The day after New Year's, I went around to the pawn shops(for the most part) north of the river. I had the day off, so I wasn't going from work.
The first stop was Alpha Pawn. I think there was less musical equipment this time. There was one Casiaha.
For guitars, there was some model of BC Rich. There was an Epiphone lp. There was a Dean that was like an Epiphone lp special II. There were 2 Washburn guitars. One was an hss superstrat, and the other a v.
For amps, there was a Marshall, that may have been one of those Woburn things. There was a Behringer bass amp. There was a Fender Mustang amp(they have a guitar called a Mustang, which is more common). There was an Ampeg B3 bass amp. There was a Vox miniamp. My notes indicate there might have been a guitar strap hooked up to it(some small amps have strap pegs so you can walk around while playing.
For guns, there was a Russian(or copy) Mosin-Nagant M91/30 rifle.
The next stop was the Riverside pawn shop. I don't recall any guitars there, or at most, 1 or 2 pos. The only amp was a Crate GX-80.
The only other item to note was a shuriken for $5. I finally decided to go back and buy it. I think it was on Feb28. It was gone. The Crate was still there.
I then went to the third out of the way place. For guitars, there were new ones from Sundown and Daisy Rock. I also notated Ibanez, and I'm thinking it/they are new. For amps, the Music Man head was still there. There was a Peavey Special 112 from the '80s. There was a Roland KC series keyboard amp. There was also a new Ampeg amp, but I didn't see if it was for guitar or bass.
I then went to the thrift store that is out of the way, but I occasionally visit because it is near a grocery store I visit, which I actually did. There was a clarinet behind the counter. There was a Lowrey Carnival organ that I played on. I did a decent job covering the intro of the Genesis song Mama.
I then went to the tornado Cash America. In the glass case for effects, there were 2 Zoom multieffects units, a 505 and G5. There was a DOD Juice Box compressor. There was also an Ibanez Soundtank compressor. There was a BOSS AD-5 acoustic instrument preamp. There was also a Tascam US-122 usb audio/midi interface.
I only noted 3 guitars behind the counter: some model of LTD, an Ibanez jazzbox, and a G&L ASAT. I don't remember if that's all there was, or there were other guitars still there from my last visit. There was a clarinet, a trumpet, and a few flutes.
I notated quite a few amps in the main area. There were 3 Fender amps: a Frontman 212R, an acoustic guitar amp, and some model of solid state electric guitar amp. There were 2 Peavey bass amps: a TKO, and another that I didn't see/recall the model. There was a Marshall MG250DFX. There was also one of those Marshall Woburn Bluetooth speakers. There was also a Randy Jackson amp.
For guitars, there were 2 BC Rich Bronze Warlocks, one with an inline headstock, and the other with a Widow headstock. There was also a warlock copy from a brand called Davison. There was some model of Yamaha with only a bridge humbucker; probably an RGX110. There was also some other guitar with just a bridge hb. There was a Crate strat. There was an Austin lp. I either forgot or didn't look if the neck was bolt-on or the authentic set(glued in). There was also an Epiphone sg special. It had 2 hb and 2 knobs.
The next stop was the "strip club" pawn shop
For keyboards, there was what I think was an M-Audio Keystation. There were 2 Rolands: an RD-500, and a KR-75. For amps, there was a Gallien-Krueger Backline 2x10 cab. I don't think it was there before. There were 3 amp items I noted from before: Ampeg head, Peavey pa head, Pignose Hog 20. For guitar effects, there was a Roland VG-8. There was also a BOSS ME-80 multieffects unit. There were also 3 BOSS pedals: a compressor, a tuner, and one from the Loop Station series. There was what I assume was a wah pedal. There was an Electro-Harmonix Neo Clone chorus. There was also a Sadowsky bass preamp pedal.
For guitars, there was an Oscar Schmidt 335, probably a Delta King. There were 3 strats: a Squier, a Mako, and a Yamaha(even though the body was probably not 100% exact). There were 3 Epiphones: an sg with skull fretboard inlays, an sg special with only a bridge position humbucker, and an lp special. There was a Schecter with 2 hb and a fixed bridge. I don't remember how many frets the neck had. There was a Jackson superstrat with 2 hb, 24f, and a whammy bar. There was an Ibanez GiO Mikro. There was another Ibanez with 24f, but my notes indicated some questioning of the pickups. It looks to be either a regular hh, or a hb in the bridge position. My notes say there might also have been an LTD. They also say the pickup issue might have been with that guitar also/instead.
I think after that, I visited the gun store. If not, I just went home.

Hello, I am starting this late at 1:38am. I was going to start at midnight after SNL. It was the Daniel Craig/The Weekend episode I wanted to see again due to weather-related glitching the first time. This time, there was some glitching. But, I fell asleep during TW's second song. I woke up after midnight, and fell back asleep. I woke up after 1am, and sat there until I got up at 120 because I needed to take my pills. I then was slow in getting set up here. What had started this was that My "Fri" meal was very late. I then went to sleep, I think, after 330pm. I set my alarm for 755. I woke up around 530. I tried to go back asleep, to no avail, so I got up at 6.
I was originally going to start off talking about my ticket. I may have some good news on that front. I don't want jinx it, so I'll wait until next week to talk about it. I do have some bad news though. On Mon, I was on my way to ALDI, I got the low tire warning for the right rear tire being 22psi. When I had that issue before, it was actually the left front. This is probably due to having the tires rotated, but not getting that system recalibrated, which I think can be done. I think when I mailed some bill payments, I got out of the car and looked at the tires, and saw the left front looked low. I then stopped at the nearby QuikTrip. I used the air machine and aired the tire up. I did the same thing at another QT on Thu. I hope I can wait until May18 when I have the day off for a dr appointment. You may be wondering how this relates to my ticket. I'm thinking I got something in my tire when I pulled over on the shoulder.
With all that out of the way, it's time for the food.
Sat: The main component of my meal was 3 cans of Kaskey's(store exclusive brand) Chef Boyardee items I got at a discount chain called Save-A-Lot. I had the ravioli, beefaroni, and spaghettios with meatballs. The s'os might have not tasted as good as the ones from ALDI or another chain's name brand. That may have also been true of the beefaroni. The raviolis were good. My snack item was a bag of Lay's potato chips. They were the Fried Green Tomato flavor. I thought they were good. I don't know what fried green tomatoes are supposed to taste like, so I can't say how accurate they are.
Sun: First, I snacked on some cereal, and finished up a jar of peanut butter. It was a jar of Skippy Creamy. It was good.
My meal was half a box of Lil Dutch Girl saltines from ALDI. They were good.
Mon: According to my notes, I didn't have a snack. I think I may have fucked up and put it under Tue. So see Tue for what I may have actually had this day.
My meal was fried rice and veggies using half a bag of broccoli. I also used noodle goo in the pan. My meal was good plain and with my 3 items.
Tue: The snack in question was a bag of Sun Chips. They were the French Onion flavor. They were good.
My meal was fried rice and veggies using half a bag of broccoli. I also used the rest of the noodle goo in the pan. I also used the water I used to rinse it out. My meal was good plain and with my 3 items.
I also had something else with my meal. It was an 8oz package of brown mushrooms from ALDI. I didn't cook them or mix them with my meal mixture. I would cut up pieces and eat them. They were ok. I don't know if there is a difference in flavor between the brown and white. Cook's Illustrated(the magazine behind the shows Cook's Country and America's Test Kitchen) said they taste the same raw, but cooked, brown are better.
Wed: My meal was different this time, which is related to my ticket. I didn't get any reply from my emails, so I was going to call on Thu. This caused me a lot of anxiety. I think I had a panic or anxiety attack. I was naked. The thermostat said it was 69F. I felt cold, especially in my feet, even though my forehead was warm. I started shivering. I put my clothes on. I don't think I felt cold, but was still shivering. I think it was worse than before. I then got a headache. I didn't feel like moving. I also didn't feel like eating. I had already cooked my rice, so I wanted to eat that. I was going to watch News Radio, then get up and make my meal. I fell asleep during it, and woke up at the end. I forget what time I actually got up for my meal.
For my meal, I cooked half a bag of broccoli in the microwave. I then put it and the rice in the pan and mixed them up. I then turned the burner on. I then added and mixed in water and garlic powder. I waited until this got hot. I then took it off the burner to cool off. When I sat down to wait, I think I dozed off for a while. I had the meal plain, with black pepper, garlic powder, and both. It was ok.
I also had my usual can of sardines.
Thu: I made my call, and was felling better. I had 2 snacks. First was a can of Vienna sausages from ALDI. They were good. I had them in the fridge before I ate them. I think the liquid gooified. Later I had a bag of Gourmet Select Puff Corn. It was the Butter variety. It was good.
My meal was fried rice and veggies using half a bag of broccoli. My meal was good plain and with my 3 items.
Fri: My meal was pasta and spinach. I also added something else. Before I cooked the pasta, I cut up an 8oz pkg of brown mushrooms I got at ALDI. I threw it in the pan with some canola oil. When the 'shrooms started turning gray, I took them out of the pan and set them aside. I then cooked the pasta. It was half a 16oz bag of small shells. When that was almost done, I cooked the spinach. Again, I used a package from PictSweet Farms. I set the pkg in the small casserole dish when I cooked it in the microwave. When it was done, I cut the top off(it is cooked face-down), and dumped it into the dish. I then cut the pkg open, and there was a bunch still stuck inside. I scraped off as much as I could, then licked off the rest. After draining the water from the pasta, I mixed in canola oil. I then mixed in the spinach. After that was the mushrooms.
As for the taste, it was good plain. I was able to taste the 'shrooms. I also tried it with my 3 items, both singly and all combos. The pepper and soy sauce were ok to good, while the hot sauce wasn't so good.
I also had a 15oz can of Crown Prince sardines in tomato sauce. They were good. I went to 2 different WM, and they don't have them anymore; they just have the Sol-Mex brand, which is $0.11 more. I think I'm going to visit the WM Market near my house on Thu, but when I looked once, I may have only seen a tag for the SM.
That's it for the food. I didn't have my sweet stuff to snack on. I will be having my meal in a bit. It is 2 things: a snack item, and 1 thing to cook.
It is now1108am. After I started, I took my nap at 2 to get up for 3. Then I was typing until I fell asleep sometime after 6. I think I woke up at 743. I did reading until I went in at 8 to take my other nap. When I got up for 9, I didn't start typing right away because I was looking at stuff on the internet. I resumed typing at 930, reading during the commercials until I turned on Washington Week at 1030. When that was over, I did some reading until 11.
I guess that's all, see you next week.

