  1. I drench everything in Sriracha where appropriate. I wouldn't say that I have a high heat tolerance, but it's higher than most people I know. 

    I guess when I go to Buffalo Wild Wings, the hottest I can tolerate is Hot, which is like their fourth hottest sauce. But I wouldn't go to a Thai restaurant and order something labeled "Adventurous."

    But I'm also coming up on 30 and my gut is getting more sensitive. If I eat the wrong kind of hot sauce or if the sauce was too hot for my stomach, let's just say it lets me know.

  2. Leftover spaghetti. And one bite of pizza before I stopped eating the pizza because the crust was like leather. That was something like 15 hours ago.

    I just drank like a liter of coffee. I don't feel any less tired, though. I guess that's life sometimes.

  3. I'm playing Skyrim again. This time I'm completely ignoring the Dragonborn quest line and just improving skills, doing side quests, making money, and exploring the game. 

    I don't use fast travel except to go to the holds. So I have only a handful of locations to which I fast travel and kick rocks the rest of the way. It's a self imposed rule. I'm also using Frostfall. 

    This time, I've gone for high armor and low health so I spent a lot of time improving my armor skills and investing in smithing and my load out. I'm something of a red mage. I'm a swordsman, but I also cast a lot of healing spells. But I have a darkness mod that makes travel at night almost impossible so Night Eye is super useful for staking out a campsite. I'm also mining a lot of iron because I got Transmute so I can convert it all to gold and smith it into rings. I also cast Equilibrium a lot so I carry no potions. It's a cool way to play because you're not stopping the action to drink 12 potions in a row.

    Also, I determined if you want to make money in this game, be female. I found that most of the merchants you deal with are men and Allure in the Speech tree gives you 10% better prices when bartering with the opposite sex. I spend most of my time in Whiterun. The merchants I deal with most are Farengar, Adrienne, Ulfberth, Eorland, and Belethor. Only one of them is a woman. Clavicus Vile's Masque also helps

    Out of all the Legend of Zelda series, Wind Waker is my favorite. I don't like Ocarina of Time, or Twilight Princess but I think Ocarina of Time is better than Twilight Princess. I never heard of Majora's Mask before. 

    I never understood all the hate WW got. It is so pretty and the one Zelda game that doesn't look like crap 20 years later, if we're talking original releases.

    I also just love the art direction of WW. 

  5. If you can't guess based on my ava, yeah.

    I have never not loved Wind Waker, even when it was popular to not love Wind Waker. It's my favorite. I have my original version. The game has aged so well. Sailing the ocean is such a relaxing thing that this was the first game I ever played where I avoided fast travel unless I needed it. I adore the soundtrack. The last fight with Ganon isn't all that great though. Ocarina did it WAY better. It's good and they do a good job of setting this really dark tone, but the fight itself is a solid 6/10.

    Ocarina will always have a special place in my heart. It's a near perfect balance of challenging puzzles and memorable bosses. I'm not totally in love with the soundtrack here but there are some real bangers here. 

    Breath of the Wild is just brilliant. I also found out how much I love and hate climbing. Running out of stamina on a long upward climb is a total omae wa mou moment. 

    A Link to the Past is the best top-down 2D Zelda in my experience. 

    The first two I've played, but always found pretty difficult. Zelda II is down right punishing. 

    I love the aesthetic of Twilight Princess, even if the game hasn't aged incredibly well (my opinion there). Midna is probably my favorite Zelda character ever. 

    I still need to give Majora's Mask a serious run one day. Same with Skyward Sword. I'm not in love with having to use motion controls though. If they make a more traditional control scheme and port to Switch, count me in.

    HOLY SHRIMP! YOU LIKE AIRPLANE! I'm glad there's someone who watched Airplane! movie. :-)
     

    And don't call me Shirley!

    My man. Probably my favorite two parts in the movie are:

    "...and that led to my drinking problem."

    *Dumps cup of juice all over himself*

     

    And

     

    "Smoking or non-smoking?"

    "Smoking."

    *Hands him a ticket that is literally billowing smoke."

     

    My roommate in college introduced me to that movie and I couldn't believe I'd never seen it before. Leslie Nielsen was also a treat in that movie. 

    You ever watched Young Frankenstein too? It's a lot like Airplane!

    "Perhaps I could help you with that hump."

    "What hump?"

    DEAD

  7. The Shawshank Redemption, hands down.

    Others are The Hangover, Deadpool, Skyfall, Spirited Away, Jurassic Park, The Green Mile, Spaceballs, Airplane!, Young Frankenstein, and others. 

    I also have fond memories of What Dreams May Come.

    It wouldn't even be fair to list some of my favorite Disney animated movies. Tarzan, Mulan, Aladdin, The Lion King, The Princess and the Frog, The Little Mermaid, Treasure Planet, and The Emperor's New Groove.

    I'll always have a soft spot for The Rescuers and The Great Mouse Detective. 

    The opening scene of Oliver & Company always makes me teary.

  9. My partner and I bought our condo last spring. I was in between jobs at the time so all the extra time I had went to packing and moving what I could. 

    Word to the wise: don't buy a 300 pound sleeper sofa then live on the second floor. 

    We're probably going to stay here a few years, five at most. Do some renovations and finally build equity in something as opposed to throwing away all our money on rent with a landlord who might get to things whenever they feel like it. Now, WE are our own landlords. It's hella empowering. 

    But it's too small to have kids or a dog so we're eventually going to buy something bigger with a yard.

    What I always hate about moving is that I always find out just how much extra crap we have. Our condo is like 60% the size of our old rent house and we had to get rid of a lot of extra stuff. We threw away about 1,500 pounds of junk that couldn't be recycled or donated. It was astonishing. It also felt pretty cathartic to just let it go. 10/10 recommend. 

    Still, I hate moving with every fiber of my being. I've done it probably 7 times since moving away from my hometown. So if future moves can be kept to a minimum, that'd be ideal. 

  10. Currently 7°C. Overcast. Might rain, might not. Calm winds. A cold front came from the west last night. Today, it will be 10°C, falling to 0°C overnight. 

    Yesterday's high was 23°C. It was a beautiful day. 

  11. No earthly idea haha

    "You know what is was like for me? I had nobody. Everybody left. I knew all those showbiz phonies would turn on me, sure. But you?"

    "It's not my fault you got fired."

    "I don't care about the job!! I did fine! I had a good life! But what I needed then was a friend. And you abandoned me. And I will never forgive you for that. Now get the fuck out of my house."

  12. My neighbor with the subwoofer.

    The wet bar that really has no use in 2020. My condo is only 1,000 square feet so it's not big enough to actually entertain guests and there's no need for it. The space would be better used as a pantry, but it's good for making coffee. 

    High association dues. But I really get A LOT of value out of my association, so it's a minor pick.

    Nail pop in some of the drywall. And all of the walls are textured so it's an extra step to have to take if a section of drywall is ever replaced.

    I was in a hurry to paint this place last summer when I bought it, and the shortcuts I took are incredibly obvious to me. Some of my paint lines look like crap, especially where the grey walls meet the white ceiling.

    The carpet is in rough shape. Also, so much carpet. I'd rather have vinyl or laminate. So much easier to clean, especially when the cats feel barfy.
