to compete with MTG and Bobert for stupidest GOP woman? There aren't that many trans mtf playing women's sports, and I would bet a majority of those aren't built like Mari from the anime Project A-ko.
I guess I'll leave it there.

Hello there. It is 1147pm as I start this. Another crappy week. On Wed, I went to a junkyard to see if they had any lugnuts for sale in the bldg. The lady said no. It is one of those places where you have to get your own shit off the junked cars. I did remark that lug nuts are something that would be easy to steal, so maybe they should have them in the bldg. I also asked if they had any 4-way lug wrenches, and she said no. After I left, I saw a fly in the car. I stopped, opened the doors, and it flew out. I have a spray bottle in the car when I go out, and I used it to clean where they fly landed. I still have to clean the cat's litterbox M/W/F. After I left on Fri, there was again a fly in the car. I opened the door when I was driving, and it got sucked out. I had to go over to a gas station to put gas in my dad's car for my mom. I cleaned inside while I waited for my mom to get there. A few min before that, I had to clean my back off. I had bumped into the one mirror on my dad's car when I was looking into my mom's car. On Fri morning, I didn't get to do much of my morning reading because I got a surge of ass pressure and took a greasy dump. On Wed, when I was setting up my computer for work, I got ass pressure. I went in and took a soft dump. Then when I logged in, I got a 2nd wave of pressure, and had to go in again. A while later, my boss asked me why I was late. I said I had to use the bathroom; I didn't go into details. Today(Sat), I was running a bit late, then fell asleep for a bit, so I didn't get done looking at Nextdoor until about 826pm. I like to start my nap at 8pm. On Thu, I was going to watch the start of Entertainment Tonight. ABC News broke into the normal stuff to talk about shithead getting indicted. I watched the start of ET later. Then I was going to watch Young Sheldon. CBS News stopped their coverage. Then the local news bitch comes on, and says they would cover shit on their 10pm news. This caused me to miss the start of YS. It was one of the episodes I wanted to watch again due to glitching. I was in a bad mood until the 1st commercial break. I was able to watch the parts I missed the first time, but I wanted to watch the whole thing. Earlier tonight(Sun) I went to watch some TMZ online. I spent a long time fucking with my headphones trying to get them to work. I eventually opened each one up, and accidentally broke all the wires off. If they weren't already dead, I killed them. Thankfully, I have the JBL computer speakers I took from work. It took a while to find them, but I did. I have them plugged in right now.
That's pretty much it. I do have a bit of a meal-related issue, which is related to something above. Just wait until later for it.
Now for the food.
Sun: I finished the salami.
My meal was something I've had before. I had a can of Pringles. They were the Scorchin' Sour Cream & Onion. They were good. I had a bag of Chex Mix. It was Sour Cream and Onion. It was good. I had 2 meat items. I took both of them out of the fridge. First was a can of ALDI Vienna sausages. They were good. I don't think the liquid gooified. I then had a can of store-brand tuna in water. It was good. I also had ~half of an 8oz block of store-brand mozzarella. It was good. I took it out of the fridge a few hrs before I ate.
Mon: I didn't have anything.
Tue: I opened up a new bag of salami.
My first snack was a bag of Tapatio puffs. They were good. I then had a can of Vigo Jumbo Squid In Sunflower And Olive Oil. It was good. I took it off the shelf. Then I had a bag of El Sabroso guacamole chips. They were good.
My meal was fried rice and veggies, using ~8oz of store-brand California blend. I cooked it using the healthy method. It was ok plain and with my 3 items.
My meat item was a can of Chicken of the Sea sardines. They were the mustard variety. They were good. I did something different this time. I took them off the shelf instead of the fridge. That's why they tasted better this time. I actually ate these in the morning during work. I didn't eat them after my rice meal. I forget if my stomach felt bad, or if it was because I was tired. This is not what I was referring to above.
Wed: I didn't have anything.
Thu: I had some salami.
I got my meal at Little Caesars. They did have the pretzel crust. I went to the website to see if they still had it. I didn't see it, but I did see they have the thin crust pizza. When I called to place my order, the guy confirmed they didn't have the pc anymore. I got 2 thin crust pizzas.
When it was time to eat, I set the oven to 400F. When the oven was ready, I put the pizzas in for 15 min. The pizzas were good. There was an issue though. As I was eating the 2nd pizza, I felt and/or heard gurgling in my insides. I then had ass pressure. I then had to go taker a dump!!!! That is so fucking annoying! I put the pizza box in the oven while I was attending to my dump, because the oven was still hot. The pizza was warm when I took it out.
Fri: I had some salami.
My first snack was ~half a 10oz bag of Brim's Movie Theater Butter Popcorn. I had it with vegetable oil. It was good. I had it at 1237 during the rebroadcast of one station's 10pm news.
I got my second and third snacks at the hot case of a grocery store, but not the one I usually get stuff at. I almost forgot that that there was an unsanitary incident. Thankfully, all my food was packed up in the plastic containers already. I just had to clean the oyside of the containers when I got home.
My second snack was roasted potatoes with some kind of shredded cheese on them. I also had a container of beef gravy. I warmed them up in the microwave. The potatoes were decent plain, and better with the gravy. When the potatoes were done, I ate the rest of the gravy. I had this at 137am during the rebroadcast of another station's 10pm news.
My third snack was turkey. I also had a container of beef gravy. I warmed them up in the microwave. I had some of the turkey plain, which was good. I had most of the turkey with the gravy, which was good. What I did was to take a couple of slices of turkey, cut them up, then put gravy on them. I repeated until I was done with the turkey. I then ate the rest of the gravy. I had this at 330am during the rebroadcast of TMZ.
Sat: I had some salami.