Hello, I'm starting this on Wed working from home. A little while ago, the network totally crapped out, but came up after a bit.
I wanted to talk about the ticket issue. I did send an email. When I still didn't hear anything, I called in. I talked to a woman who told me to call back on Mon to speak to a supervisor. After that, I got an email from someone else. She said the court wouldn't be open by the 18th. Then she asked if I wanted to do the hearing over Zoom. I said I don't have a cell phone or a computer with a camera. She said there was a dial in option. I chose that, and set my hearing for Mon. The court clerk sent me the login info. I called in and everything. I think the whole process lasted less than 10 min. I was fined $150 + court costs(I think just under $50), which I don't think is that bad. Nobody said anything about points, so I don't know if I got any. I still have to pay the fine. I still need to get my tire looked at, which is still a causing a bit of stress. I don't think I'll do my Fri and/or Sat snacking until it's resolved, but that's just 2 sets, and I might wait after that due to the Mem Day weekend.
With all that out of the way, let's get to the food.
Before I get to this week, I need to add something for last week. For my Fri meal, I do have an unopened container of parmesan cheese I could have used, but didn't feel like opening it.
Now for this week.
Sat: The main part of my meal was 3 cans of store-brand chicken noodle soup. It's like Campbell's where you have to add water. It was good. My snack item was a bag of Lay's potato chips. They were the Limon flavor. I guess they were ok. They did taste like lime. I'd like to try a lemon flavor, but not a sweet version; more the sour/acidity like when you put some on fish. I also had a meat item. It was a 2.5oz pkg of Armour peperoni. It was good.
Sun: Before my "meal", I snacked on a bit of cereal and opened up a new jar of peanut butter.
My meal was a bag of Pepperidge Farm Goldfish pretzels. They were good.
Mon: After the hearing, an work, I got my appetite back.
My snack was a bag of Clancy's(ALDI brand) cheetos. They were the Fiery Hot variety. They were pretty good. They weren't hot, and don't taste like the real thing. Like the store brand from a different chain that was discontinued, I like these for their own flavor, not because they taste like Cheetos.
My meal was fried rice and veggies using half a bag of green beans. I also used some of the pasta goo. That should have been the end of it. Unfortunately, I had a brain fart and dumped a ton of red pepper flakes in during the 2nd round. I scooped up a bunch, intending to dump them back in the container, but I could feel they were already damp from. I had forgotten that I had a small empty container in the fridge I could have used to put them(and any more I could have scooped out) in to use for subsequent times. I just decided to keep them in the pan. I figured it wouldn't be that bad. It WAS that bad. When I was eating my meal, my mouth was burning. My eyes were watering, and my nose was running. Also, my chest was hurting. I couldn't wait to get done. When I was done, I don't recall if my stomach was queasy.
I need to mention my meat item even though it was a regular can of ALDI sardines. In another post(not looking myself), I mentioned how I alternate between hot sauce or mustard and oil. This was a hot sauce day, and I had already put one in the fridge. When I was done with my meal, I didn't think I should eat even more hot stuff. I took an oil variety out of the cabinet and put it in the freezer. I also put my water bottle in there. I sat down for a few minutes. When my mouth stopped burning, I went to get both. The sardines didn't really get cold. They were ok.
I ate very late. First, I had dozed off. I didn't start cooking until around midnight. Then, when I was done cooking, it seemed to take forever for the pan to cool down.
Regarding the red pepper, I got off relatively easy. After eating, I slept for a few hours. I then got up. Less than an hour after that, I started feeling colonic discomfort. I went in and took a soft dump. It did burn coming out, and made my butthole feel like it would be visible on a thermal imaging camera. When I was wiping, there were red pepper flakes on the tp. I didn't have to go later at all, even though I was getting that feeling. A few times when I went pee, it burned coming out.
Tue My meal was fried rice with veggies using half a bag of green beans. I added some of the pasta goo. Due to the events of the previous night, I didn't feel like adding hot stuff to the pan. I didn't add hot sauce, cayenne pepper, or the red pepper flakes. I did add some mustard though. Even though I've had containers open for a while, I don't want to use it up in my meal mixes. The avoiding hot stuff also extended to the actual meal. I only used black pepper and soy sauce while eating. The meal was good plain and with the black pepper and/or soy sauce.
My meat item was the hot sauce sardines I didn't eat on Mon. They were good.
Wed: I had a snack. It was a bag of Mac's pork rinds. They were the Salt & Pepper variety. They were ok. I don't recall them tasting like salt and/or pepper. The "dust" at the bottom of the bag had a nice flavor.
My meal was fried rice and veggies using half a bag of green beans. I added some of the pasta goo. It was good plain and with my 3 items.
My meat Item was a can of ALDI sardines in hot sauce. I had the same thing the night before, but I wanted to put the schedule back to normal. I could have waited until Mon, but I didn't want to.
Thu: I had 2 snacks. First was a bag of store-brand of popcorn puffs. They were good. Later, I had a 10oz can of generic brand chunk chicken breast. It was good. I consider the chicken additional stress eating, which I'll get to down below.
I got me meal at Little Caesars. I got a Peperoni Cheeser Cheeser pizza. They're supposed to have them as part of the Hot-N-Ready deal. They didn't have any, so I had to wait outside, and they would bring me my stuff. I also wanted to get an order of Cheese Bread. I fucked up and said Crazy Bread. I didn't realize my mistake until I was waiting for my stuff. I thought I saw a worker do something unsanitary, so when I got home, I cleaned off the box and bag. When it was time to eat, I set the oven to 385F. I put the CB in an old ChB box. I also put a few drops of canola oil on my fingers and rubbed it on the CB. When the oven got to 385F, I put both boxes in the oven for 10 min. The pizza was good, even though it cooled pretty quickly. The CB was also good.
It didn't take long to get the oven to 385F. In my Mar29 post, I discussed putting my window covering in the oven. I did the same thing with the other one in that room before I set the oven to 385F, even though there were only a few beetles on that one. I'm going to have to get around to cleaning off the windows, then I can put the sheet halves back on.
Fri: I got my snack at the hot section of a grocery store. It was in the Asian area. I got a bowl of egg drop soup and one of spicy sour soup(or whatever it's called). I warmed them up in the microwave before I had them. They were good. Usually, the soups come with a bag of deep-fried wonton strips. The guy didn't give me any. I wanted to get out of there, so I didn't ask.
My meal was fried rice and veggies using half a bag of green beans. I did the "curry method" I mentioned in my Feb2 post. This time I did 2 things different. First was that I let the liquid cook down even more before adding in the rice. Second was I didn't add extra canola oil, flour, or cornstarch. The meal was good plain and with my 3 items. Again, I ate very late, partly due to doing some more lawn mowing.
That's it for the food. I'll have my meal in a bit.
It is now 1056am. I was hoping to get done a LOOOOOOOONNNNNG time ago. After Wed, I did type up my Wed meal on Thu because I was doing the regular 2hr "babysitting". On Wed, I was doing something similar to my regular job, but I don't get as many calls because it is only for multi-person issues or vip callers. SNL was the season finale. There was wind glitching going on. I don't think I did my reading during the commercials. I finished reading a bit after 130am. At 2, I went in to take my nap. I got up for 3 to watch the TMZ weekend edition. I fell asleep during it, and woke up at 409. I was going to watch the rest of Washington Week, but fell asleep again. I think I woke up close to 7. I think I did some reading. I then took a drive to look where I go to pay my ticket. When I was taking my jacket off at home, I looked out the widow and saw a wasp starting to build a nest. I went out and hopefully killed it. I then went in the front yard and picked up a bunch of sticks that were in the grass. When I was going to go inside, I saw another wasp starting a nest. I was able to kill it. Then I went inside. A bit after 9, I went and took a large dump. I then was typing and then reading during commercials until 1030, when Washington Week is on, where there are no commercials.
That's all for now. I guess I'll be back next week.

Hello. I feel like starting with the food, and will talk about some other stuff later.
Sat: I had 2 things. The main item was a can of Sweet Sue Chicken and Dumplings. It was good. My snack item was a bag of Lay's potato chips. They were the Flamin' Hot flavor. I was expecting them to be hot like the FH Cheetos, but, no. They were not hot. I can't recall if the flavor was the same though. I do remember that the first few chips actually had a bbq taste somehow.
Sun: My meal was a bag of Pepperidge Farm Goldfish Pretzels. They were good.
On Mon, I went to ALDI. I needed a bottle of canola oil because I was basically out. When I got there, they didn't have any. I bought a bottle of regular vegetable oil, and started using it for my Mon meal.
Mon: My snack was a bag of Clancy's funyuns. They were good.
My meal was fried rice and veggies using half a bag of frozen peas. The meal was good plain and with my 3 items.
Tue: I had a snack. It was a bag of Late July tortilla chips. They were the Mild Green Mojo flavor. They were good.
My meal was the same as Mon.
Wed: I had a snack. It was a bag of Clancy's Fiery Hot cheetos. They were good.
My meal was the same as Mon.
Thu: I got my meal at Arby's. They finally started doing takeout again, so I was able to go back. I missed the gyros(and fish sandwich) promo. I do have a coupon sheet I got in the mail. One of the coupons had a gyro for $2. I wanted to see how long it was good for, and read the fine print. It said you can get up to 6. When I brought it in, they knew about that. I got 6, but didn't get any onion rings. I warmed them up in the microwave for a bit before I ate them. I got 2 Beef, 2 Turkey, and 2 Spicy Greek. They were all good. The Greek ones didn't seem spicy, so I don't know if they fucked them up or not. I was able to eat all of them. I was full, but not stuffed. I was in pain after I woke up a few hours later, but I think that was gas.
Fri: I had a snack a few hours before I ate. It was a bag of Herr's Cheese Curls. They were the Deep Dish Pizza flavor. They were good.
My meal was fried rice and veggies using half a bag of frozen peas. I used the "curry" method like the week before. It was good plain and with my 3 items.
That's it for the food. I'll have my meal later. It is just one thing. I'm having it due to my change in schedule for the coming week.
Mon morning, I'll be going to get my tire fixed. Later, I'm going to my biannual dr appointment. Then I'll be going to drop off the check for my ticket. After that, I plan on visiting the thrift stores in my former town, among other things. Well, one other thing will be eating fast food.
On Thu, I am planning to visit my parents, and do stuff at their house. On Fri, I'm planning on doing something I do this time of year, usually the day after I visit the doctor(dun dun dun). Then the following Mon is Memorial Day. Suffice it to say, my meals will be different this coming week, except for 1 day.
I wanted to mention a bit about my tire. I was going to put the mini spare on on Sat. When I got done with work on Fri, I went in the garage to get the jack handle and mini spare out of the trunk. I was also going to loosen up the lug nuts. I messed with them a few weeks ago, and 1 or 2 seemed like they were worn down. I went to try one of those, and I couldn't loosen it. I'm just going to bring my car in, and tell them if they don't get done by 10, to put the mini spare on, and I'll get my tire when it's done.
It is now 750am. I watched SNL because it was the one I missed when the power went out. I didn't try to do any reading during commercials until near the end of the show. I finished that around 1230. I then started typing this. I then went to take a nap at 2. I then got up for 3 to watch the TMZ weekend show. I felt tired, so I didn't type, and I was mostly listening, due to me closing my eyes. Sure enough, I fell asleep, waking up at 417. I then was going to watch the rest of Washington Week, but fell asleep again. I finally woke up before 6am.
I guess that is all for now. I should be back next week.

