yay goats!

goats are awesome
they discovered coffee, which i can't live without
they provide the main ingredient to feta, which i'm glad i don't have to live without
and their babies are just so adorable i wanna scream

and to those of you who say "but all babies are adorable," i say to you "no, random reader, you are wrong!"
all babies are not adorable - it takes even the most attractive genetic cocktail of human a month or two before it's passably cute, let alone adorable
"precious" is another story (it's the tactful way of commenting on a baby that is still newborn ugly but it has the baby default of still being adorable to some)

so, well done, goats


(and, yes, i did post this now just so i wouldn't have five posts in november)

pity party of one

i hate the feeling that your partner doesn't actually care whether you're around or not
it's not like i'm asking for unbridled enthusiasm, just maybe the slightest hint of "yeah, it would be nice to see you today"
instead of "are you still gonna bake bread?"
or letting you know the same day that you should show up some time in the afternoon

i think i attract apathy

i need a drink
(... "a" dozen)

blood isn't seasoning

today's words of advice:
don't use your hand as a cutting board, cuz if the knife slips you could end up getting blood in your food, and that's just gross
i prefer iron of the leafy green variety
but not kale
kale is very green
very very green

don't sniff cayenne

those are my wisdomful words of wisdom for the day: don't sniff powdered cayenne pepper
you know, unless you want to
who am i to judge?
or if you have sinus issues, but then i suggest the liquefied version designed specifically for that

(why isn't it spelled liquified?  that makes much more sense to me - english, eh?)

kale tastes green

i just discovered that i'm not a fan of kale
it tastes very...green (and not the good kind of green, either, the healthy kind of green)
on the up side, though, it makes everything else taste better, including my spit
next time i try it (it's growing quite well in the garden, and it's supposed to be disgustingly good for you, so i may as well get used to it) maybe i'll try sips of coffee between bites
i don't take sugar in my coffee, but i'm betting it'll still taste sweeter

i also would like to get used to the taste of seaweed
i really don't like it, but it's supposed to be one of the most nutritious shit out there

room temperature beer

i love that time of year when room temperature beers are already cool enough to enjoy
(cuz my fridge is tiny and i usually forget to restock until i'm ready to drink again, and then i get mad at past-drunk-forgetful-inconsiderate-of-future-me me)
(i don't feel that was proper use of hyphens, but it looked a bit naked with nothing, so proper hyphenation be damned, i needed to clothe my labeling!)

cooler weather cuts down slightly on my self loathing
plus, i love sweaters and blankets
...and beer
(and fire)