I had a bag of ALDI croutons. They were the Classic Caesar flavor. They were good. Like last week, I'm putting these under Sat because I had them late. Unlike last week, it doesn't have anything to do with having to take a dump. This was due to dozing off, then trying to get through Nextdoor. This is not what I referred to at the top of my post. That was about having to take a dump while eating my pizza. I'll talk a bit more about this a bit later.
Again, I had my sweet stuff later, due to having the croutons later. I was even later this time due to falling asleep. I'll also talk a bit more later.
For the sweet stuff, I first had one of the Sathers Lemon Drops when I was getting everything together. It was good.
I then started out with cereal and pb. I finished the jar of pb. It was a store-brand creamy honey. It was good.
I had some of the coconut. It was good. I had some of the m&m's Eggs. They were good. I had a store-brand yogurt. It was Blackberry. It was good. I had the last of the Sathers Lemon Drops. It was good.
I also opened up quite a few new things this time. I had some regular and dark chocolate covered almond from the h/n/o store. They were good. I had some graham crackers. They were the cinnamon variety. They were good. I don't know if I tasted the cinnamon. The brand is Crav'n Flavor. It is almost nationwide, but is exclusive to certain grocery chains. I had some Chips Ahoy! cookies. They're in the Chewy category, and are the Hershey's Fudge Filled. They were good. I took them off the shelf. I also opened a box of Little Debbie Strawberry Shortcake Rolls. There is only 1 per package, so that's all I had. It was good. I took it off the shelf.
My "meal" was ~half a 12oz box of Crav'n Flavor oyster crackers. They were good.
I wanted to create a new paragraph to bring something up. My stomach feels a bit funny. That often happens to me hrs after I have pretzels as a meal. I don't know if I have an issue with wheat products or something. My mom has a gluten intolerance. I can eat Subway, or other fast food sandwiches with no issues.
That's it for the food. I'll be having my Sun meal in a few hrs. It's a meal I've had before, but I'll be using a different component as a substitution, and adding another.
Next weekend is the Juneteenth weekend. I will be having special meals. I'm planning on doing 2 experiments. One will be a meal I've had before, but using a different component. The other will be an experiment in that I will be making/cooking one of the components this time.
It is 153am Mon as I post this. SNL was a repeat of the season premiere(Miles Teller/Kendrick Lamar), which I didn't need to watch. I was on the phone with my mom during the start of it. I was then switching between it and a 1975 movie called Posse. I wanted to see the part with the train on fire. I think the station(GRIT) chopped a bunch of that sequence. I don't know if I saw it unchopped there previously, or on the country music channel called Circle. I then watched Weekend Update. After, I got up to do some stuff, but not getting food ready for later. Maybe I looked at the stuff. I then sat down to type and eat my croutons. I stopped to take my nap at 2. I got up at 3 for the TMZ weekend edition. I was feeling a bit groggy, so I just sat in my chair and watched TMZ. I eventually fell asleep. I woke up at like 412am. I got up and got my food together. I just mostly ate, just doing a tiny amount of typing. I forgot when I got done eating. I then was typing. I think around 630, I got up and put the food stuff away. I then did some other stuff. I then went to take a nap. Because the French Open(called some other fucked up name in the tv listings for some reason) was on, Meet The Press wasn't. I got up at 930am for This Week on ABC. I soon fell asleep. I think I woke up a bit after 1030. I put PBS on to watch Washington Week, but fell asleep. I woke up around 1109am. Due to the PBS pledge drive, the local show wasn't on, but instead, was some guy singing. I did a little bit of reading I'm way behind on, then my normal reading. I think I got done after 2. I then got up and took a big dump. I then sat down and looked at my email. I then looked at Nextdoor, which took a lot longer due to a bunch of "postgasms". I then looked at Yahoo! News while eating the oyster crackers. I then did some other stuff, including fucking up my headphones. I went to take my nap at 7pm. I got up at 9. I was then looking for my speakers, and found them. I then hooked up the speakers, then restarted the computer. I watched the parts of TMZ I tried to earlier. I then checked my email, then looked at YN. At 10, I called my mom. I was done after 1030. I then put WW online, and resumed typing. I now have Face The Nation on. I stopped after that was over to get a food item ready for later, and read stuff on TJRWrestling. I resumed typing when the rebraodcast of the TMZ weekend edition came on at 1am.
This week, former WWF wrestler The Iron Sheik died. Because of the Middle East shit going on at the time, he is probably one of the most-hated wrestling bad guys. I don't know what kind of person he was outside the ring. Also, the guy known as the Unibomber died. Good. It sounds like he killed himself. No big loss. Also, religious nut and one-time pres candidate Pat Robertson died. It sounded like he was getting senile. The one local radio morning show would play clips of his where he would say some nutty shit. Like I said at the beginning, Cheeto Jesus got indicted for the classified shit he possessed. I hope none of his cult members are on the jury, and he gets convicted. It sounds like he was very corrupt even before he was president. I wanted to complain about Nextdoor, more specifically, the members. I used the term postgasm above. I don't know if I came up with that myself, or someone else did. What I mean by that is there'll be a thread with some posts. Then the next day, I come back, and there are a fuckton. That is annoying when there are a bunch like that, and it takes so much fucking time.
Since I have an hr while the TMZ weekend edition is on, I guess I can talk about Taiwan. I think about 100 yrs ago, a bunch of people went there during a revolution in China. I don't know what China's issue with Taiwan is. Don't they have enough land and people already. They are also an economic superpower. Are they like these right-wing idiots who aren't happy unless others are miserable? Look what China did to Hong Kong. HK was supposed to be somewhat autonomous, but China still took a huge dump on them. I wish there was some way the UK could get HK back. If China ever did something like the USSR did with Glasnost, and renounced the dictatorship, Taiwan would prob rejoin China. If China tries to take over Taiwan, that would prob start a war with the US. In that case, the people of China would prob revolt against the gov and military. Also, the citizens want revenge for Tiananmen Square. I don't know what the Triad, and/or other organized crime groups would do, except that they will look out for their own best interests. Also, for a supposedly strong country, they are very thin-skinned when it comes to Taiwan. If someone mentions it, they start whining about it. It reminds me of the Knights who Say Ni from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
I guess that's all. I should be back next week, but prob even later.