Hello, I am starting this Mon morning due to me being at the dealership getting my tire looked at.
I forgot to mention 2 related things last time. I think around 130am Sun, I got sidetracked looking at video on CNN of a pair of cooling towers in Germany getting demolished. It took longer than usual because apparently CNN videos don't play nicely with Internet Explorer. Then I was looking on Google about cooling towers. If it wasn't for that, and me falling asleep, I would have been done WAAAAAAY earlier than I was.
Now I can get to the food.
Sat: My meal was a bag of noodles from ALDI. I put a bit of vegetable oil and salt in the water when I started cooking it. Even though I had the burner up to 7-8, and had the lid on, the water took a while to start boiling. I let the noodles cook way longer than the directions say to. After I drained the water, I stirred in a lot of oil. I then stirred in quite a bit of black pepper. I then waited for them to cool off. They were good. There was a negative that they were all stuck together, even after adding all the oil. Maybe they were all starchy even though I drained the water out. Maybe I should rinse them with fresh water after I drain the cooking water.
I was pretty full when I was done eating.
Part of the reason I had the noodles was due to my anxiety. The other reason was that I did want something to fill me up. I had a dr appointment the next morning, and needed to not eat due to whatever test(s) they do on my blood. Being full from the noodles meant I wouldn't feel hungry later that night.
Mon: I did go to the dr, and didn't end up getting my blood taken after all. I was hungry afterward. I had planned on going to Wendy's because they are/were doing a 2/$5 chicken promo. The items are regular and spicy chicken sandwiches, and nuggets(there may be regular and spicy versions, but I'm not looking). The website made it appear that one of the items had to be nuggets, but I would've gotten 2 sandwiches if I could. When I got there, the doors were locked. I may have made an exception about drive thru, but there was a long line. I also wanted to get 2 things at Taco Bell, but they were also locked. I then went to another TB, which was also locked. I then went to Arby's, which was open. They are doing a 2/$6 promo where one of the items is a chicken sandwich. I got 2 of them. They were really good. The one negative was that the chicken is 2 big strips, and not one piece. When I ate the 2nd sandwich, it started coming apart, which is not fun to deal with when driving. They did have those holding wrapper things on them, but I took them off to make them easier to eat while driving.
I then stopped at a grocery store to get some stuff. I stopped at the hot section. They've had jalapeno poppers before, but not this day. I got some onion rings, and some turkey gravy to dip them in. Both items were good.
Later, I went to Papa John's and got a Papdia. It was the Philly Cheesesteak. It was good. It came with a container of garlic sauce. I think the website shows it coming with something else, which I think is ranch sauce, but the gs was good with it.
On the way home, I stopped at Walmart. I was going to get some stuff in the hot section, but they close early on Mon and Tue.
Later that night, I had 2 things to snack on. One was a bag of Lay's kettle chips. They were the Sea Salt & Vinegar flavor. They were good. I also had a can of Northern Catch Smoked Oysters from ALDI. They were good.
Tue: I had 2 things to snack on. One was a can of Vienna sausages from ALDI. They were good. I put them in the fridge beforehand. I don't think the liquid gooified. The other item was a bag of cheetos from a grocery chain called Save A Lot. They were the hot version, called Hot + Spicy. They were good. There was some heat.
My meal was fried rice and veggies using half a bag of frozen peas. My meal was good plain and with my 3 items.
I need to mention my meat item. It was a can of Pampa sardines in brine. They were good. After I opened the can, but before taking the lid off, I tried drinking some of the brine to keep it from spilling bringing it to my computer. I ended up spilling a bunch.
Wed: My snack was a bag of ALDI funyuns. They were good.
My meal was a Jack's pizza. It was sausage. It was good. I had this due to being the evening before my string of days off. and I knew I would be snacking the next day.
Thu: I got my first snack at the grocery store I mentioned above. This time, I got 10 mini tacos. I found a pic of what they look like: s3.amazonaws.com/order.celinawinestore.com.sites.diner.space/product/1cdbf0698cb817/tn.600x600.png I don't know if I was hungry, I hadn't had them for so long, or getting shit taken care of lifted my anxiety, but they were extremely good. I opined to someone that I could make a meal of them.
Later, I visited another grocery store. I got the pot stickers, which were on sale again. When I got to my parents house, I warmed them up in the microwave a bit. I had them plain and with a packet of soy sauce. They were good. If I knew they were putting them on sale often, I wouldn't have ventured out on 4/10 and had my ticket/tire ordeal.
A little tater, my mom offered my some leftovers in the form of some soup and a sausage. I think the soup was a kind of beef vegetable from Progresso. It was out of the fridge, but good. The sausage was about the size of a regular hot dog. My mom told me the brand and flavor. It was the McCormick brand, which is more known for spices. The variety was Montreal Steak, which is one of their spice blends(coarse black pepper, garlic, paprika, and other spices). It was also out of the fridge. It didn't taste so good plain, but was better with mustard. Usually, I don't mention these kind of things, but I deemed it important, which will make sense below.
Even later, I went to Papa John's and got a Papadia. It was the Meatball Peperoni. It came with a small container of marinara. It was a bit burnt on the edge, but was good. If you are keeping count(probably not), I have had 3 of the 4 Papadias. I still need to try the Italian. I was originally planning on getting that one too, but decided against it because I was planning on having my first special meal. I should've gotten it, which I'll explain in a bit.
On the way home, I stopped at Walmart to get stuff to snack on, and got 3 things. One was a cup of popcorn chicken. It was good. I was planning on getting 2 pieces of fish, but they had run out. I would've gotten the popcorn shrimp instead if they had some. The next item was 6 jalapeno poppers. They were good. They last item was 2 mozzarella sticks. I only had 2 because that is all they had. they tasted really good, which made it suck more there were only 2.
I can't remember if I felt full or stuffed after the WM stuff(I think I felt that way on Mon after the PJ). I know I didn't feel like having a big meal, and I did not feel hungry later. I didn't have a "Thu" meal on Fri because I was making a trip(dun dun dun). I didn't even snack on stuff overnight.
Fri: I was making good time on my trip(dun dun dun), so I decided to visit some other places. My second to last stop was a WM because it was near where my last destination was. I was looking for something, which I did find. I also stopped at the hot food section. I got 8 mozzarella sticks. I ate those on the way home after my last stop. They were good, but not as much as the ones the day before. These ones were still warm, and the cheeses still a bit gooey.
Later, I had a bag of Pop Weaver microwave popcorn. I cooked it for 1:36. It smelled like it was starting to burn, but I didn't notice any burnt pieces. When I took it out, I added vegetable oil. Apparently too much, since there was some in the bottom of the bag. The popcorn was good. I think there were only 2 unpopped kernels. I ate this at 6am. I intended to at 330am during TMZ, but I slept through it.
My meal was 3 things, which I'll give their own paragraphs.
I made homemade fries(chips for those in the UK, and maybe other places). On May 8, I bought a 5lb bag of potatoes for $.98. I was originally going to make something with them, but I looked here and saw I already made it. I think I looked before I bought them, and decided to buy them for this meal. Since I wasn't going to use all of them, I had to figure out what to do with the rest. I finally figured out what to do with them. At 5am, I went and opened the bag to divide them up. Ideally, they would have all been the same size, and having a count of 12, with me using 4 potatoes per meal, with a total weight of 1.66lb per each quartet. There were only 10, with 2 being much larger than the rest. I decided to use those for the fries. I cut each potato in half crosswise. I then sliced them into smaller pieces. I got out my oil pot. I was able to get 2 bottles of canola oil, but I now can't remember if it was on Mon or Thu. I added some to the pot. I heated the oil up to 350F. When it reached that, I put some fries in the basket and cooked them. When they started to brown. I took them out of the oil. I then put them in my pan and put some salt on them. I cooked them in 4 batches. As for the taste, they were good. They were on the soggy side, but I liked that.
My meat item was a bag of frozen fish from ALDI. They were the Fremont Fish Market brand, and called Beer Batter Fish Fillets. When I opened the bag, I could smell the beer. The reason why I got the potatoes to make homemade fries was I also intended to cook the fish in the oil. When I looked at the cooking instructions, they only had them for the oven. When the oven got to 425F, I put the fish in the oven on my large cookie sheet. The instructions said to cook them for 14min, flip them, then cook for another 9-14min. The instructions also said to use a "shallow baking dish", which I interpreted as a rimmed baking sheet. I think the reason they said that was because there is grease that cooks out of the fish. When I opened the oven, a bit of smoke came out. Besides my cookie sheet being flat, it also likes to warp when in the oven, giving the grease places to spill off. When I tried to flip the fish, there was some sticking. I don't know if the grease staying would have fixed that, and/or I should have put some oil underneath each piece. There was more sticking when I flipped pieces from the side than the front or back. I then let the fish cook 9 more min. After that, I turned off the oven, and kept them in there 2 more min. When I took them off the cookie sheet, there was more sticking. That being so, they were still good.
Before I cut up the potatoes, I felt there wouldn't be enough for me, and decided to have some more food. I just decided to have a can of store-brand black olives. I put them in the fridge when I started making my meal. They were good.
Sat: At around 3am, I was feeling hungry, so I had some cereal and peanut butter.
That's it for the food. I will be having my meal a bit later. I already took a dump, but was feeling like there is more ready. It is one item, but a few varieties. I'll just be using the oven today. This was the meal I was going to have for Thu. I'll save my original meal for the 4th of July weekend.
It is now 1126am. I watched SNL. According to the tv listings, it was supposed to be the season finale, which was glitching due to wind when it was originally on. Instead, they played the previous episode. My brain wasn't working, so I didn't read much during commercials. I fell asleep around 1145pm, and don't remember when I woke up. I got my reading done a bit after 1am. I then turned on my work computer to see all the emails I missed. I have both a personal account, and a shared mailbox with the other helpdesk-type people. I didn't get done until around 145. I then took my nap from 2-3. I then woke up for TMZ, and typed during it. I continued doing so until I fell asleep after 430. I then kept on typing until around 750 to take a dump. I then did some stuff, then went to take my nap for 9am. I then typed and then read during commercials until 1030. I then read fromn 1030-11. I then started typing again.
I guess that's all for this week. I should be back next week.

On the Fri after New Year's Day, I visited the south of the river pawn shops, mostly in Independence. Usually my first stop would be the Raytown Cash America, but I visited that on Xmas Eve when I did that trip.
My first stop was Guitar Center. I first went to the used section. For amps, there was a Carvin Vai Legacy head. There was a Peavey 6505 combo. There was a Rivera Knucklehead head. There was a Vox Valvetronix head and cabinet. There was a Blackstar head. There was a Bugera, but I didn't note if it was a head or combo. There were 2 Marshalls. One was a DSL40. The other was a Fifty Split Channel Reverb(the model number is 5212). This might be one of the solid state relatives of the revered JCM800 series.
For the used guitars, there was a Peavey T-25. There was a Gibson Les Paul with P-90 pickups. I also have explorer and thunderbird listed, but I'm not sure if they are Gibson or copies. There were a bunch of lp style guitars from other brands. There was another guitar I noted, but couldn't identify. I said it had either an hh or neck h only config. When I was walking toward the bass area, I saw a new Diezel head. it was $4399! I then went to the keyboard area. I don't think I played anything. I noted a KORG Minilogue. I also noted a Roland JD-Xi.
The next stop was the hole in the wall pawn shop. For amps, there were 2 Peavey bass amps: a Data Bass, and Micro Bass. There was also a Peavey guitar combo from the Transtube series. The Bugera head was sill on top of the Egnater cabinet. There was an Epiphone amp from the Regent series. There was a Dean Markley K-20X combo amp for guitar. There was also a Simmons electronic drums amp for $119. My notes say "SD50", but that is wrong. It could have been a DA50. For keyboards, there was one Casiaha. For effects, there was a Vox chorus pedal. My notes also list an Electro-Harmonix 2880. I know the foot controller was in there, but I don't know if I was referring to that or the actual device. For guitars, there was an Oscar Schmidt Delta King. There were 2 Ibanez guitars with 22 frets and a whammy bar; one had an hss pu config, and the other an hsh. There was an Epiphone lp special, and a Michael Kelly version of one. There was a BC Rich, but I didn't note the model. There might have been a Squier.
For weapons, there were 2 sets of throwing stars still in the box. I think each set was like 6, and had a carrying pouch. I also noted a gun that may have been a Steyr AUG.
The next stop was Alpha Pawn. There was an Epi lp. There was also a BC Rich Mockingbird, but I don't know which price level it was. There was a decent sized Yamaha mixer. For rack effect units, there was an ART stereo eq. There was also a Peavey Univerb II. They also had 2 mini studio boxes for maybe $19.99. One was a headphone amp. The other was a line mixer. If I was anywhere close to having my stuff set up, I would have considered the lm.
I didn't stop at the gun store with the brown dog, even though I'd like to see it again.
My next stop was at a Cash America. Behind the counter was an LTD George Lynch tiger stripe. There was a lot of stuff in a glass cabinet. There was an MXR Micro Chorus. There was a BOSS BD-2. There was a TC Electronic Echoman. There might have been a Marshall Guv'nor, and if so, was probably the newer version. There might have been an Ibanez wah. There were 2 Mooer mini pedals. One was a looper; I think the Groove Loop to be exact. The other was a Mod Factory. I also noted an Alesis mixer, which I think was in there, but could have been behind the counter. For guitars in the main area, there were 2 Squiers. There was a Dean v. There was a BC Rich Warlock from the Bronze Series. There was also a First Act guitar with only a bridge humbucker. For amps, there was a Fender acoustic combo. There was a Bugera, which I think was a combo. I have a Behringer listed, that might be a pa amp, but I wasn't sure; it could be a keyboard amp, if they make those. I also have an Ampeg listed, but I think I wasn't able to tell if it was for guitar or bass. For keyboards, there was a Kurzweil K2500S. There was also a Casio from the WK series. I think the number is 2000, because there doesn't seem to be other 4-digit model numbers starting with 2.
The next stop was the one on 23rd St. The Antonio Tsai guitar was still behind the counter. For other guitars, there were Silvertone, Starcaster, and Squier strats. There was an Epi lp special. There was an Ibanez Jet King, possibly the JTK2 model. There was a Yamaha RGX 110. For amps, the 2 Yamaha Fifty series amps were still there. There was a Peavey bass amp, possibly a TNT. There was a Vox head, which I think was part of the Valvetronix series. There was a Fender modeling amp head. There was also a Crate bass head. For keyboards, there was a Williams Legato digital piano. There were 3 controller keyboards. I don't remember which ones were out in the open and which ones were in glass cases. Speaking of glass cases, the Ibanez wah and Ernie ball pedal(probably volume) were still there. There was a BOSS Bass Limiter Enhancer. There was an EVH 5150 Micro Stack for $25.
When I visited the one out of the way place the day before, the owner told me about a guitar shop on the Independence square, near the "crazy" pawn shop. It was my next stop. There was way too much interesting stuff for me to notate, so I tried my best. There was a Tokai tele. There was a pedal steel. There was at least 1 Gretsch guitar. For amps, there was a Music Man half stack. There was a Kustom 150 combo. There was a Standel combo. There was also an Intersound IVP preamp. It might be for both guitar and bass
Next was the "crazy" pawn shop. There was a xylophone. There were probably 1 or 2 accordions, but I didn't note them. Same from previous times were the Dean Dave Mustaine V, Mitchell electric, the Zoom RFX-2000, SWR combo, Crate cabinet. The amp that said 300 G was still there. This time I asked a worker, and he said it was from Sears. For stuff that I don't recall, there was a Jackson with 24 frets, a whammy bar, and hh pu config. There was a Hartke combo amp for bass. There were 2 Peavey pa cabs. There weren't many guns. There were 2 boxes of throwing stars, but they were tiny.
The last stop was a Cash America. Either behind the counter or in a glass case were 2 Electro-Harmonix pedals: a Bass Preacher, and a Big Muff Pi. For guitars behind the counter, there was an LTD with 24 frets, hh pu config, and a fixed bridge. There was a G&L ASAT with P-90 pickups. There was a Gibson Les Paul. There was one of those Godin electric/acoustic hybrids with a neck humbucker. My notes say there might have been an Epiphone sg. There might also have been a Schecter, but I may have been thinking of the LTD, probably due to the fixed bridge. For amp stuff, the only things I noted was a Fender bass combo and a pair of Peavey pa speakers. For guitars in the common area, there were 2 Yamaha RGX 110. There was an Ibanez RG series with 24f, hh, and whammy bar. There was a Washburn Lyon strat. There were 2 Squier strats, with one having an hss pu config. For keyboards, there was a Williams digital piano. There was a Casiaha. There was an Akai controller keyboard. My note say there was maybe another cont kb, or just the case for one.
After that, I went home.

