Well, I may have started off the day listless and sad but things sure turned around come night time.
I remembered the pint of Peanut Butter and Fudge Brownie ice cream I had in the fridge. I threw some extra chocolate chips into it and had several spoonfuls, satiating my craving for chocolate. I immediately felt much better.
I then followed through with my craving for Korean food and ordered an accidental feast. I forgot Koreans tend to eat family style. I think this is the last time I’ll be ordering food in LA since this is enough to last me the rest of the week.
Rogue thought: I sometimes wonder if I have misophonia, and I’m hesitant to say that because it’s a real disorder people experience that a lot of folks tend to casually diagnose themselves with but I’ve felt very intensely towards noises all around me lately (but some very specific ones as opposed to others). But maybe it’s just the thin walls of the apartment. My headphones have been coming in handy.
The meal. Big yum and also a candle for ~ambience~
I cleared off my lazy susan palette and turned it into a turning meal table. My first time doing this, actually. It made the meal feel a lot more authentic since I was picking at several things at once. I ordered mixed spicy chewy noodles, fried pork dumplings, and hand cut noodles with chicken broth. Oh, and Korean sausage. It was delicious, though I will say I was hoping for a little more with the sausage. It’s a blood sausage mixed with a lot of stuff, including glass noodles. They tasted more like noodles that had been wrapped in a casing with a bit of flavor. Tasty, but not quite the texture or taste I was hoping for. Wanted some more meat. It makes me wonder what a full fledged blood sausage would be like. As for everything else, seriously, so good. I’m looking forward to working through it the next few days.
Clearer picture of the spread. I also put beer in my sake flask to try and savor it during the meal. Worked great
I decided to tackle my once a week movie goal while eating dinner. I chose Vampire Hunter D (1985). It did not disappoint, a nicely paced demon and vampire slaughtering romp with heart. Now it makes me want to jump into the manga series but… do I really want to make that kind of commitment? I still haven’t returned to Berserk but something tells me Vampire Hunter D won’t be as traumatizing. I don’t buy physical volumes anyway since that’d be so much money but we’ll see. I’m gonna try and watch the other movie Bloodlust sometime soon too. I’m contemplating watching it tonight but maybe I could save it for some Friday night fun🧛♂️
This became an unintentional but welcome date night for myself. I haven’t taken myself out on a date in a long time, even prior to quarantine. It felt good. I got to eat delicious food, watch a good film, and now I’m going to shower and do my curly hair routine. Shoot, I even caught myself in the mirror a couple of times and thought I looked nice despite feeling gross earlier.🔝
P.S. This is important. Good words to contemplate. Right at the 8:52 mark. It keeps repeating in my head so now it’ll be in yours too.