Hello. It is 1203am as I start this. It was another shitty week. I can't remember everything. One thing is that the fruit flies are back, and so are the regular flies. On Thu, before I went out to get my meal and shop, I had to get rid of a fly. Then, when I was out, a fucking fly was in my car. It took me a few times to open the doors before the fucking retarded thing would leave. I also tried spraying it, and it wouldn't die. I recall having to kill a second one before leaving on Fri. I had meal issues on those days, which I will get to later. I'm still having to clean the cat's litterbox. On the way over there, I was trying to pass a truck. There was not enough room. I started slowing down. The shitbox slammed on his brakes. I even saw tire smoke. Thankfully, I didn't hit him. When I went around him, he flipped me off. I responded in kind. He looked like some scraggily Ethiopian or Haitian. After I got to my parents's house, I had more to deal with. My dad takes care of his cc bill online, along with ordering from Chewy for the cat. My dad wanted me to pay the cc bill online. The problem is, he didn't recall the username. He has a book where he writes that shit down, but it's illegible. I just went home. My parents were able to take care of stuff over the phone.
On Thu, I started using a new spray bottle. On Sun(6/18), I finally opened up the new package of tp I bought in Feb.
I guess I can get to the food now.
Sun: I finished the salami.
This was a meal I've had before. I had a can of Duetsche Kuche Herring Fillets in Mango Pepper Sauce. It was good. I took it out of the fridge. I had ~half an 8oz block of store-brand mozzarella. It was good. I took it out of the fridge a few hrs before I ate. My third item was something new in relation to this meal. It was a box of Cheez-it crackers. They were the Italian Four Cheese variety. They were good.
Mon: I had nothing.
Tue: My first snack was a bag of DK Potato Sticks. They were the Hash Brown Style flavor. They were good. My second snack was a Tijuana Mama pickled sausage. It was good. My last snack was a bag of Bugles. They were the Hidden Valley Ranch variety. They were good.
Before I discuss my meal, I want to mention that I did a bit of an experiment. I'll mention that aspect in a min.
My meal was fried rice and veggies using ~8oz of store-brand California Blend. I cooked it using the healthy method. It was ok plain and with my 3 items.
My meat item was a can of Chicken of the Sea sardines in oil. This time, I took them off the shelf. They were good. If you remember last week, I also did the same thing with the mustard ones last week, and they were good. Apparently, CotS sardines taste better of the shelf than from the fridge. I actually ate the sardines while I was working on Wed morning.
Ok, now for the experiment. It seems for previous meals, the combination of the meal and the snacks give me the burps. I figured it was because I'm eating too much. What I did this time was before I ate, I put some of the rice/veg mix in a container, and put it in the fridge. I would eat it on Wed.
Wed: I had the mix I had put in the fridge previously. I didn't heat it up, nor let it sit out to warm up; I just had it cold. It was very good! Even plain, it was a lot better than it room temp/warm the night before. I tried my 3 items; alone, no combos. The hot sauce was ok. The black pepper was good. The soy sauce was very good. These were also better than their warmer counterparts. It tasted so good, in fact, I'm thinking of making my meals on Mon, then just taking them out of the fridge on Tue. I'm also thinking of still also splitting the mix up, and saving some for Wed.
Thu: I had a snack. It was a can of Northern Catch smoked oysters in oil. They were good. I took them off the shelf.
My original plan for my meal was using coupons to get most of it, and get something else. And also get a specific snack item. That changed when there was a commercial for one of the main grocery chains. They were doing a 1 day sale where the Asian meals were bogo.
I wanted to get both meals with sweet and sour chicken with no sauce. I usually have these with noodles. When I got to the store, they were out of noodles. I got both with fried rice. They each also come with an eggroll or crab rangoon. I got a cr for both. The meals were good, and the cr were both good.
I also got 2 bowls of soup. One was egg drop, and the other was hot and sour. They were both good. They didn't give me any wonton strips to put in the soup, and I forgot to ask.
Feeling that wasn't enough, I used a coupon at a nearby Subway, and got a sandwich. I did a redo of The Great Garlic with flatbread. I got the provolone on it, which was the original cheese. It was good. I can consider it done.
I also went to a store from the other main chain, and got a container of meatballs in gravy. They were good.
I warmed everything up in the microwave before I ate. I was able to finish everything. I was full, and had some stomach pain.
Fri: This was the first meal of the Juneteenth weekend.
My original plan was to get a big container of egg salad at the cold case of the store I usually go to on Fri. I called ahead to ask what was in the hot case. I also asked about the es. I've mentioned previously that sometimes it looks dried out. The guy said something about that's just the way it is, and I could add mustard/mayo myself. When I got there, the es was dried out, so I didn't get any. The other part of my plan was to get a big container of tortellini salad. I still did that. If there was good es, there was another issue. There were 2 meat items I wanted to get. They had breaded shrimp. There is a sale on chicken tenders, and they had plenty this time. Due to the no es, that made things a bit easier. I got all the shrimp. I also got some chicken tenders. They had regular and spicy, so I got the spicy ones. When it was time to eat, I warmed up the ct and shrimp.