Hello. I’m starting this on Fri during work because it has been slow this morning. I didn’t email the list of food to my work email. My personal computer is next to me, but I’d have to get up and plug the power cord for the monitor back in; I have the laptop plugged in there now. I’ll just go from memory and add what I need Sat/Sun.
I first need to add something from the previous week. For my Tue meal, I added the goo from cooking the noodles for my Sat meal.
Now let’s get back to the current week.
Sat: This was the meal I was going to have Thu if I hadn’t been full. I had pizza rolls. A while back, the 15ct boxes by Totinos was on sale, so I picked up 4. They are only 7.5oz each, so I wanted some more. I was going to get some at a grocery store when they were on sale, but they were out, or don’t offer them. I instead got a 40ct bag at Save A Lot. Thankfully, all of them cook at 425F in the oven. I used my big cookie sheet, and cooked 2 boxes of Totinos at one time. Each box said there were 15, but there were 16. After those, I cooked the SAL ones in 2 batches. The bag said 40, but there were only 39. They were all ok to good. The SAL ones were peperoni. For the Totinos, I had peperoni, sausage, cheese, and combination.
Sun: This meal can be summed up as putting stuff on stuff. Except for the meat items, I’ll give everything else it’s own paragraph.
One item of the on stuff was a can of Lay's Stax. They were the Orginal(aka plain) flavor. They were good by themselves.
The other item was flatbread from ALDI's Specially Selected brand. There were 2 in the package. On the back of the package, there were cooking instructions, but they mentioned using the flatbread as pizza crust. I opened the package and tried a bit. It tasted a bit doughy. I heated it up in the oven, putting canola oil on both sides of the pieces. After heating it up, I tried some plain. It seemed a bit dry.
One item I put on stuff was a container of tzatziki dip from ALDI's Park Street Deli brand. It was the Spinach Parmesan variety. It was pretty good on both the flatbread and chips. I do think they could have used a bit less spinach. I was originally going to get hummus, but I made a last minute decision and got this instead. Even though I didn't have a problem with the dip, I feel I should have bought the hummus.
Another item was a small wheel of brie from ALDI's Emporium Selection brand. I took it out of the fridge a few hours before I ate it. Both the cheese itself and the rind didn't seem to have much flavor, opposed to other times I've had it. I put some on both the flatbread and Stax, but ate most of it by itself.
I also had another cheese. It was an 8ox ball of fresh mozzarella from Soiree. It was ok. I took it out of the fried at the same time as the brie. It still felt cold when I opened it up. I think it eventually warmed up after I opened it. I seem to recall encountering this situation before; maybe with blocks of cheese. As for the taste, it didn't seem to have any taste until it was close to gone, due to warming up. Like the brie, I put some on the Stax and bread, but mostly ate it by itself.
Now for the meat items. I planned on getting one of those cans of deviled ham from that company called Underwood. I was maybe going to get some other item. After I got my tire fixed, I visited a Walmart along my route. When I went to the shelf, I saw there were 2 other varieties. I didn't buy any of them because they were out of one of those other varieties. A little later, I ran into the WM where I used to live, and saw they had all 3 on the shelf. I didn't get them then because it was almost time for my dr appointment. Later that day, or when I was there on Thu, I got all 3. I put them in the fridge for some time(can't remember) before I ate. I put all of them on the bread and Stax. I can't remember if I tried them by themselves. The first one was the ham. I thought it tasted strange in the sense that I've never tasted something like that before. I seem to recall not detecting any ham taste. I guess I'd call it ok. The next one was the chicken. It was good. I could taste the chicken amid the other ingredients. The last one was the corned beef. This one just tasted like corned beef, but more like the canned variety instead of in cb and cabbage. I would call it ok because I didn't detect any other flavors. If I was to rank them first to last, it would be chicken, corned beef, ham.
I wasn't full when I was done. I was thirsty afterward, so drank a bunch of water. That's when I felt stuffed and un comfortable.
Mon: Since I wasn't hungry, I didn't have a big meal. I just wanted some stuff to eat so I wouldn't be hungry the next day. I had 2 items. One was a bag of Munchies. They were the Flamin' Hot variety. They were good, but seem to think they were nowhere near being hot. I also had a can of StarKist tuna in vegetable oil. It was good. I put it in the fridge. When I was eating it, there was something white in the can. I pulled it out, and I thought it was a bone. The next night, I looked at it, and it was a piece of plastic.
Tue: I had a shitty day at work due to technical difficulties, so I snacked/ate more than usual.
For snacks, I had a Maruchan Instant Lunch. It was the Hot & Spicy Chicken. It was good. Later, I had 2 things. One was a box of generic brand chicken crackers. They were good. I think they are better than the Chicken in a Biskit ones. A good thing is you can find them cheaper at certain stores than the sale price for CiaB. The other item was a can of Northern Catch smoked oysters. They were the ones with the tiny chili pepper. They were good. I can't remember if there was heat.
My meal was fried rice and veggies using half a bag of frozen peas. I added noodle goo to the pan. I did the curry method this time. The meal was good plain and with my 3 items.
For my meat items, I had a can of ALDI sardines. I also had a package of Armour Peperoni. It was good. I was going to have a can of Pampa sardines instead, but I already had one the week before. That would mean I would have ALDI hot sauce or mustard sardines 3 times in a row. I was wanting to have the oil ones on Fri.
Wed: My snack was a bag of Clancy's pork rinds. They were the Hot & Spicy variety. They were ok. They weren't that hot, and what heat there was was cumulative.
My meal was veggie fajitas using half a bag of frozen peas. I did 2 things different, which were related. The first was that I only used 1/3cup of rice instead of 1/2cup, both precooked amounts. That was because of the other thing I did. I usually use 1/2 can of chili beans mashed up. This time I tried using the whole can. I then added water I used to rinse out the can. My meal was good, but there was one problem. The mixture was more loose than normal, so it was oozing out of the tortillas. I did let it sit to cool off, which does help it solidify. I'm thinkin I maybe added too much water to rinse the can.
The next morning, I had colonic pressure and took a dump. I don't know if it was due to the extra beans or the pork rinds, or a combination of both.
Thu: I had some more technical difficulties, causing me to snack a bit more.
I had 2 snacks. First was 8 pot stickers I got at a grocery store. This time, they were chicken. I warmed them up in the microwave a bit before I ate them. They were good plain and with ALDI soy sauce. Later I had a bag of Clancy's popcorn puffs. They were good.
I got my meal at Arby's. I had 2 orders of onion rings. I warmed them up in the microwave before I ate them. They were good. I had a 2/$6 coupon for gyros. I could get 5 pairs, but only got 2. I got 1 Turkey, 1 Beef, and 2 Spicy Greek. I warmed them up in the microwave. They were good. This time, the SG were spicy, but no heat. That means they fucked up before.
Fri: I got my first snack at Taco Bell because they finally opened up for takeout. I got the 2 Grande Burritos on the $1 menu. I warmed them up in the microwave. I used 1.5 packets of Diablo sauce on each, and also tried them plain. They were both good. Later I ate a small Italian sub I bought from a tore the previous day. I took it out of the fridge a few hours before I ate it. It was good. Even later, I had a bag of Pop Weaver popcorn. I cooked it for 1:36, and put vegetable oil in the bag after. It was good. There were 7 unpopped kernels, and 1 that had barely started to pop.
My meal was veggie fajitas using half a bag of frozen peas. I did 2 things different. First, for the 2 rounds of spices...., I just added water from the faucet. Second, instead of chili beans, I used a jar of ALDI turkey gravy, and the water to rinse out the jar. They were good. Like Wed, the mix was a bit loose and was oozing out of the tortillas.
Sat: I just snacked on some cereal and peanut butter to keep me from having hunger pains.
That's all for the food. I'm going to take a dump later and make my meal. One thing is something I've made before, and the other thing is an experiment related to the first thing. It will make sense when I post about it next week.
It is now 1045am. A while after I started typing on Fri, I asked if I was assigned the wrong phone line. I was, and put on the regular one. I then got calls, and wasn't able to type up more. Sat morning, I went out and mowed my lawn, even though I just got the front done, which still looks like crap. I barely started the back when the batteries died out. This means I ate my "Fri" meal really late. About an hour after I went to sleep, I had a dream where I was hearing some kind of alert signal. I woke up, and still heard it. I looked back, and my smoke alarm was going off, and making an audible sound for the first time. There was no smoke, so I took it off the wall and put it in a bedroom so I wouldn't hear it. When I went in the room to shave, I saw the spotlight was on. I pulled out the battery and put it back in. It didn't do anything for a bit, then started back up. I pulled the battery again. Later, I put it back in, and it didn't start going off. I pulled the battery out again, because my "Sat" meal will probably make some smoke. I was going to watch SNL because they said it was supposed to be a repeat of the season finale. Zap2it said it was the Woody Harrleson/Billie Eilish episode. I didn't get to find out because of news coverage of the relatively minor rioting. So a big FUCK YOU to people who can't behave themselves. I eventually got around to reading. I think I got done close to 130am. I then took my 2am nap. I got up at 3 to watch TMZ. I fell asleep during it, then I think I woke up close to 6am. I then started typing until close to 8. I then took my nap before 9am. I then watched Meet The Press while typing and reading during the commercials. I did the same during 10-1030.
I guess that is everything for this week. I should be back next week.

