Bubbles

   Hnnnnngggggg we're so delicious. DELICIOUS. To these demon spitty blood sucking assholes that wouldn't even be a thing if we just had some BATS around here to negate our neighbors POND. It's fine.

Summer is a nightmare; Reason #32

They especially like Chicken. 

We have citronella candles, those frumpy bracelets that look like phone cords, and burners. Those assholes still feast on our blood. And it's not even all of them. It's just the females. I hate them. They're worse than the caterpillars that were eating my petunias.

hm. 

ok lool no. but summer's end has never felt so far. I just want to freeze and climb under the covers and gurgle. 

 And with summer ending, autumn comes with abundance of sweater weather, pumpkin everything at Trader Joe's, and the rest of the country accepting grim decor as the norm. The places I've gone to for decor shopping haven't yet put out their seasonal wares. Grr.. It's fine. We already have decor up, but I just want more of it? aaaaaannnnnd Animal Crossing! I can't wait to see what they'll bring to Animal Crossing. It's been 2 months since I've bothered playing. And this is why;

 I had to replace this fat pos battery that wouldn't hold a charge, or allow my shell to shut properly. During the move, I misplaced the replacement battery, so I held it off until recently. All fixed! If your battery's fat, don't use it and replace it asap. No bueno, could go boom. You can tell by looking at the seams of the shell on the edges, and can absolutely feel it. It's not hard, just an absolute pain in the ass because the adhesive doesn't give very easily. You need a flat, sturdy, long but flexible tool to pry under the battery and slowly pry it up. Ugh. Took forever, but CROSSING IS A GO.

oMg, Chicken and I put together a bunch of random shit to eat with the huacatay sauce I prepared and it was the most amazing thing ever.

hnnnnnnnnnnggggg. It's nothing crazy. I had him prep my seasoned rice, he grilled the flank steak and a jalapeño, and I made my mom's seasoned green beans with eggs. Soft boiled some eggs and yummy huacatay alllllll ovvveerrrrrr. Mmmmpf. So good.

Brother Lifa joined us for one last hurrah before he had to go do stuff.

Lifa prepared his perfect, sexy hand crafted ice that becomes virtually invisible in any drink like this red Gaston disney drink. It's magical. Note the unicorn.

I had shown him a Disney cocktails list with all the ingredients and how they'd look. So he went out and got a bunch of stuff to make some of them. Even ginger liquor. For a drink inspired by that bad dude in Mulan (animated)
Ya... no clue that existed.

 Brother Lifa blessed us with the most delicious galbi. Mmpf. While Chicken grilled some hot dogs to perfection, with of course our spicy friends jalapeño and habanero :D

The peppers were so good and crunchy that I'm inclined to start growing them. The smoky flavor just... mmmpff. Hurtssssooogood

Spicy, delicious friends

 Poor Brother Lifa. He dipped a chip and got a big scoop of the queso sauce we had out, but he didn't know it was ghost pepper. It's cool, he assimilated later into the night. Dis a spicy haus.

 The disrespek. He whips this out at 6pm for 20 minutes every day because he has to raid lmao

So, IS THAT A BO- no it's a hookah. For watermelon mint shisha! Because we're noobs lol

posterboy for mississippi mud

 Lifa made cheesesteaks. The best cheesestakes ever, probably. Made even better with huacatay hnnnnggg

 Pretty soon, Chicken started flexing his leet bubble skillz

 No one could keep up. He was too pro

 rekt

 He was so pro, he just started blowing bubbles out of a can. Who does that?

 And then just, y'know, leaving smoke bubbles on the table. It's whatevs.

fam - cynth + clown eyebrows = this picture

 Ah yes, this drink. The WARLORD. It's like, goofy, but cool lol

Balance the sake on chopsticks; we used skewers because our chopsticks were too cute for this, yes all of them, all of them were too cute for this,

we all count down, pound the table, and shotgun the drink.

BRUH BY THIS POINT I WAS SO FUUUUULLLLLLL from all of the food. Homdre was like LETS MAKE S'MEESES and I dipped. Went upstairs and straight to bed.

Sigh.  If it's not caterpillars, it's some irresponsible, over-zealous couple lighting the state on fire and getting ash all over my petunias.

They've been wilting every since because not only is it hot, but they love the sun and the sun is nowhere to be found :) Which normally isn't something I'd care about, but my children. Who already exist. Need nourishment.

So Chicken observed my saltyness, and took it upon himself to get a grow light for the babies.

 First, it was just the herbs that dried up, except for the basil :))))

 Then it was all of them lol.

He noticed they were moving, so he set up a camera to document their growth xD

Baby Sarlacc is um, still in intensive care, but his roots are growing back nice and strong. Except, he's still emaciated. So I'm trying something that other haworthia peeps did with theirs; water therapy. I think he's super thirsty. I can't get him to drink when I water him. Or maybe it's not enough? But I'm afraid of root rot again, so ... idk. We'll see if this works.

 He's being held over a small bowl of filtered water in a way so that only his roots are kind of submerged. This just got started, so in a few days I'll see if I drowned him :D

 Chicken has gone full on plant dad.

He's looking into getting a shelf with planters, and already got another grow light. He's putting me to shame lolol. But it's cute, he comes down every few hours to just observe them ^_^ hee

This book that Chicken got me is... man. It makes me mad lol. I'm learning that there was much more going on. The author asks the same questions I do; why the hell isn't this talked about more? why isn't it taught in schools? It's asinine. Took him 9 years to write this book because of all of the data he had to acquire, which wasn't easy to begin with because assholes (both Japanese and American) destroyed and hid so much of the evidence. It wasn't until later that former workers came forward and confessed. -that part I knew, but his retelling of everything he did and his contacts. Damn. Why's Japan still a little bitch about their past? Utterly gross.

How did I even learn about this? 

Actually, no one ever told me about it. Funny enough, a billion years ago, someone on facebook had posted a really graphic youtube video. It was a clip out of one of those old really gross, shcok-factor exploitation movies from back in the day. But the thumbnail was striking enough that I clicked on it. I think the person was trying to just be shocking to people. He didn't really preface it with anything.

Anywho, in the clip, a woman was in shackles outside during the winter, with two soldiers at her side. They had her extend her arms out, then proceeded to do horrible things to her.

The latter half of the clip was similar, but inside what seemed to be some kind of medical room, with an audience of several doctors looking onto a "patient" who was told to extend their arms- subjected to an awful "experiment"

I was so grossed out and was like wtf is this shit? Why am I watching this!? It was infuriating. But I couldn't look away because the mood of it, while extremely horrible, felt... believable. Serious. Documentary-like, even. I looked at the information for the clip- it was taken from a film called Men Behind the Sun. I was like WTF is this shit real?? 

And yeah. My curiosity led me to researching the events of that facility. That was one of several, but was the headquarters. So much evil. Fucking.. just... one of the worst atrocities known. Being kept on the down low. Ugh.

It's still a better read than Lolita, which I can't finish btw.

ANYWHO. ON THAT NOTE, HAPPY FRIDAY.

Blow the best bubble you can, in your heart. You can do it. I believe in you.

Snot bubbles count.

How do those even work

that's so gross lol who does that

I wanna try it

okay bye !

WEAR A MASK ok bye