The ts was good. The ct weren't bad. I can't recall if there was any spicniness or heat. There was an issue with the shrimp. Most of it was rubbery/tough. There were some soft ones though. This did not give me a positive experience with the shrimp, even though I didn't have issues before.
Sat: This was basically another ALDI meal, but it wasn't intentional.
The main part of my meal was a bag of everything bagels. I did an experiment in what I put on them. I used a 15oz container of Happy Farms whole milk ricotta cheese. I took it right out of the fridge. I dumped the rc out onto an old cut open Doritos bag so I could try to divide it up into 12(for each bagel half). I tried a bit of the rc by itself, and it was good. As for the rc with the bagels, it was ok. I didn't really taste the rc, if at all.
My meat item was a can of NC salmon. It was good. I took it off the shelf.
I had a jar of Specially Selected Herb Cheese Stuffed Peppers. They were good. I took it off the shelf.
I had a can of black olives from Dollar Tree. They were good. I took them out of the fridge.
That's it for the food. My meal tonight is an experiment in that I'll be making one of the components.
Mon will be the last of the Juneteenth weekend meals. I'm planning on having something I've had before.
It is 1144pm Sun as I post this. SNL was the Brendon Gleeson/Willow episode. It came on a few min after 1030 because golf ran over earlier. After I was done with my mom on the phone, I think I was looking at Yahoo! News. I was also watching some other stuff on tv. I did watch Weekend Update. I watched some of Beny Hill after. I think I was also doing some stuff in the kitchen. I then sat down to type. Around 2am, I got up to try to kill a bug flying around. I sat down and typed some more. At 3, I got up and got my food to eat during the weekend edition of TMZ. I did not type while eating. I got done around 430, but don't recall if before or after. I then was watching tv. I dozed off, and woke up quite a bit after 5. I got up and put some of the food items away. I was going to watch tv, and watch the beginning of Good Morning America, and the NBC affiliate's local news. Then I was going to sleep in my bed. Again, I dozed off. I woke up after 6. I went in to my bed to sleep. I got up for 9 for Meet The Press. I was groggy, and fell asleep right away. I did the wake up/fall asleep thing. I finally woke up around 1pm. I did some reading. I then started typing again while "watching" the local show and MTP online. When MTP was over, I did some reading for a few min. I then got up and took another dump. I then looked at my email, then Nextdoor. I then looked at some other stuff, then took a nap at 7pm. I got up at 9. I watched the news and restarted my computer. I then looked at YN for a while. Around 930, I called my mom. I got off the phone a bit after 10. I then watched the news, and looked at YN some more. I then got up to get some stuff ready for my meal later. I then put Face The Nation on the computer, and resumed typing.
Now here is where I talk about other stuff. This week, the Marmalade Messiah was formally arrested and charged. Of course, all his cult members are crying about it. And then, the other GOP politicians are doing it too, because they are spineless, and don't want to upset the sensitive red hat retard brigade. Even Mike Pence is stuck to Trump's fat ass like a lamprey. The only guy with balls is former NJ governor Chris Christie. Also, I will give a shout out to former Trump admin members Robert Barr and John Bolton for calling out Donny's bullshit. In local news, there are rumors the MO governor is going to pardon a cop convicted of manslaughter. Good. It was just one of those amplified cases because the cop is white, and the dead guy is black. I think I talked about this when the stuff was going on. I think the only famous person that died this week was Treat Williams. I knew his name, but can't recall watching stuff he was in. I haven't looked up all his acting credits.
I guess that is all I have for this week. I should be back next week.

Hello. It is 1249am as I start this. It was another shitty week. I think I got another fly in my car. A lot of shittiness was due to sleeping. Doing it when I didn't want to, and not doing it when I want to. A few are food-related, and I'll mention them then. I fell asleep during Smackdown, during the Rey Mysterio/LA Knight match. I woke up about an hr later. I saw later online that Liv Morgan returned. She's cute, so I would've liked to have seen that. I'm still on litterbox duty, since my dad is still in the phys rehab. On Thu night, the area between my middle and ring fingers on my left hand started itching, and feeling warm. It spread to the areas between my other fingers. I was scratching a lot. It also got a bit on my palm, and the top of my hand. My right forearm was itching for a min, then stopped. The itching on my left hand decreased enough that I could ignore it. Also, starting Thu night, I've had a continuous case of the burps. From after 330am-7pm Fri, I took 6 dumps. I did the first 2 outside my front door, because it was dark, and I didn't want any splashback from the toilet. Also, since they are watery, nothing shows up. I was wrong for the first one. There was "sludge". When I looked out later, I could see it on the grass. Later, I could see there were flies all over it. I was not going to be a concern, since the tv weather people said it was going to rain. Then they decreased the chances of it happening. It didn't rain at all. I saw the flies on it on Sat also. I can't recall the other stuff that happened this week. I do remember another thing. There have been a bunch of postgasms on Nextdoor. This makes it take a fucking long time to look at the site.
Since it's getting late, I'm not going to talk about the bird nest.
This week, during work, I got an email from the guy in the cubicle next to me saying someone delivered a package to my cubicle. A few hrs ago, I drove over to the office. I cleaned my cubicle a bit. I then opened the package. It was a new headset. I also got an email saying there were packages waiting for me in the mail room. Previously, I was told my headset was probably there. I was waiting for my anniversary plague to come back. I don't know if the package that was delivered was one of the ones I was told about. I'm going to email one of the people and have them check what is there.
There was also some good news. I went to a garage, and asked the guy if he had any spare lug nuts. He gave me 2. I offered to give him $2, but he wouldn't take it. I thanked him a few times. Sat, I put in on, replacing the chewed up one.
I guess I'll get to the food now.