Hello. This week was ok, but ended on a shitty note. I guess I'll just get to the food.
Sat: I had 2 things. They were related, which I'll explain in a bit. I'll give each item it's own paragraph.
My meat item was bacon. I used 2 1lb packages of a store brand. It was the low sodium variety because everything already has too much fucking salt. I cut both packages in half crosswise. I used my regular frying pan. I set the burner to 5. I put some canola oil in the pan. I put 6 pieces in the pan. After a little bit, I flipped them. I did again after a little while. I flipped them a few more times. When they started browning, I let the grease drip off, then put them in the pot, then put the lid on to keep them a bit warm. I repeated this several times. I also would adjust the heat when the bacon started sizzling a lot. I turned the burner down as low as 3 a few times. After a while, I did something with some of the grease in the pan, which I'll get to in a bit. I then cooked the rest of the bacon. As for the taste, it was GOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!! I think I was able to achieve perfection. It was crispy, yet still had some meaty chew. Besides eating it plain, I dipped some in the resultant grease.
The other item was Hasselback potatoes. You can look them up yourself. I used 4 potatoes. To keep from cutting all the way through, I used a pair of Bic pens. I was going to notate what I set the oven to, but I forgot. I think it was 400F. I dunked each potato in the bacon grease, then set them in my casserole dish. I spooned more grease on to of all of them. I then put the dish in the oven. I baked them for 30min. After that, I took them out to cool a bit. Unfortunately, the potatoes didn't fan open. I had to use something to open them up. I dumped more bacon grease on top of them. In a few slits, I put in some onion I had cut up. I then put the dish back in the oven. I then cooked them for another 20min. After that, I forget if I just took them out, left them in longer, or left them in longer with the oven turned off. They were good. I had them both plain and dipped in the bacon grease. The slices weren't crispy, but they were fully cooked. I didn't taste any of the onion.
I still have 4 more potatoes, and will do a variation of this; maybe in 2 weeks.
Sun: I first snacked on some cereal, then had some peanut butter. I finished up a jar of creamy generic brand. It was good. I also opened up another jar.
My meal was a bag of Pepperidge Farm Goldfish Pretzels. They were good.
Mon: I had 2 snacks. One was a bag of Sun Chips. They were the French Onion flavor. They were good. I also had a can of Vienna sausages. They were good. I had them in the fridge beforehand. The liquid did gooify.
My meal was fried rice and veggies using half a bag of peas. When the stuff was cooling down, I added a bit of the bacon grease. The meal was good plain and with my 3 items. I don't think I tasted the grease.
Besides my usual sardines, I had something else. It was store-brand cottage cheese. It was good plain and with black pepper.
This week, I stopped using the cayenne pepper. I think it was either on Mon or Tue. This is because I am running low. Usually that wouldn't matter, but I want to use it for something else.
Tue: My snack was a bag of Pajedas funyuns. They were good.
My meal was fried rice and veggies using half a bag of peas. I added bacon grease earlier in the cooking process. The meal was good plain and with my 3 items. I don't recall if I tasted the grease.
I also finished the cottage cheese. It was good plain and with black pepper.
Wed: My snack was a bag of Herr's Cheese Curls. They were the Buffalo Blue Cheese variety. They were good.
My meal was fried rice and veggies using half a bag of peas. When I cooked the rice, I added some bacon grease. First was when I was toasting the rice. Then after I added the water. I tried some of the rice. I could taste some bacon, but it didn't taste good. I also added some when I was cooking. The meal was good plain and with my 3 items. I don't recall if I tasted the grease.
Thu: I got my snack at Little Ceasars. It was an order of Cheesy Bread. Before I ate it, I heated it up in the oven for 10min at 400F. It was good. I was going to get something at Church's Chicken, but they're still not doing takeout. Hardee's may still have some kind of $1 each deal for sliders from like 2-5pm, but I think I only remembered as I drove past.
I got my meal at Arby's. I got 2 orders of onion rings. I heated them up in the microwave before I ate them. They were good. They were still doing the 2/$6 promo with the chicken sandwiches, so I got 4. I also warmed them up in the microwave. They were not good. I know this was due to waiting a long time to eat them. Maybe I should have heated them up in the oven.
Fri: I usually have 3 snacks, 1 at a time, with the first one around 730pm. I didn't do that this time. This is because I was dealing with bugs and related cleaning. I didn't sit down until 7pm, so didn't feel like getting up later to cook something. I had my first snack after midnight. I actually had 2 things. One was a can of StarKist tuna in vegetable oil. I had it in the fridge before I ate it. It was good. I also had a bag of Brim's Cheetos from Dollar Tree. They were the Hot variety. They were pretty good even though they weren't hot. I had my bag of Pop Warner popcorn after 7am, but I think it was after 730. I cooked it for 1:36, and put vegetable oil in the bag. It was good. I ate it with chopsticks. I think there were less than 5 unpopped kernels.
My meal was fried rice and veggies using half a bag of peas. I did something different. I did both rounds of spices.... After the 2nd round, I waited 5min and stirred the mix. I was then going to do it again after 5min, but I either didn't set the timer or didn't hear it. I was on the internet while I was waiting, and then I thought it's been longer than 5min. I went in and stirred the mix. Some of it was stuck to the pan. I wanted to avoid that, and I didn't want the mix get too brown. I took the pan off the burner to cool down, and turned down the burner. When everything cooled down, I put the pan back on the burner. I then poured in a jar of ALDI turkey gravy, and some water to rinse it out. I mixed it all in. I think I turned the burner up a bit. I let the mixture get a bit hot, then I took it off the burner to cool down. The meal was good plain and with my 3 items. Even though I used my regular ingredients, I was still able to taste the gravy.
Sat: I just snacked on some cereal and peanut butter.
That's it for the food. I'll have my meal later. It is just one item, and something I've had twice in the last 2 months.
It is now 1021am. I started typing between 12 and 1230am. Around 130am, I dozed off for a bit. I then took my nap from 2-3 I then got up to watch TMZ. I watched the first 30min, but fell asleep during the second 30min. I then woke up at maybe 627. I was typing, then took a dump an hour later. At 8, I went in to take a nap to get up at 9. I then watched Meet the Press; typing during it, and reading during commercials. Same with ABC's This Week.
I'll have something next week to mention.
I guess that is it for this week. I'll be back next week, or maybe sooner.

On the Sat before Presidents Day, I went to get my oil changed. I visited the pawn shop and thrift stores in Blue Springs. I then visited the thrift stores in Independence. Then the music store and thrift stores in my former town. I'll just list placed where there was stuff.
The place to mention was the pawn shop. There was an Oscar Schmidt autoharp. There was a banjo There was a BOSS digital recorder. For amps, there was a Marshall Woburn. There was a Vox Valvetronix amp. There was a Roland V-Drums amp for $119. For guitars, there was a tele by a company called Effin Guitars. There was a BC Rich Avenge SOB. There was a Schecter guitar that was more like a strat. It had a hss pu config, 24 frets, and a fixed bridge. There might have been an Ibanez. There were lp special II style guitars from LTD and Sammick Greg Benett. There was also an Ephiphone lp sp II. There were 2 other Epiphones. One was an sg. The other was an lp sl. There were 2 Squiers. One was a mustang, and the other a mini strat. There were 2 Jacksons. One had was hh, with a whammy bar and 24f. The other was a small bodied model.
For guns, there was a KelTec 12 gauge shotgun. There was also a KelTec SUB2000 .40.
I then went to the nearby Goodwill. There was a Technobeat kb.
At the Red Racks next door, there was a Lunar Pool cartridge for the NES.
At the next thrift store, there was a Radio Shack amp for $19.98. the model was MPS50.
I then went to the Salvation Army. There was quite a few things behind the counter. There were 2 autoharps. There was a First Act lap harp. There were 3 kiddie acoustic guitars. It could be that it was cases for them, but I couldn't see what's inside. In the main area, there was a Hammond organ. There was no model name on the front, and I couldn't access the back, so I don't know the exact model. All I know is that it was one of the shitty ones that didn't have the mechanical tonewheels. My notes also say "piano sa-75". When I look up SA-75 on Google, it says that is a model of Casio. If it was a Casio, I would have notated that. It could have been an actual piano with that as a model number.
The next stop was Red Racks. Behind the counter was 2 small African drums. There was a First Act kiddie acoustic. There was a Silvertone strat. I also listed a Casio Concertmate 410. I don't remember if it was behind the counter or in the main area.
The first thrift shop in my town had a Baldwin Orgasonic organ.
My notes indicate I went to the music store next. There were an Epiphone 335 and lp. There was a Fender Tele, but I don't know/recall where it was made. There was a Squier tele. My notes say there was a third tele, but I didn't know who made it. There was an Ibanez with a fixed bridge and hh pu config. I think the amps were all new Fenders.
Next was Savers. There was a piano. There was a first Act kiddie kb. There were 3 Casio keyboards: CTK-520L, CT-630, MD-982. In the front, there was a Memphis bass for $149. It had 21 frets and a pj pu config. I don't know if that was a good price. In the case, there were a bunch of Atari 2600 games. I don't think there were any I wanted.
The last stop was the thrift store where I am friends with the manager. There were 2 saxophones. There was a Casio MT-100. There was a Yamaha PSS-480; I used to own one of those.
That was all for that day.

Hello. It's time for my weekly installment. Let me get to a somewhat relevant topic.
On Mon, I went into the hospital to get an endoscopy of my esophagus and stomach. It was a follow-up to the one I had in Feb on Presidents Day. I was originally going to have this done on Apr 13, but was rescheduled due to the virus. In Feb, they found some scarring, probably from acid reflux. There was still some there. They did a biopsy to see if I have a condition that is considered precancerous. The doctor said I should be on a reflux diet. The paper said I should have many small meals instead of 2-3 big meals. I only eat 1 actual meal per day. It also said I should eat 2-3 hrs before going to bed. I'm assuming this is to keep the stomach vertical. Sun-Thu, I sleep in my chair after I eat, so my stomach is fine. For Fri and Sat(Sat and Sun), I sleep in my recliner. While it is leaned back, I'm not horizontal like I would be in bed. It also said not to drink a lot during meals. Some food makes me thirsty. While I don't really drink much during the meal, I may drink a lot afterward. The main item was the food list. There was a bunch of stuff to either eliminate or reduce. I don't drink coffee at all, and barely any soda, so no problem. It said chocolate and nuts. I only eat some pb on the weekends, and chocolate for my "Sat" snacks(when I resume). There was also fried foods. I do have that kind of stuff on Thu a lot. It is mostly because of the fat content, because it also mentions other fatty foods. I do use a lot of canola oil with my fried rice and veggies. Also, I don't know if that includes sardines, which I have when I have fried rice and veggies or veggie fajitas. The nurse said spicy foods, but I recall the list specifically saying pepper. I love spicy foods, so that would really suck. I think I'll call this week to get some clarification on things.
With that out of the way, it's time for the food.
Sat: I had a 16oz bag of noodles. This time I got them from Save a Lot. I cooked them much longer than you're supposed to. After pouring off the water, I added a lot of canola oil. I also mixed in some black pepper. They weren't good. This was mostly due to them being one sticky mass. They also took a really long time to cool down. I think another contributing factor was the house being warm(under 80F though). I did finish all of them. Another thing I thought up to prevent sticking would be add a pint box of broth when they are done.
Sun: I didn't have anything due to the endoscopy.
Mon: The first thing I snacked on was a sandwich I got at QuikTrip on my way to my parents house before my endoscopy. It is called 3 Meat Stack with Cheddar on White. It was on sale for $3.99 when I was looking for one on May 18. They were all out at the various QT I visited. On Mon, I went there and saw a promo sale sign near the gas pumps. They had them in, so I got one. The first thing I noticed was that it was a lot smaller than employees had described it at places where it was out. I was very good. I didn't taste the cheese.
On my way home, I stopped at Walmart to get some things to snack on. I got a cup of popcorn shrimp, 6 jalapeno poppers, 6 mozzarella sticks. They were all good.
My meal was fried rice and veggies using half a bag of frozen peas. In an effort to eat better, I tried making my meal without using canola oil. That started with the rice. I did heat it up in the pot before adding the water. When I did dump it in the veggies in the pan, it was sticky. Now for the veggies. When the pan was hot, I put in some cabbage. I also put in a little water to prevent sticking. The cabbage didn't really fry or brown. It just seemed to dry out. The same thing happened with the onions. When I dumped the peas in, they didn't brown either. I then did my first round of spices.... I also added some goo from the noodles. After the water cooked down, I added the rice. After mixing it in and waiting 3 minutes, I added the second round of spices...., but forgot the goo. I then let it cook for 5min, then flipped the mix over. I did this a few more times. It was sticking real bad, so I finished. I had my meal plain and with my 3 items. It was not good. While there was a little browning, it was soft. The mixture was sticky as hell. Most importantly, it didn't taste good. I recall just a weak pea taste.
Tue: I had 2 snacks. One was a bag of Snyder's Pretzel Pieces. They were the Hot Buffalo Wing variety. They were good. While they were spicy, I don't recall if there was any heat. My other snack was Vienna sausages. They were good. I put them in the fridge before I ate them, but the liquid didn't gooify.
My meal was the same as Mon, except for a few changes. When I did the rice, I toasted it a bit longer. It came out better. I did the same thing as Mon concerning the veggies. This time, I added noodle goo during each round of spices.... After mixing in the 2nd round, I let in cook for 10min. I then stirred it, then left 5min. Then I dumped the mixture in the pot. I then added canola oil to the pan, and twisted the pan around so the oil would coat the pan. I then put the mixture back in. I then let it sit for 10 min. I then flipped the mix, and waited another 10 min. Did the same thing. I stopped because it was sticking bad. I had it plain and with my 3 items. I recall it tasting not as bad as Mon, but still not very good. I don't think it was as solid as Mon.
Wed: For a snack, I brought out the shredded wheat with canola oil. It was good.
My meal was hot dogs. They were the basic Bar-S ones. I cooked them in the microwave. I had 4 on buns and 4 naked. I had them all with regular mustard. On the first bun, I used some onion I had cut up and put in the liquid from the Mezzetta Deli-Sliced Hot Cherry Peppers. I put them in quite a while ago. I tried a few pieces by themselves, and they weren't hot. I don't think I noticed a difference on the hot dog. I then used regular onion on the rest of the buns until I ran out. On the first naked hot dog, I used the pickled onions. I think I was able to taste them. On the rest of the hot dogs, I used regular onion if I had any left. All the hot dogs were good.
My snack item was a bag of Clancy's Krinkle Cut(aka wavy) Kettle Chips. They were the Buffalo Blue Cheese flavor. They were good. I recall that they actually tasted like what they're labelled as.
Thu: My snack was shredded wheat with canola oil. It was good.
I got my meal from Subway on Wed. I had intended to get 1 Meatball Marinara, and 2 of the cheaper of the Italian sandwiches(I think Spicy Italian) because I thought it was the same price as the MM. When I got there, I saw the Italian sandwich was more expensive than the MM. The only sandwiches the same price as the MM were the Veggie Delight(no fucking way) and Cold Cut Combo. I knew the VD was beforehand, but I can't recall whether I had remembered about the CCC. I got 1 CCC, and 2 MM. I took them out of the fridge a few hours before I ate. When I wanted to eat, I put the 2(still wrapped in the paper) MM in the oven, on a cookie sheet, which had reached 350F. After 5 min, I turned the cookie sheet around. After 3min, I put the CCC(still wrapped in the paper) in there also. I kept them in there for another 2min. They were all good.
All 3 sandwiches used provolone, and grated parmesan. I'll list them in order of eating: CCC: Italian bread, tomato, lettuce, ranch dressing. MM: Italian bread, spinach, onion, green peppers, black olives, oregano MM: flatbread, spinach, onion, green peppers, black olives, oregano
Fri: I had shredded wheat and canola oil a few different times. It was good.
My first official snack was a Michelina's entrée. It was the Beef & Peppers. Later, I had a bag of Combos. They were the Peperoni Pizza Baked Cracker. They were good.
Much later, I had a bag of Pop weaver microwave popcorn. I set the microwave for 1:36. When there were 4sec left, I paused it because the popping had stopped. Right after I paused, I heard one pop, so I ran the last 4sec. I added vegetable oil when it was done. It was good. There were a lot of unpopped kernels, but I didn't count them. I had this after 730am. I had fallen asleep during TMZ. Before I had the popcorn, I took a big dump.
My meal was hot dogs. They were the basic Bar-S ones. First, I had cut up some onion. I threw it in the pan and used some bacon grease. When those were done to my satisfaction and removed them, I added more bacon grease, then the hot dogs. After I took those out, I toasted 1 bun using the bacon grease in the pan. After that, I spread some grease on the inside parts of each half of a bun and put it in the pan. I had 4 hot dogs on buns and 4 naked. I had them all with regular mustard. On the first bun(one of the untoasted ones), I used some onion from the Mezzetta jar. I don't think I noticed a difference on the hot dog. I then used fried onion on the rest of the buns until I ran out. On the first naked hot dog, I used the pickled onions. I think I was able to taste them. On the rest of the hot dogs, I used regular onion if I had any left. All the hot dogs were good. I didn't taste any bacon at all.
My snack was a bag of Doritos. They were the Flamas variety. They were good. They were hot.
Sat: I had some peanut butter which was good. I also finished up a box of cereal. It was Cocoa Pebbles. It was good.
That's all for the food for now. I feel like having some shr wh & can oil. I'll mention it next time if I do. My actual meal is a variation of something I've had before. The preparation will actually take longer than the actual cooking. I already took a dump, but it feels like there is more to get rid of.
It is now 1108am. I did reading during most of SNL. At around 1215, there was a fucking cockroach crawling on my desk. Instead of just using my hand to knock it on the floor, I got up to get something to squash it with. By that time, it was near junk on my desk. Even though I pressed down on this stuff, the roach still went underneath. I then pulled all this, and other stuff off looking for it. I sprayed the desk down with my bottle of water and hand dish detergent. After putting the stuff back, I also used some WM Lysol. I got done reading after 1am. I think I went in to take a nap after 130. I got up for 2 to watch a show about the Yamato on PBS. I was typing during that. I also typed during TMZ and Washington Week. I fell asleep sometime after 430. I can't remember when I woke up. I did take a dump at 730. I then went to take my nap after 8. I got up for MTP at 9, typing during it and reading during the commercials. Same with TW(10-1030). I'm typing during WW again, and a local current affairs show.
I'm done with this post. I'll have another one in a little while.

