life update
2021-05-03 18:05I just had my first corn dog of living memory, actually a Korean one. It was everything I dreamed a hot dog covered in fried dough would be: meh.
The odd thing is that the meat 'dogs' are the cheapest from that place. Replacing it with corn or potato makes it more expensive -- I didn't buy one, but from what I was told the cheese dog would be like a cheese stick in fried dough.
I toasted oatmeal yesterday. It made a pleasant difference. Not sure if it made enough of one to be worth a 5 minute setup if I don't make it in bulk.
Bought a pineapple from the grocery truck. $5! No idea if that's cheap or not. Good, though also a lot of pineapple... damn, I picked up real groceries today, and I should have thought to get potato chips and cottage cheese, for the nostalgia mix.
Between vaccine and CDC advice, I've been bolder outdoors, and ate out (outside, unenclosed) on a walk Saturday. I still feel I'd like to have my mask brace on before spending any significant time inside; I found an ice cream place yesterday ("Dolly Llama") but backed out when I found I'd have to wait in a stuffy interior.
Recent books: The Logic of Life; Soul Music; Regarding Saeki Sayaka vols 1 and 2; God Stalk (for a discussion group, none of whom liked it much; Aral Vorkosigan's Dog; Leaf By Niggle (sometimes Tolkien did like allegory). Currently reading The Undercover Economist.
Wishing my A/C wasn't a piece of shit. My host says he's trying to find a replacement. I'm here for another 6 weeks but between vaccine and summer I think it's getting time to move on, even if it's just to a cheaper LA room.