Sun: This was an experiment. I made pizza. All but one of the components came from the same grocery chain. For the crust, I used a bag of store-brand pizza dough mix. The instructions said to add ½ cup of water warmed to between 120-130F. I put the water in my measuring cup, then put it in the microwave. I used the thermometer, and it looked like it said 125F. I dumped it in with the mix, and stirred it up. It was very dry, so I added a bit more water. I didn't heat it up. I was able to mix it up. The instructions then said to form the dough into a ball, and coat it with vegetable oil. It was too sticky to form into a ball, so I just kept it as a blob. I rubbed some veg oil on it. The instructions said to let it sit for 5 min. I let it set longer. I don't think it increased in size any. I put some veg oil on the cookie sheet. I then dumped the dough onto it. It was still sticky, so I put some flour on my fingers. I spread the dough out. I wasn't able to cover the whole sheet, and the dough was thin as fuck. I then put it in the oven for 5 min. I then took it out. I then spread on a can of store-brand pizza sauce. I ate some , which was good. I also ate the little bit that was left in the can. I then spread on an 8oz bag of the chain's budget brand imitation mozzarella. I then spread on an 8oz bag of store-brand mozzarella. For meat, I used 2 3oz bags of store- brand peperoni. Even though that doesn't sound like a lot, it is. I basically covered the whole pizza with the first bag. If I had known that, I would've used one bag after the sauce and before the cheese. The last item was some pieces of onion I had cut up. I then put it in the oven.
The pizza came out fine. It was just a tiny bit burnt on the edges, but that's ok. The crust was extremely thin.. As for the taste, it was ok. I think I was tired, so my brain wasn't activating my taste buds. I'm not sure if I would make this meal again.
Mon: This was the last meal of the Juneteenth weekend. I had 6 packages of Maruchan Ramen Noodle Soup. They were the Beef flavor. They were good. When I was done, I was full, but not stuffed.
Tue: I didn't have anything.
Wed: I had some shredded wheat with oil from the jar of ALDI garlic stuffed peppers.
I opened a new package of ALDI salami.
I had 3 snacks. First was a bag of the Tapatio puffs. They were good. I then had a can of Vigo Mussels In Marinade Sauce. They were good. I took them off the shelf. My third snack was a bag of Walmart funyuns. They were good.
My meal was originally going to be just snack items. That changed when I went to ALDI earlier that day. I'll get back to that in a min.
I had a bag of Fieras takis. They were the Chili & Lime variety, of course. They were good. I used some Belfonte sour cream with some of them, which was good. I just used a little of the sc.
I went to the ALDI I usually visit on Mon. Right inside the door are refrigerated shelves where they have pizzas. This timer, there was also a package of eggrolls. It looked like they had a clearance price. I compared them with the frozen ones, and these had a cheaper per ounce price, so I bought them. When it was time to eat, I warmed them up in the microwave. They were pork. They were good. Besides plain, I also used some ALDI soy sauce with them. That was ok. Maybe I should've used on of the Lee Kum Kee packets I have in the fridge.
I almost forgot to mention that this meal was delayed because I had fallen asleep earlier. I think I got done around 6am.
Thu: I had some shredded wheat with oil from the jar of ALDI garlic stuffed peppers, and from the jar of herb stuffed peppers.
I had some salami.
I got my snack from Church's Chicken. They have the Bourbon Black Pepper Smokehouse chicken meal. I got that. For my side, I got the spicy rice. When it was time for me to eat, I warmed the stuff up in the microwave. The biscuit was good. This was the first time I've had the spicy rice. It was very good. The chicken itself was very good. I'm actually almost close to deciding to have this again for next Thu's snack.
For my meal, I went to 2 places.
The first item I had was from Popeyes. It was a Blackened Chicken Sandwich. There is a choice between regular and spicy. I got the regular this time. I warmed it up in the microwave. It was very good. I'm going to try the spicy one next time.
I got the other stuff at Arby's. I had 2 2/$8 coupons for the French Dip & Swiss sandwiches, for a total of 4. The price has increased again. I warmed them up in the microwave. They were good. There was one issue, and a potential issue. When the worker was filling the juice containers, it looked like there wasn't going to be enough. I dunked the first 2, but there was enough to soak the last 2. The actual issue was that the sandwiches were not cut in half. I did not know that until I had sat down to eat. If had known before, I would've either cut them before I sat down, or brought one of my big knives in with me while I ate. What I did do was use the knife on my Chinese leatherman tool copy to cut the sandwiches. I didn't cut the third one, just to see what it would be like to eat it that way. It was a bit more cumbersome, but didn't cause any problems.
There was another issue that was not related to meal, which I alluded to above. After I finished the third sandwich, I had to go and take a dump. Then when I was done eating, I had to take another dump. About an hr before it was time for me to get up, I woke up. My stomach was bloated, and it kept me from falling back asleep. I then got ass pressure, and had to take yet another dump. I sat back down around 719am, giving me only 11 min, before my alarm went off, then 9 min after the snooze bar. I hit it an extra time too. If I didn't, I did on Wed instead.
Fri: I had some shredded wheat with oil from the jar of ALDI herb stuffed peppers. I also had some salami. I had these at 1237 during the rebroadcast of one station's 10pm news. I would usually have these earlier, but I wanted to wait due to my digestive system issues. Also, I didn't get anything from a restaurant or grocery store hot case, because I didn't have to do any shopping. I just had to do the litterbox after work.
My first snack was a box of Hot Pockets. There are 2 in a box. They were the Philly Cheesesteak with Seasoned Crust. I cooked them in the microwave. They were ok. The problem with these is when they are done, they are burning hot. Then a bit later, They are room temperature on the outside, but the filling is still boiling hot. You kind of can't taste anything. I had these at 330am during the rebroadcast of TMZ.