This is kind of an odd one. On 5/18, I went to get my tire fixed in Blue Springs. I didn't visit the places there because I had to go to the doctor later. I did look around the places in my former town that were open. For the places that were closed, I went back on the 21st to see if they were open. I'll list places in the order I went on Mon.
Between the tire repair and the doctor, I visited the Salvation Army thrift store at their main site. It was closed. I asked an SA worker when it would open, and he said Wed. I went back Thu. There was nothing in the regular area. In the as-is area, there was a piano that had the word Acrosonic on it. Doing a Google search shows this is a Baldwin. There was also a Thomas The Paramount Deluxe organ.
The first thrift store I visited in my old town was closed. When I went back Thu, it was still closed. I did see an organ in there. It may have been the one there last time.
Then I went to Goodwill. Not only was it closed, there were cones in front of the entrance. I went back on Thu. Some of the cones were moved, and the door was wide open. I went inside. There was nobody in there until I was almost done. Then some guy with an attitude saying they were closed until the next day. I didn't see anything of note, but I missed the one corner, but I think I could see through the window that there was nothing there.
I then went to the antique store, which was open. There was a kid size First Act guitar. I didn't note if it was an electric or acoustic. There were 3 kids glockenspiels; these are the kinds with rainbow colored plates. There was also a tambourine.
The next stop was the music store. Besides the Epiphone 335 and lp that might have been there before, there was also an sg. There were 2 Fenders; a Strat and Tele. I didn't look/ask where they were from. Neither did I about the Squier strat, but that one looked new, so probably not one of the coveted Japanese ones. There were also 2 PRS guitars. I didn't loom to see if they were regular models, or from their lower-priced SE series. I also noted there were Fender amps.
The next place was the Savers in the same shopping center. There was a Disney princess kb. In the front, there was a clarinet. There was also a keyboard case. When I opened it up, there was a Roland JX-3P. The price tag was $499.99. I only spent $100 total for mine at the hole in the wall pawn shop.
I then went to the thrift store where I know the manager. They were closed on Mon due to lack of staff. They were open on Thu, but there was nothing of note.
On Mon, I drove to where the cat shelter thrift store was, and it was gone.

Hello. I'm starting this at work on Tue because I'm doing "babysitting" today. I thought it was just for the last 2hrs, but it's the job that's all day. The 2hr is on Thu; I had the days switched in my head. Today isn't really babysitting. It's like my regular job, but it's higher priority issues, so there are less calls for the most part.
I guess it's time for the food. Sat: As I mentioned last week, I did have shredded wheat with canola oil. It was good.
My meal was a rotisserie chicken. I heated it up in the microwave. When It was done, I cut it up. After that, I dumped in a jar of ALDI turkey gravy(and water to rinse the jar) that I heated up. So what I did was put it on a package(10ct) of flour tortillas. The only cooking I did to them was warm them up in the microwave to soften them. I didn't know how much chicken I would have for each tortilla. My plan was to put the chicken on the tortillas and wrap into burritos before eating. I got 2 done before scrapping that idea. They weren't staying wrapped, and there was a bunch of liquid leaking out of them. I decided to make the rest while eating. After eating those 2, I made the next 2 with a new item. In my 3/22 post, I talked about making kimchi. I tried some by itself. It was ok. There was a bit of heat. I've only had kimchi once before when I bought a jar as the Asian grocery store. After that, I made 1 or 2 more without kimchi. Then I saw I still had a lot of chicken left. I just decided to put chicken on the tortillas and wrap them up conically like I do with the fajitas. After all the tortillas were gone, there was still some chicken left, so I just ate it. As for the taste, everything was good. I was able to taste the kimchi in the tortillas that had it. There were only 2 other things I wanted to mention. If I had known how much chicken there was, I would have made less of the tortillas into burritos. I'm thinking maybe 2 less. I alluded to the other thing of note above. The mixture of chicken and gravy was really watery. Quite a bit of liquid cooked out of the chicken. Also, I think I added too much water to the jar to rinse it out. Maybe I should have tried dumping the liquid in the jar instead of using water. The other option would be to add flour and/or cornstarch to the gravy to thicken it up.
Sun: First, I opened up a new box of cereal and had some pb. My meal was a bag of Pepperidge Farm Goldfish crackers. They were the Flavor Blasted Cheesy Pizza. They were good.
Mon: For a snack, I had a bag of Great Value(Walmart brand) Jalapeno Cheese Puffs. They were ok. They seemed too cheesy when I first started eating them. I don't think I tasted jalapeno, but I did smell it when I opened the bag. I think the Herr's version is better, even though I haven't had them In a while.
My meal was fried rice and veggies using half a bag of frozen peas. I made it, including the rice, in the normal way with canola oil. I also added the rest of the noodle goo. During the meal, besides eating it plain and with my 3 items, I also used some of the pickled onions I mentioned last week. I tried them on the plain mixture, and with each item by itself. While the additional onions wasn't too bad, it wasn't that much better than normal.
Tue: My snack was a small(3oz) bag of Andy Capp's Hot Fries. They were good.
My meal was fried rice and veggies using half a bag of frozen peas. When I was cooking, I made an error. During the first round of spices...., I forgot the soy sauce and hot sauce. I did remember to add those for the second round. When I had my meal, I used the kimchi on it. I used it on the plain mix, and with all my 3 items and their combinations. Everything was good. I was able to taste the kimchi.
Wed: My meal was veggie fajitas using half a bag of peas. I had the tortillas and the pepper and hot sauce in the normal order I've mentioned before. This time, I added the pickled onions. I used them on the first 4 tortillas. I didn't on the last one, mainly because I forgot due to concentrating on getting the mix in it. Also, They were pretty much gone, so it would be a pain getting them out. There was some mix left over, so I just ate it out of the pan. Everything was good. I could taste the onions a little bit.
Thu: I had a shitty day at work, and then there was getting part of my meal. Each caused me to do stress snacking.
My first snack was a bag of J Higgs funyuns from Save A Lot. The first few I had tasted strange. Not in the sense that there was something wrong with them though. After that, I didn't notice it. Either it went away, or I got used to it. I'd say they were good. One day, I'm going to have to do a taste test between these, the Clancy's(ALDI), and the Pajedas("Mexican"). Walmart's Great Value brand has some, but I've never had them before. And of course, the real deal are $$$$.
Later, I had 2 things. One was a can of StarKist tuna in vegetable oil. It was good. I put in in the fridge before I ate it. The other item was a bag of Brim's cheetos from Dollar Tree. They were the Fiery Hot variety. I thought they were good. There was only a little bit of heat.
I got the main component of my meal at Arby's. There were flies, but they weren't near the food. Then there was a mix up with the coupons. Finally, there was probably something unsanitary. The last time I was there, I think I saw something unsanitary. I don't think I'm going to use this one again.
What I did get there was 4 of the Loaded Italian sandwiches. I didn't heat them up before I ate them. They were good.
Earlier in the week, I had decided not to get onion rings. Considering what transpired there, that was a good thing. I had decided I would have a bag of potato chips. I chose a bag of Kettle Brand Krinkle Cut. They were the Salt & Fresh Ground Pepper. They weren't good. There was too much pepper flavor. There wasn't any heat, so that wasn't an issue. Maybe they would've tasted better if I had them with something else, such as hot dogs. I should've had a bag of sour cream & onion chips I have.
Fri: My first snack was a Mama Cozzi's Pizza Kitchen calzone from ALDI. The instructions said if it's frozen, put it in an oven set to 425F for 1hr. After 30 min, I opened the oven to rotate it. The edges were already having some burning. After the last 30 min, I took it out. It was burnt a bit more. It stayed too hot for a long time. It was still hot when I ate it. Even though there was burning, and it was hot, it was still good. I ate it later than I had intended. I was feeling like I had to take another dump. It was actually my prostate bothering me. If it wasn't for that, I would've started the calzone earlier. That would've also meant I had more time to let it cool.
Later, I had a bag of Combos. They were the Pizzeria Baked Pretzel. They were good.
Like last week, due to falling asleep, I had a bag of Pop Weaver popcorn way later than I wanted to. I cooked it for my usual 1:36. When it was done, I put in the little bit of the bacon grease that was left. I then added some vegetable oil. The popcorn was good. I only tasted the grease when I got to the bottom of the bag. My notes say there were 8 unpopped kernels. My brain is saying there were 6.
My meal was my veggie fajitas using half a bag of peas. Like Wed, I ate them in my usual order in regard to tortillas and pepper and hot sauce. This time, I put kimchi on all 5 tortillas. There was some of the mix left over. I put kimchi on it, and ate it out of the pan. Everything was good.
Sat: I snacked on a bit of cereal. I finished a jar of crunchy peanut butter. It was a generic brand. I also opened up another jar of peanut butter.
That is all for the food. I will have my meal later. It will be an experiment similar to one I did previously.
It is now 1106am. Like I id at the beginning, I started typing this on Tue. I then did some more on Fri. I watched some of SNL. I was also doing my regular reading, and some extra reading. I got my regular reading done after 1am. I resumed typing. I took my nap from 2-3am. I then was going to type during TMZ, but fell asleep. I woke up around 414am, then fell back asleep. I then woke up right before 7am. I was typing, and finished the extra reading. A bit after 730, I took a dump. I then did some stuff, then went and took my nap to get up for 9. When I got up, I turned on MTP, and went in the kitchen to prepare something for my meal. I then sat down and typed during the show and reading during the commercials. At 10am, I went in and took a second dump. Afterward, I did read during the commercials of TW, and type during the show. I typed through Washington Week. I read during the pause between WW and the local affairs show, which I have on now.
I am pissed at myself for falling asleep. I could have been done with this really early. This is not the first time I've taken 2 dumps. I recall doing so last week, but after posting. I think I may have in previous weeks also. I wish I could just be one and done for the day.
I don't know if I'll be back later. There would be a better chance if I had finished this earlier.

