The highest level of mental functioning to which I personally can aspire

is putting rice in the rice cooker for in the morning, even though I'm not hungry right now.

Call-out post: my sisters.

* live in a city which has multiple Korean grocery stores

* can basically drive in cities without getting disoriented/freaking out (I cannot)

* refuse to pick up some kimchi for me on the clearly erroneous basis that it is "gross" and "smelly"

* have no sense of smell

* seriously, none whatso-fucking-ever, I have done science

* 100% CANNOT smell the kimchi and as such have no basis for complaining that it smells bad

* it doesn't anyway

* should bring me kimchi, I will pay them back

[summoning ritual]

Another fool-proof method of bribing me, if anyone wants to try this out, is to completely fill my freezer with channa saag.

You know how you get songs caught in your head

Do other people get odors caught in their noses

Nonexistent ones

For days/weeks at a time

(Right now it's the Expandcut for gross/body horror )

I got a new coffee-dripper, and it's both easier to use than the old one (smaller and lighter, has a functional handle) and more attractive. I have been making more coffee because it pleases me to use the small, dainty coffee-dripper in a way that it did not to use the big clunky stained one.

I thought a minute ago, sadly, "adulthood. Man. If I'm going to get excited about material objects, they should at least have, like, lasers or something."

Then I remembered that I spent something like six hours the other day looking at 3D printing sites specifically for reasons relating to 1) my thoughts on Steven Universe toys and cosplay, 2) dollhouses, and 3) my aspiration to make a robot to bug my cat with. And I would get very attached to specific bowls and pillowcases and stuff as a kid, too. So, not much has actually changed.

Very belated culinary discovery

When out of cold-brew coffee, hot-brewing directly onto ice cubes produces something similarly low-acid!

People have made a lot of worrying remarks on the tea lies post, but the only ones that actually offend me are the people who talk shit about pu erh. How fucking dare.

Another danger of bioperine:

If an un-coated tablet gets caught on the back of your tongue it will BURN.

I did this two days ago and it still stings.

me: Man why am I shaking, I haven't even had any caffeine this afternoon, in fact all I've eaten today is applesauce and a piece of bread, so this shouldn't

me: Okay

The purchase I'm happiest with this week is a large bag of ginger cookies from Big Lots.

I also bought bras, because the two wearable ones I have are maybe ten years old. But let's be real: I'm probably going to hate or quickly ruin the new ones, as has happened every time I have purchased a bra since college. I will never stop wearing these same two apparently-immortal bras.

I used to have a white one and a blue one and a yellow one; I don't know which one I lost. The remaining two are now the same color.

Help me, food scientists.

Is there any general overall difference between shiny, smooth-skinned apples and matte, rough-skinned ones in terms of taste and texture? Or am I just an Apple Hipster who thinks shiny apples are gross because Aesthetic?

have accidentally dyed the cat

I use too much turmeric and don't always wipe the counter down, and now obviously his white spots are orange. Stay off the counter, dumbass.

Another entry in today's unfortunate stream-of-semiconsciousness-blogging

Also I was running out of pu erh (is the portion of my life force not comprised by sencha) and ordered a new cheap cake thereof, but then forgot I had done so. And then I failed to go out and check the mailbox for a few days, as I do when I get into this state. So of course the tea came and sat out in the heat for days, and I condemned myself to fermented tea hell for committing one of the cardinal fermented tea sins.

How to Throw a Tantrum

me: *is sitting on couch*

me, thinking: Fuck this fucking heat I'm sick of summer already! I'm going to buy a hammock, some indoor mounting hardware for the hammock, and maybe some mint extract for use in making flavored lemonade!

me: *puts items in Amazon cart while still sitting quietly on couch, then removes mint because it's probably cheaper at Food City*

Help me, food chemists.

What is the sort of blunt metallic/rusty taste that's in both

1) stale old green and oolong tea,

and

2) canned green beans

?