You may be wondering where the popcorn is. After I had the salami and shredded wheat, I fell asleep. I woke up close to the time I go in my room and take a nap. That's what I did.
My next snack was ~half a 10oz bag of Brim's Movie Theater Butter Popcorn. I had it with vegetable oil. It was good. I think I had this around noon.
My last snack was a bag of ALDI croutons. They were the Seasoned Garlic variety. They were good. I had them after 730pm.
Sat: I had my sweet stuff. I started with cereal and a new jar of pb.
I think I basically had the same stuff as last time, so I'll just c/p with a few edits. I finished the coconut. It was good. I had some of the m&m's Eggs. They were good. I had a store-brand yogurt. It was Cherry Vanilla. It was good. I had some regular and dark chocolate covered almond from the h/n/o store. They were good. I had some of the cinnamon graham crackers. They were good. I had some Chips Ahoy! Chewy Hershey's Fudge Filled. They were good. I also had a package of Little Debbie Strawberry Shortcake Rolls. There is only 1 per package. It was good. I took this, and the cookies, out of the fridge.
I had some shredded wheat with oil from the jar of herb stuffed peppers, mixed with the little bit left from the garlic ones.
I had some salami.
My meal was ~half a box of oyster crackers. They were good.
I'll have my meal in a few hrs. It's stuff I've had before, including a new variation of one item.
Next weekend is the 4th of July weekend. I took Monday off, so I'll have 4 days. Unless there is stuff in ads, I've pretty much planned what I'm having all the days. One meal will be an experiment, and another will be a variation of another experiment.
It's 1am Mon as I post this. SNL was the Megan Thee Stallion host/music episode. I originally planned to go to the office after Weekend Update. The USFL game ran way over, including overtime. I decided to get my mom off the phone, and left a bit after 1030pm. Like I said above, I cleaned my cubicle, and found the package was a headset. I then went home. Since I wanted to be home for WU, I went straight home. It was quite a while between me getting home and when WU came on. If I had known that, I would've driven past the Virtual Railfan site Santa Fe Junction, and probably the relatively close one and/or some place I'm thinking of going on Thu to get part of my meal. At home, I undressed, then got my food ready for later. I may have taken a dump. I then sat down to start typing. I know some time between 1 and 2am, I took a dump. I think I just sat and watched the end of Barney Miller. I then went and took my 2am nap. I got up for 3 for the TMZ weekend edition. I got my food and sat down. I did more eating than typing. I got done eating around 4. I then was typing. I'm thinking I took a dump a bit after 530, but I'm not 100% sure. I may have dozed off instead. Around 642, I did take a dump. Since I thought it was going to be water, I did it in the tub. Like Thu morning, I was wrong. It was the soft stuff. I spent quite a while trying to rinse out the tub. I finally sat down at my computer around 750. I did some stuff for a few min, then took my 8am nap. I got up for 9 for MTP. I was groggy, and eventually fell asleep. I woke up at 1042 during Washington Week. I watched it at 4am, so it wasn't a big deal that I missed part of it. I watched the rest of WW, then the local show. I don't think I did any typing. A bit after 1130, I did my reading. I forget the order I did some of the next stuff. I think I "watched" MTP online while typing. Then I took another dump, which was more solid than the previous ones. I also pretty much cleaned the poo out of the tub. I then looked at my email, then Nextdoor. At 7pm, I went to bed. I woke up for 9. I watched the news for a bit. I then called my mom. I think I was done with her around 953. I then watched the 10pm news. I switched over to another station that doesn't go right ro sports at 1030. I was then balancing my checkbook. I was listen to George Harrison stuff while doing part of it, then paying bills. I then switched over to Face The Nation while doing bills, then typing. I'm still typing after FTN, so I have The Goldbergs on.
I think the main news thing of importance that happened this week was yesterday. That was the potential revolt by The Wagner Group against Russia. They were 120 miles from Moscow. On FTN, they talked about how the leader of TWG is an evil bastard in his own right. But, maybe if he had gotten rid of Putin, the Ukraine war would be over. I don't know if he is also a homophobe, or would get rid of those laws. He seems more money-driven, so maybe he would make reforms to put Russia in a better light, and increase tourism. There was also the saga of the Titanic explorer sub. It sucks they died, but for the owner, if the sub was of dubious quality, it was a bit ok karma. The only other thing I'll say is that I wouldn't do that shit. Then there was the walking FOX News talking point, Hunter Biden. Even though he plead guilty to shit, the Retardicans can't let it go. Maybe we should audit them, because I doubt all of them are 100% honest when it comes to taxes. They are also trying to tie Hunter to his dad. They can't believe nothing happened. Sounds like a bit of projection. It would be like saying since Kellyanne Conway's daughter is on OnlyFans, KC is also doing porn. She has a nice body, but her face makes her look like she rides a broom.
I'm done for this week. I should be back next week, albeit prob later.

Hello, it is 1125pm Sat as I start this. It has been another shitty week. On Wed night, I took(or tried) to take a nap. I got up at 1am for Inside Edition, and go on Nextdoor. I fell asleep, and woke up around 320am. I looked at Nd, then went to sleep late. Speaking of Nd, I fell asleep for a bit while looking at it today. Not very long. It took around 3 hrs to look at it. Mostly because of massive postgasms, especially about fireworks. I'll get to that later. On Thu, I was getting my food. I got back on the Interstate. I went into the left lane. Some retard in a white Ford Fusion apparently was offended I got in front of him. He was right on my bumper. The traffic thinned out, and I was able to accelerate away from him. He then accelerated to get on my bumper again. I then got in the right lane to exit. There was a car in front of me. This idiot got in front of the car, and exited past where the exit lane is painted. Well, that's the best way I can describe it. I didn't exit there. I'll explain where I went later, because it is meal-related.