Hello. I am starting at 1213am. I'll get to that later. The week has been bookended by shittiness. Last Sun, I was going to continue typing something(dun dun dun) up. I opened the email for the stuff I typed at work. I knew I typed more than what was there. I was pissed. I turned on my work computer, and couldn't find the missing text. I felt like giving the laptop fatal blunt force trauma via the corner of my (personal)computer desk, but I refrained. Instead, I pounded the desk with my fist 2 times. When I started work on Mon, I asked on our IT shared mailbox about my missing text. Somebody replied, and I was able to find my missing text. I could've sworn there was more there. There is a chance I did lose some text, but more likely is that my brain is remembering me transcribing my notes to my computer. I'm thinking it was Sun night, but maybe Mon, I was looking at my desk. The shelf under the main part of the desk looked uneven. I checked and it was. Apparently, I had caused a screw holding the side of the shelf assembly to strip out of the wood when I pounded the desk. I was going to get something to prop it up. The shelf started leaning more. I was going to wait to do it. Then one morning after 4am I woke up. The shelf had stripped/broke off from the other screws, and fell on the floor. I don't know if the sound woke me up, I woke up after, or I woke up right before it happened. Thankfully, there was noting important in the shelf; mostly just empty snack bags and a few things for the recycling bin. As for the other end of the week, when I was making my "Fri" meal on Sat, I saw a fly. I was able to kill it quickly. I think there might have been another one. Later, when I was almost done cooking, there was a small one. I went around trying to hunt it down. I saw it, but there was a regular fly, which I killed. I couldn't find the small one. I ate the main part of my meal with no problem. When I was putting my pan and 3 items in the kitchen, I saw the small fly. I killed it. After I went to sleep, and woke up, I saw another fly. I think I killed it, but I couldn't find it on the floor.
With that 30min+ of typing out of the way, let's get to the food.
Before we get current, I need to mention something I omitted. I think last week, I opened up a new bottle of hot sauce. It was Taco Bell Diablo. The Bulliard's wasn't completely empty, but I didn't think there was enough to add to the pan and have with a meal.
Now we can get to this week.
Sat: The email incident caused me to stress eat some shredded wheat with canola oil.
I made a few things for my meal. Let me make separate paragraphs for each thing.
I cooked a 24oz can of Hunt's pasta sauce. It was the Italian Sausage variety. I could smell and taste the It sausage.
I made a package of Klemment's Italian sausage. I fried it up in the cast iron pan. I didn't turn the flame as high up as usual because I didn't want the grease burning off. I had the sausage with the pasta sauce on it, and sometimes some parmesan cheese. It was good.
I had 4 potatoes left, so I wanted to try making Hasselback potatoes with them. Like last time, I cut them using the 2 old pens as guides. This time, I first coated them with canola oil, since I knew there wouldn't be enough grease from the sausages. The oven was at 410F, and I put them in for 30min. I took them out. I set the oven to 425F. I tried opening some of the slices up. I also coated the potatoes with the grease from the sausages, and got some in the slices. I also added some canola oil. I then put them in for 15min. I then took them out. I put mozzarella cheese I had sliced up earlier(see last week) in the slices on the potatoes. I also added some cheese on the tops. I put a little canola oil on the tops, and added some parmesan. I then put them back in for another 15 min. After that, they were done. As for the taste, they were good. I had them plain and with pasta sauce. I think I sometimes used parmesan when I used the sauce. They didn't get crispy again. I don't think I tasted the cheese between the slices. As for the cheese on top of the potatoes, it turned into solid masses that I pulled off. They were good though.
For the sake of completeness, there were a few pieces of cheese left, so I ate them with my meal.
Sun: I snacked on some cereal and peanut butter.
Since I was still a bit full from my meal, I wanted to have something smaller. I had a bag of TGI Friday's cheese puffs. They were the Jalapeno Popper variety. They were good. There was some heat.
Mon: I had some shredded wheat with canola oil.
My snack was a bag of Clancy's funyuns. They were good.
My meal was fried rice and veggies using half a bag of peas. To lessen the amount of canola oil I used, I made it using my modified curry method that I mentioned May10, but you need to read the Feb2 post about it first. The meal was good plain and with my 3 items.
Tue: I had some shredded wheat with canola oil.
I had 2 snacks. One was a can of Northern Catch(ALDI) Smoked Oysters In Cottonseed Oil. They were good. I also had a bag of Clancy's cheetos. They were the Fiery Hot variety. They were good.
My meal was fried rice and veggies using half a bag of peas. I made it curry style. For each round of spices...., I added both the Diablo, and the Bulliard's. I was going to start using it Mon, but forgot. My meal was good plain and with my 3 items.
Wed: I had some shredded wheat with canola oil.

Thu: I had some shredded wheat with canola oil.
I got my snack at Popeyes. There is a Buffalo Ranch Tenders promo where you get 3 tenders, biscuit, and 1 side for $5. The girl put the BR sauce in a sperate container so I could add it later, and not have it get on everything else. I warmed up the food, but not the sauce, in the microwave before I ate it. First I had the biscuit. It was good. Next was the side. I chose fries. They were really good. I would even say they were the best fast food fries I've had. As for the tenders, they were good. I dipped them in the sauce instead of dumping it on them. They are kind of small though. I think I saw on the commercial that there was also supposed to be a container of ranch sauce tom dip the tenders in. I asked the girl, and she said it just comes with the BR sauce. Doing a Google search shows I'm right. It's no big deal since the tenders were fine with just the BR sauce.
I got my meal from Arby's; actually 2, which I'll explain in a bit.
I got 2 orders of onion rings. I warmed them up in the microwave for maybe 40sec at 50% power. They were good.
I got 4 French Dip & Swiss sandwiches. I warmed them up for a total of 70sec(40 + 30) at 50% power. They were good. The last time I had them was when they were doing the 2/$6 promo, which was maybe Dec of 2018. That would mean I hadn't had them for around 18 months.
Now back to the 2 Arby's thing. Last week, when I went to another one, they took both coupons, but I ended up having to have 2 orders/receipts for both of them to work. I didn't know if they would do that at the primary one I use, so I stopped at a different one first to just get the 2 sandwiches. At the main one, I got 2 sandwiches, and the onion rings. I asked the lady there, and she said she would have done 2 orders thing.
Fri: I had some shredded wheat with canola oil.
My first snack was from Taco Bell. I was hoping they still had those Grande Burritos on the $1 menu, but they didn't. I got 2 other items instead. I warmed them up in the microwave before eating them. First was a soft taco. I put a packet of Diablo sauce on it. It was good. Next was a Cheesy Bean and Rice Burrito. I used 2 packets of Diablo on it. It was good, helped by not tasting the cheese.
Due to falling asleep, I had my next snack much later than I wanted. It was a bag of Good Sense Sesame Oat Bran Sticks. they were good.
I also had my bag of Pop Weaver popcorn. I cooked it for 1:36. I added vegetable oil after I took it out of the microwave. It was good. I think there were less than 5 unpopped kernels. I didn't count; I only went by what I felt in my mouth.
My meal was fried rice and veggies using half a bag of peas. I made it curry style. For the 2 rounds of spices...., I only added the ALDI mrs dash Table Blend, and water from the faucet. I had it plain, with my 3 items, and with the mrs dash. It was decent.
Like I said at the beginning of the post, I was having fly problems. That is partially why I ate VERRRRRRRRRY late. I think I was actually finished after 5pm.
Sat: I had a bit of cereal and peanut butter.
I went back to having my sweet snacks after 12 weeks, the last time being 4/5. I'll give each item it's own paragraph.
I found a Kit Kat in the big candy bag. I put it in the freezer. It was good.
I had all the Krackel bars. I had 1 in the freezer, and the rest in the fridge. They were good.
I had all the Heath bars. I had 1 in the freezer, and the rest in the fridge. They were good.
I had 1 of the Little Debbie Glazed Donut Sticks. I put it in the freezer. It was good.
I had 1 of the LD Pecan Spinwheels. I put it in the freezer. It was good.
That's it for the food. I will be having my meal later. I will only be cooking one thing. I think I will need to take another dump, even though I've already taken 2.
It is now 1119am. I just watched a little bit of SNL, including Weekend Update. I got my main reading, and some Yahoo! News comment reading done after midnight. I then started typing. I kept on until I went in at 2am to take my first nap. I got up for 3 to watch TMZ. I got the snacks together. I was typing an eating until I was done. I was able to stay awake this time. I took my first (huge)dump before 6. I then did some more typing. I also did some reading. I then took another (big)dump around 730. After doing some stuff, I went in to take my nap. I got up to watch Meet The Press. I was feeling pressure in my digestive system, so I had the tv on, but went into my bedroom to lay on the bed. I was able to cut some farts. Around 921, I went to my desk to resume typing, and reading during the commercials. I continued doing so until 1030. I then read until 11. And now continued typing after restarting my computer for the second time due to the typing lag.
This week will have the 4th of July weekend, so I will be having some special meals, and slightly changing my meal schedule.
I guess I'll go work on that other thing now(dun dun dun).
I should be back next week. Hopefully it is better.

