2021.06.20 18:46 - first metric century!!!
I rode my first metric century on the Guelph-2-Goderich Trail yesterday in big sky country. Or as big as the sky gets in southern Ontario, anyways. Specifically, I rode to Millbank and back again. It was great until my legs felt like they were gonna die in the last 30km, and the bug bites that have my left hand really swollen right now.

I biked my first half metric century today! That took me from Guelph to Hamilton-ish, via Smokey Hollow Falls. My moving speed averaged around 15km/h, although there were some nice flat bits where I kept up at about 30km/h for quite a while. I would like to hit 100km by the end of summer, but I think I will need to train on more rolling terrain first.

 And then I called Shivani to bitch about certain work people and we ended up yakking for three hours straight about cheese and pasta and fandom. And we call ourselves introverts.

I thought I was too jaded to enjoy shipping anymore but it turns out that I can still feel the weird rush of getting into a ship in an ongoing work, even when I the writers have already totally jossed it. Thinking about it makes me smile. 

My long weekend starts this Friday and goes to Monday, so I've got a lot of cycling to look forwards to :)

I tried to take my cat out on a walk because he seemed very interested in the outdoors. We made it to the stairwell and he peed on my leg. That's about as far as we made it last time, before fear got to his bladder, too.

2021.05.13 20:12 - Swedish conspiracy chairs
Well, we sure are getting our money's worth out of that balcony furniture. Classy bitches eating McDingles and drinking cider on on the Swedish conspiracy chairs. The cat winding himself around the chair legs, purring malevolently, as if he could ever convince us to deign to bless him with a wayward fry. But it was not meant to be. No, he forfeited his spud privileges long ago, on the day that I gave him a fry, he ran away with it, and then dropped it uneaten into the water bowl.

If anything worth doing is difficult, isn't it worth getting all emotionally invested in, too? 

I'm very much looking forwards to taking the bike out geocaching on Saturday.

Ginger Milk Curd - made it too soft, still tasty, maybe need fresher ginger or more ginger juice to curdle the milk properly?

Chocolate roll cake - note to self, don't triple the whipped cream filling or you will feel real dumb

Sausage rolls - A bit firm, needs more yeast, still frakkin addictive

GARLIC FRIED RICE - MY ONE TRUE LOVE. 

--

Future adventures: idk, more egg tarts?

2021.04.30 22:38 - Lore overload

Okay I didn't think anyone was actually going to read all six thousand words of my lore dump for the upcoming game. But I think they all did. Except Krogoth, who reads slow, but he's playing a Colonial, so honestly that makes sense.  

Also last night I dreamed I was doing origami in a library with a sexy medical student who looked a lot like Steven Yuen. I'm sure I've dreamed that library before. He tucked an orange orchid behind my ear and told me I was pretty. Then, we made plans to meet up downtown. I was wandering around Queen Street when it started raining. I fled towards the Bloor-Danforth line, but that far north, the city turned into a jungle. Then I woke up. A real bummer that I didn't a second date with Proto-Dr. Not-Yuen.

I can't sleep and I have a burning craving for garlic fried rice. But I already had garlic fried rice for dinner today! It's 2AM!

Ya, no, says my stomach. Feed me fried garlic, mortal. Or you will learn the true meaning of agony. 

I must stay strong. I cannot give in. I must stay faithful to my one true love, cheese. Only then can I prevail - 

Garlic rice! Now!  

Yessir, how many eggs would you like with that?

2021.04.25 13:12 - Strawberry roll cake
Not really much of an update. Went to Ikea on Saturday to pick up a folding table for the balcony. On the way, tried to go to Krispy Kreme, but the drive-thru line was an hour and a half long, WTF. On the plus side, we also picked up some hot dog buns, eggggggg tarts, and a strawberry roll cake. I think we will be trying to make hot dog buns later. 

After setting up the table on the balcony we proceeded to eat cajun wings, calamari, and onion wings on top of it. 

Oh also the halfling rogue died about five hours after I ate the wings so that was pretty gutting. 

Then Yoshi spent the night alternatingly tokyo drifting, and singing the song of his people whilst perched on the top level of the cat tree.