On Fri, I was gassy. I could feel there was poo in my colon. I was careful about farting. When I was working(at home), I tried to fart. It felt funny. I put my finger in my crack. It was slimy. I got up, and took a slimy dump. Unfortunately, when I tried to fart, I got a bit of shit on the chair cushion, and on my hooded sweatshirt, which I've been sitting on. After I took my dump, I cleaned off the other poo. Later, I was feeling gassy again, and felt poo in my colon. I was hoping to take my lunch break around 330pm to take a dump, because I was going out after work. My chat session ran way over. It was getting close to 4, which is when I call my mom. I got done, I was able to take another slimy dump, and got done before 4. When I was getting dressed, I was cutting a bunch of big farts.
There was something else on Thu, but it is related to one of next week's meal, so I'll post it then. There was also something related on Fri, which I'll also save for next week.
I told you earlier this year about how I took out my passenger side mirror when I hit the protective post. I have to rewind further back. When I was moving my shit from my family's house to mine, I hit that mirror on the side of the garage door opening when I was backing in. The only real damage was the actual mirror cracked. I went to Walmart and got a replacement mirror. There were pieces of foam that were sticky on both sides so I could just stick the new mirror on top of the old mirror. On Fri, when I was going shopping, I was on the Interstate. I saw the mirror housing flip up. It looked like the mirror glass was stuck to the duct tape I used to try to put the mirror back back on the side of the car. After I visited the first store, I was in the parking lot. I saw the sticky foam. Since I didn't take a close look, I thought the replacement mirror had cracked in half and folded over. After I cleaned the litterbox, I took a closer look. The new mirror was totally gone. What I saw earlier was half of the old mirror.
There were 2 good things. One was my 20th anniversary plaque came back. Someone brought it to my desk. There is also something related to next week's meal, which again, I'll save for next time.
Now I can get to the food.
Sun: I finished the salami.
The main part of my meal was 2 cans of store-brand chunky minestrone soup. It was good. I had a bag of Clancy's wavy potato chips. They were Turkey Stuffing flavor. They were ok. There was some kind of flavor, but I don't recall it tasting like turkey or stuffing. I had some plain, but had most with Belfonte sour cream. The chips with sc were good. The sc was the one I opened on 6/21.
Mon: I made my Tue meal on Mon. I did a bit of prep-related nibbling. That was the only stuff I ate that day.
Tue: I opened a new bag of salami.
My first snack was a can of ALDI fried onions. They were good. I then had a can of ALDI Vienna sausages. They were good. I took them out of the fridge. I then had a bag of Brim's fiery hot cheetos. They were good.
My meal was fried rice and veggies, using ~8oz of store-brand stir fry blend. I cooked it using the healthy method. Like I said above, I cooked it Mon, so I could eat it from the fridge Tue. I also put some of it in another container to save for Wed. It was good plain and with my 3 items.
My meat item was a can of Chicken of the Sea sardines in mustard. They were good. I took them off the shelf.
Wed: I had the rest of the rice veggie mix I had set aside to eat this day. It was good plain and with my 3 items, but no combos.
Thu: I had some salami.
I got my snack at Chruch's Chicken. It was the same thing as last week, so go read that.
I got one of the parts of my meal at Arby's. Before I continue the story, I have to rewind. I first went to an Arby's right off the Interstate. When I pulled into the parking lot, there was an old guy going in. There were also a pair of teenagers crossing the parking lot. I saw them go in. I didn't want to wait behind 3 people, so that's why I left. That's when I got back on the Interstate, and encountered the dumbass. Let me continue the story I started above. Since the fucker had exited there, I didn't want to be behind him, so I took the second exit after that one. I was going to go to the Arby's way north of the one I intended to go to. When I actually got to the highway, the traffic was all backed up. I got off at the next exit. I went over to the one I intended to go to.
I got the two wraps they have. They were not marked. I don't think I microwaved them. The first was the Crispy Buffalo Chicken Wrap. It was good. There was no heat. The second was the Crispy Chicken Club Wrap. It was good.
I got the rest of my meal at Jimmy John's. I got their 3 Summer Wraps. I think the order I had them in was: Jalapeno Ranch Chicken Wrap Chicken Caesar Wrap Thai Chicken Wrap The wrappers weren't marked, but I think that's the order due to components I remember. The first 2 were good. The last wasn't as much, since all the liquid inside made it a bit soggy. If I had known that, I would've had it first. If they were marked, the order I would've had them in was 3, 1, 2. The main negative was the cost. They were $9.49 each!!!! These were just a one time thing, so I prob wasn't going to have them again anyway. The Arby's ones were a bit cheaper, but not by much. I thing they were like $6.89.
There was another issue with my meal. When I started eating the Thai, I got digestive sys rumbling. When I was half done, I went in to take a very greasy shit. I was standing up, and without thinking, I tried to fart. Some shit oozed out. A little got on my leg, and some more got on the back of my shoe. I forget if this happened before or after I wiped. After cleaning up, I sat back down and ate the rest of the wrap.
Fri: This was the first meal of the 4th of July weekend.
I had 2 items. One was seafood salad. it was good.
I went to the grocery store at the edge of the hood for the seafood salad. I went to the seafood counter. The overhead lights were off, but the lights in the counter itself were on. It wasn't 5pm yet. I was standing around. I told a worker, who actually works in that store's deli, what was going on. She was trying to find someone. A manager came up, and told me he was looking for someone. Finally, the guy showed up. He said he was in the bathroom. Hopefully he washed his hands.
The other item was egg salad. There is a bit of a story to that one.