Hello, I am starting this at 142am. That is because it took me a long time to finish my reading. and that is because we have fucking retards who feel it's necessary to still be lighting shit after 1am.
I guess I'll just get to the food.
Sat: The main part of my meal was 2 cans of Campbell's chunky soup. They were the Thai-Style Chicken Rice & Vegetables. It was good. it actually tasted like Asian food. This was due to a specific flavor I couldn't identify. I was guessing it was cinnamon or coconut. They don't use cinnamon, but do use coconut, along with lime, lemongrass, ginger, and coriander. There was a negative in that it took forever to cool down. I was done with my other 2 items before I ate much of the soup.
My snack item was a bag of Kettle Brand potato chips. They were the Crinkle Cut, and were the Dill Pickle flavor. They were good. They did have a dill taste.
I also had a can of Hormel White & Dark Chicken. It was good.
Sun: I first snacked on some cereal and peanut butter.
My "meal" was half a box of saltine crackers. I think I got them at ALDI. I'm not going to get up and look at the box, or look at the previous post where I had the first half. They were decent.
Mon: I had crumbs from 4 boxes of shredded wheat with canola oil.
My snack was a bag of store-brand veggie straws from the h/n/o store. They were good.
My meal was fried rice and vegies using half a bag of green beans. I added some Bulliard's hot sauce along with the Diablo. I made my meal using the curry method. The meal was good plain and with my 3 items.
Tue: I had a shitty workday, culminating with my last call keeping me way past my shift. I then had to got to an ALDI other than my main one, because the main one didn't have the 2 kinds of special potato chips in the ad. I did a lot of stress snacking.
First, I had a can of Northern Catch Smoked Oysters With Red Chili Pepper. They were good. I don't recall if there was any heat. I wanted more, so I had a bag of Clancy's popcorn puffs. They were good.
Later, I had 2 more things. First was a can of Vienna sausages. They were good. I put them in the fridge beforehand. They were cold, but the liquid didn't gooify. I then had a bag of TGI Friday's Mozzarella Sticks cheese puffs. They were good.
My meal was fried rice and vegies using half a bag of green beans. I added some Bulliard's hot sauce along with the Diablo. I made my meal using the curry method. The meal was good plain and with my 3 items.
My meat item was a can of Pampa sardines in brine. They were good.
Wed: I got my first snack from Hardee's. It was a Spicy Western Bacon Cheeseburger. I warmed it up in the microwave before I ate it. It was ok. There was a bit too much bbq sauce, which made it the dominant flavor. I do recall tasting the bacon and jalapenos though. It was expensive; over $5. It was the single-patty version. There are also versions with 2 and 3 hamburger patties, costing at least $1 and $2 more.
I had a stressful day at work, so I had another snack. It was a bag of Boulder Canyon kettle potato chips. They were the Classic Sea Salt variety cooked in coconut oil. They were good. They didn't taste any different than regular plain kettle chips.
I got my meal at Little Caesars. I got 2 items. I heated them up in the oven for 10min before I ate them. I forgot to note what temp I used. I think I tried 400F this time. The first item was an order of Stuffed Crazy Bread. I had them plain and with the provided marinara sauce. They were ok. Even though the ads show it, I didn't realize you only get 3, which seems a bit expensive. I also had a pizza. I was wanting to get a Peperoni Cheeser Cheeser, but they don't do those any more. I then wanted an Extra Most Bestest peperoni pizza, but they didn't have any ready. I just got a basic $5 peperoni pizza. It was good. I had it mostly plain, but also dipped it in the rest of the marinara sauce.
A little bit after I ate, I had to rush off to the bathroom and do a large soft dump. When I got up, I had to do more. Part of me is thinking it was the potato chips, due to them being cooked in coconut oil.
You may be thinking why am I having a fast food meal on Wed when I usually do it on Thu. I got Fri off for the 4th of July because it was actually on Sat. I considered the weekend to start on Thu after work, so I started my special meals.
Thu: I had quite a few things. I'll give each their own paragraph.
One of my main items was a large(23oz) can of Campbell's Vegetable Beef soup. It is the kind where after you add a can's worth of water. It was good. It cooled off sooner than the Sat soup.
My other main item was a large(16oz) bag of Herr's Cheese Curls. They were the Jalapeno Poppers variety. They were good.
I also had an 8oz package of Sugardale peperoni. It was good.
I also had an 8oz ball of fresh mozzarella by Soiree. I mentioned last time that it didn't have much taste even though I took it out of the fridge for a few hours. I attributed this to not opening up the package. This time I did. I drank the liquid inside, which had a bit of a chemical-y taste. As for the taste, sometimes it had that same chemical taste. Other times it was ok. I would go with the BelGioioso instead.
Fri: I mowed the lawn. When I was done, I had a bottle of Powerade. It was the Orange variety. It was good. I had put it in the fridge before I drank it. I should have put it in sooner so it would have been a little cooler. I think I could've also drank one of the other 2 bottles I have left.
Again, I'll make a paragraph for each item of my meal. This time, I feel like doing it in reverse order than what I normally would.
I had a box of Keebler Town House Focaccia crackers. They were the Tuscan Cheese flavor. There were very good.
I had a can of Pringles. They are part of the Rick and Morty promotional tie-in. The flavor is called Pickle Rick. They were good. They did taste like pickles.
I had a Knorr Asian Sides item. It was the Teriyaki Noodles. It was good.
The main item was a jar of Fremont Fish Market(ALDI brand) Wild Herring In Wine Sauce. I tried them plain and with my condiments and spices. I did make a list, but it wasn't in the order I tried these items: plain: good black pepper: not much difference cayenne pepper: not much difference Bulliard's hot sauce: not much difference Taco Bell : not much difference garlic powder: not much difference ALDI mrs dash Table Blend: not much difference red pepper flakes: not much difference soy sauce: soy sauce mustard: mustard canola oil: not much difference parmesan: parmesan I also put a piece on one of the Focaccia crackers, which was ok. I also tried one on a Pringles chip, which actually wasn't that bad.
There were also a ton of onions in the jar. I ate them, which was ok. I think I've had my fill of pickled herring. I'll have to remind myself not to get any during the Xmas season.
Again, I ate VERY late. I'm pretty sure I got done around 5pm on Sat.
That's all for the food. I'll be having my last special meal later. First, I'll need to take a dump.
It is now 1122am. Like I said above, I didn't start typing until late due to the idiots shooting off fireworks way too late. I then took my nap at 2am. I got up at 3 to watch TMZ, but fell asleep after 330. I woke up at 414, but fell asleep again. I think I woke up around 630, but again fell asleep. I think I woke up after 730. I did more typing, then went to take my nap at 830 instead of 8. I got up at 9 for Meet The Press. I typed, then read during commercials. I did the same from 10-1030. I then typed during Washington Week, and now during the local affairs show on PBS.
I guess I'll see you next week.

Hello. I'm back. At work this past week, they had me remotely installing software on people's computers. I guess that's the only non-food item of note, so I guess we can proceed to the food.
Before I start, I need to bring up stuff I didn't last week. It was a combination of forgetting, and not wanting to add stuff when I was almost done.
First I wanted to talk a bit about the pickled herring. If you remember, most of the stuff I tried on it didn't make much of a difference. What I wanted to add was that the pickling liquid was so dominant that the other stuff didn't make a difference.
Next, I wanted to say something about Wed. For my snack, I actually wanted to get something at Church's Chicken, but they are still not doing takeout. I forgot what day it was when I saw the commercials for the Hardee's burgers.
I had one more thing. I forget what day this was on. I was having some hunger pains, but I didn't want my snack(or meal) yet. I thought consuming a couple of condiment packets would tide me over. The first was a ketchup(maybe Heinz) from BK, which was good. What I really wanted to talk about was the second one. That was a Taco Bell Diablo. It was good, but didn't seem that hot. What is notable about that is that the Diablo from the bottle I got at the store seems WAAAAY hotter than the packet. It seems odd because the bottle is cold from being in the fridge, and the packet was at room temperature.
Now I can get to the current food.
Sat: This was the last of my holiday meals. I'll make a paragraph for each one. Like I did last week, I'll go from simplest to hardest.
I had a can of Great Value(WM brand) white hominy. It was good.
I had a can of generic brand olives. I had them in the fridge before I ate them. They were good.
I had a box of mini quiches I bought at ALDI. There were 3 kinds: bacon, 2 cheese, spinach. They were all good. I could taste the bacon. I could also taste the cheese some. I don't think I tasted the spinach. Here is a pic of the box I found via Google: i.ytimg.com/vi/S_gigfiO6YQ/maxresdefault.jpg
The main item I had was seafood. I first cooked a 1lb bag of shrimp using a McCormick shrimp boil bag I had in the fridge. I drank the water out of the shrimp bag, and it was good. When the shrimp was done, I added a 1lb package of imitation crab. It was good. I have 3 items to mention though. Due to the shrimp boil bag sitting in the fridge a long time, it caused the resulting liquid to have a noticeable ammonia smell. It didn't affect the taste though. I tried some of the imitation crab before putting it in the pot. It was good. It was a lot more dense than other brand(s) I've used before. It didn't come apart easily, so I ended up taring it apart. If I use that brand again, I'm going to put it on my cutting board and cut it up.
Sun: First I had some cereal and peanut butter.
My "meal" was a bag of Pepperidge Farm Goldfish Pretzels. They were good.
Mon: I had 2 snacks. First was a can of store-brand chunk chicken breast. It was good. Later, I had a bag of Circus Time popcorn I bought at WM. It was good. The pieces were smaller than usual.
My meal was fried rice and veggies using half a bag of peas. It was good plain and with my 3 items.
Tue: My meal was fried rice and veggies using half a bag of peas. It was good plain and with my 3 items.
Wed: My snack was a bag of Mexican funyuns. They were good.
My meal was 8 Parkview hotdogs from ALDI. I cooked them in the microwave. I had 4 on buns and 4 naked. I used mustard on all of them. I used some cut up onion. I also used my kimchi. On the first bun, I just had mustard on the front half, and also used onions on the back half. On the second bun I used kimchi. On the third and fourth buns, I used both onions and kimchi. On the naked hotdogs, I used the onions and/or kimchi. They were all good. There was onion pieces left, so I put them in the fridge.
My snack item was a bag of Clancy's Krinkle Cut Kettle potato chips. The flavor was Horseradish Cheddar they were good. The horseradish was the dominant flavor. It was actual horseradish because the chips had quite a bit of that type of heat.
Thu: I had 2 snacks. First was a small(3oz) bag of Andy Capp's Hot Fries. They were good. Later I had 4 crispitos(aka flautas) I got from the hot section of a grocery store. I warmed them up in the microwave before I ate them. They were good.
I got my meal at Arby's. I got 2 orders of onion rings. I warmed them up in the microwave before I ate them. They were good. I had 4 French Dip & Swiss sandwiches because I had 2 2/$6 coupons. I warmed the sandwiches up in the microwave before I ate them. They were good. I do have a bit of a negative. Each sandwich comes with a container of beef juice. In the 1st container, there was enough; and I dumped the rest in the 4th container. For the 2nd and 3rd containers, there was barely enough. I had to be stingy with my dipping. There was more than enough in the 4th container. I was able to do extended dipping.
Fri: My first snack was a Michelina's entrée. It was the Beef & Broccoli. It was good. Later, I had a bag of New York Bakery Texas Toast croutons. They were the Cheese & Garlic flavor. They were good. Much later, I had a bag of Pop Weaver popcorn. I cooked it for 1:36, and put vegetable oil in when it was done. I also added the ALDI mrs dash Table Blend. It was good. I didn't taste the mrs dash though. There were only 6 unpopped kernels. Due to falling asleep, I ended up having it after 8am.
My meal was 8 Parkview hotdogs from ALDI. I fried them in the pan. I had 4 on buns and 4 naked. I used mustard on all of them. I used some cut up onion, including the pieces left from Wed. I fried them up a bit in the pan after the hotdogs. I also used my kimchi. After I cooked the onions, I fried the buns some in the pan. On the first bun, I just had mustard on the front half, and also used onions on the back half. On the second bun I used kimchi. On the third bun, I used both onions and kimchi. Since I was low on onions, I just put kimchi on the last one. On the naked hotdogs, I used the onions and/or kimchi. The ones on buns tasted better than the naked ones. I will now explain why. When I fry the hotdogs, I like to get them burnt on the outside. That apparently doesn't work for the bun-length ones, which these were. If you don't know, that means they are skinnier and longer than regular hotdogs. This means the burnt to not ratio is greater. Also, they were less soft. For some reason, this wasn't noticeable with the hotdogs on buns. I guess the takeaway is not to fry these as long next time.
My snack item was a bag of XXXTRA Flamin' Hot Cheetos. They were good. They were a bit hot. I don't know if the heat decreases after the sell/use by date, which was Feb11 for this bag.
Sat: I had a little bit of cereal and finished a jar of peanut butter. It was a generic brand creamy. It was good.
I had my sweet snacks. I'll do a sentence or 2 for each.
I used an IHOP container of syrup to dip stuff in. I'll mention it with stuff I dipped in it. I will say here though that if you are using it, be sure to wear a shirt if you have chest/belly hair.
I had the last of the Little Debbie Donut Sticks. I put it in the fridge. It was good. This was the main item I dipped in the syrup. It was ok.
I had one of the Little Debbie Pecan Spinwheels. I put it in the fridge. It was good. I tried dipping it in the syrup, but the part that went in stayed behind.
I started the last of the candy from the big bag. It was mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. I put one in the freezer, and the rest in the fridge. They were good. I didn't finish them. The last few I had had the chocolate coming off on the brown/black inner wrapper. Usually, that is a temperature problem. When I walked past the thermostat, it said 76F, and after I was done, it was 77F; neither of which are too warm.
I have a smaller bag of candy I opened. It was Almond Joy mini bars. I had one in the freezer and the rest in the fridge. I think they didn't have much flavor. I didn't finish them. I dunked 2 of them in the syrup.
I had some more of the tiny peanut butter cups from the h/n/o store. I put some in the freezer, took some out a couple of hrs before, and the rest were out of the fridge. I think the ones that were out beforehand had the most flavor. They had a different taste from the Reese's.
That's all for the food. I will be having my meal later. There isn't any cooking involved. Just grabbing 1 thing out of the fridge, and opening other stuff. I think I need to take a second dump first; like I've done for the past few weeks.
I need to talk about the hotdogs. There was a sale on the Parkview bun-length hotdogs. It was a 3lb package for $2.49. I checked, and there were 24 hotdogs per package. That is the equivalent of $0.83 for an 8ct 1lb package. Since I'll do a week with 2 hotdog meals of 8 each, I bought 2 packages. That means I have 2 more weeks of 2 days hotdog meals.
It is now 1127 am. I got my regular and Yahoo! News reading done at 1215am. I then started typing. I took my 2-3am nap. I then got up and started typing, but was slowed down due to snacking. I kind of slowed down around 5am. I then took a big dump around 540. At 6, I tried to use a lighter to burn the hair off my belly and chest that was sticky with syrup. Mostly the result was me getting a tiny 2d burn. I then went in my bedroom and used my regular razor to shave off the sticky hair. That was successful. I then started typing again. I think right after 7 I dozed off, and I think woke up around 737. I then did some stuff then went to take my nap. I got up for 9 for MTP, typing, then trying to read during the commercials. Same from 10-1030. I then did reading from 1030-11. I now have the local current affairs show on, but I think I'm going to watch it again online due to a bunch of glitching.
See you next week.
