PSA: If your breakfast burrito recipe includes 'scramble the eggs', it is wrong.
Here is how you breakfast burrito:
- Get some good chorizo.
- Fry it in pan. Don't you dare drain it.
- Remove chorizo from pan. Leave grease there. Don't touch it.
- Fry shredded potatoes in the delicious chorizo grease.
- Pour lightly beaten eggs over it all, and add the chorizo back in, along with some green chile.
- Mix it until it coalesces into a slightly crumbly foodmass.
- Serve with cheese in tortillas.
Overheard at the bike shop for why someone is bringing his bike in for service: “It shifts like a Wal-Mart...”

Possibly the best indicator of mild (cold/flu) levels of unwell is one's growing inability to fight against autocorrect.
If you fyi yourself taking about nonsensical things age don't have the will to fig it, go back to bed.

That is all
Exercise is a really effective antidepressant. I walked four blocks, bought a bunch of meat pies, and walked back and just the walk has made me feel quite a lot better than I have been. (no, I haven't eaten the meat pies yet, and no, i do not take enough advantage of living in walking distance of a British delicatessen)
I hate being depressing and stressful to deal with. I’m sorry I’ve been so negative lately, I’ll keep working on changing my focus.
mental health
I don’t feel dysphoric enough or socialist enough to feel welcome in the social spaces I’m most closely associated with

Artist: So, uh, I've got this sketch of a demon at a synthesizer keyboard for the heavy metal slash new wave band I never quite got together
Writer: Excellent, just stick it on a dot matrix printer and add a paper trail streaming out from Earth like it's a rocket
Artist: I dunno man, I mean this is computer hardware you're selling not LSD
Writer: It's the 80s, same thing

#meta #tea: Remember, from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, that machine that "invariably delivered a cupful of liquid that was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea"?
Only decades after reading that, in an office in another country, did I first meet an older British "tea" machine. It could, in theory, produce chocolate, coffee, or tea; but invariably delivered a cupful of brown liquid that was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike any of them.
And I said, "Oh THAT'S what he meant."
@Jacel Ask them if they’re recruiting developers.
I’ve gotten myself into a match of this iOS game called “Subterfuge”, which is apparently a relative of Diplomacy that plays out in real time over a week. I’m not going to last two days, it’s going to be *awesome*
@Taylor Toolbox software (RPG Maker, Twine, etc.) is a gateway drug for game development. Toolboxes are fantastic within their domain and then you want to do something it’s not designed for and it can’t help you and you get frustrated at it and want to learn something more versatile; eventually, the last “something” is “general-purpose computer programming”. No shame in using it until it seems like less trouble to learn the next skill than to keep fighting against the tool limitations.