I first went to the store I usually go to on Fri, where I sometimes get egg salad. Like for the Juneteenth holiday Fri, the es looked like dried out shit. I went to the nearby grocery store from the other major chain. I got my es there. As for the taste, it was good. There is a bit of a negative. When they make it, they do it a bit lazy. They just slice the eggs, and pull the yolk parts out. This means there are a lot of big pieces of white. At the store I usually go to, the white parts are nicely chopped up. That also gives a more even flavor.
Sat: This was an experiment. When I bought my corned beef for corned beef and cabbage for around St. Patrick's Day, I bought a second, smaller one. They were both the point cut. This one was 1.67 lbs. I cooked it in the oven. The instructions said to place it on a baking rack and put that in the baking vessel, then fill with 1 in of water. I don't have a rack. I used my small casserole dish. I coated the inside with vegetable oil. I cut the cb package open and dumped the liquid in. I then put the cb itself in. I had it sit diagonally, because it was a better fit. I cut open the spice packet, and dumped it on top of the cb. I then put in some store-brand beef broth from a can I opened. I put cabbage in the broth beside the cb. I cut onion slices and put them on top of the cb. I then covered the dish with foil and put it in the oven(at 350F). The instructions said to bake at 50 min/lb. That was at total of 83.5 min. I rounded that to 84. After 42 min, I opened the oven and turned the dish 180 deg. After 32 min, i took the foil off, and raised the oven to 375F. After 10 min, I took the dish out. I tried to scoop all the cabbage out and put on my plate. I then took the cb, with onions still on top, and put on my plate. I loosely covered it with the foil.
While the cb was baking, I took the small double-boiler pan, and put oil and flour in. I stirred it on the stove, with the burner to maybe 3. When it kind of dried out, I took it off the burner. After the cb was done, I put the pan back on the burner, and dumped the liquid from the casserole dish in. I also put the rest of the beef broth in(I had taken a few sips, which were good). I turned on the burner, and stirred it up. It thickened into a gravy.
While I was cooking the gravy, I set the oven to 400F. When it was ready, I put in the 6 sub rolls I got from Walmart. I heated them up for 10 min.
When it was time to eat, I cut off a small piece of cb and ate it. It was good. I sliced the rolls in half when I made my sandwiches with them. The cb was easier to slice than I anticipated. Besides the cabbage, onion, and gravy, I also had regular mustard and discount brand horseradish mustard. I made a list of what I had on each sandwich: half plain/half gravy reg mustard on all, 1/3 plain/1/3 onion/1/3 cabbage horseradish mustard on all, 1/3 plain/1/3 cabbage/1/3 onion 1/3 plain/1/3 cabbage/1/3 onion gravy gravy As for the taste, they were ok. I had that issue where I couldn't really taste anything. There was an issue with the last sandwich. The "ass-end" of the cb was tough/gristly/fatty. It was hard to chew it up. That made that last sandwich hard to eat.
After the last sandwich, there was quite a bit of gravy left. I ate it. It was good, but rather salty.
That's it for the food. I will be having my Sun meal later. It'll just be baking stuff.
There's 2 more days left for the 4th of July weekend. I'm planning on making my Mon meal a variation of a previous experiment. Tue is planned as a misc meal with 0 cooking.
It is 103am Mon as I post this. SNL was the Pablo Pascal/Coldplay episode. It came on a bit late due to USFL running past 10pm. After I finished talking with my mom on the phone, I got up and got stuff out of the oven. I forget what else I did before I sat down to start typing. Weekend Update came on after I started typing, and didn't pay close attention to it. I kept typing until 1am, when I got up to start making my meal. I think I sat down to eat at 315am. I think I got done at 4am. I watched Wahington Week. There was some glitching at the end. I then turned on Forged in Fire. I was going to watch the last 30 min, then watch the local news. I fell asleep, and did the wake up/fall asleep thing. I then woke up around 714 am. I put stuff away, then went into my bed to sleep. I got up for 9 for Meet The Press. I started watching it, but fell asleep. I did the wake up/fall asleep thing. I think I finally woke up around 130pm. I then did reading. I then got up to take a dump. I then did some other shit around the house. Around 4, I sat back down and looked at my email, then Nextdoor. At 7pm. I went in and took a nap. I got up at 9. I watched the news a bit, then called my mom. After I got done with her, I went in the kitchen and put away stuff I washed earlier. I then sat down to watch the news. I did my gas bill, then I did my checkbook. I then "watched" Face The Nation online while typing. I then stopped typing to watch the last few min of WW online. I then put on Meet The Press on the computer, and resumed typing. I then put on the local show, but decided to stop it, so I can pay full attention to it.
Here is the last paragraph. There were 2 famous deaths this week. One was Alan Arkin. I can't think of anything I've seen with him. The other was the guy known as the 3rd member of WWE's Legion Of Doom, Droz. I don't remember too much off LOD. The other main news item was the Supreme Court decisions related to college. My college days are long behind me, so I don't really give a fuck. There was something else about gay/religious rights. I kind of know what it's about, but don't feel like discussing it. I mostly wanted to talk about Nextdoor, and the fireworks threads. People are posting asking if people would be courteous and limit the fireworks to the actual 4th. Also, just be done at a reasonable time. And a few people mentioned if people could avoid using the ones that are just huge explosions. Then we get the fuckton of replies from the pro-fireworks people. They are going off like a bunch of shrieking agitated chimpanzees. It doesn't even seem as if they fully read/comprehend the posts they are ranting against, which is a general problem on Nextdoor. They are whining about people wanting to take away the 4th, and "muh freeduuuuuum". All the people were doing was making REASONABLE requests. Are these fireworks people also Trump voters who think being decent human beings is a bad thing? Or maybe also, they are compensating for tiny wieners. I think I'll end with that.
Since I'm not shooting off any fiewworks, I shouldn't not be back due to blowing myself up.
