You guys wanna hear about darthsenio_mall's day? sick okay

It started with an unknowably long period of sleep paralysis during which I saw a person made of shadow-material lean over me and reach a hand of skinny long shadow fingers toward my face. Cliche af I know, truly a whole ass slenderman ass style bitch. At least it wasn't wearing a fuckin hat. Just as the hand was about to touch the surface of my eyeballs I realized my bed sheet was kinda in my open mouth so I focused on that feeling and it brought me out of sleep paralysis just in time to go "YRRRAHHHHHHHHH!" out of pure terror. Like, actually out loud for a change and not just that thing where you think you yelled but you were actually still sleeping and it was all in your head. 1/10 experience at the time 10/10 in retrospect, very cool and interesting shit.

Then I went to the store and marveled that not a single fucking person out of like easily over a hundred was wearing a mask, an experience I have about once a week. We DO have to live our lives after all and it isn't like covid is a totally novel and comically transmissible illness with myriad poorly understood and enduring symptoms that last long after the infection and compound upon each other across repeated infections and that probably damages your immune system permanently. It will never go away so I might as well go to the bar every night while making a vacuum cleaner noise with my mouth as I try to set a new record for most saliva vapor-laden air sucked in a single sitting. Oh shit look some free gum on the sidewalk excuse me while I plank.

Then I got home and watched the end of some Soviet movie that seemed pretty dope on Hextube, followed by Kung Fu Panda 3(?) which sorry, was total and utter dog shit for toddlers and nothing else and had 0 redeeming qualities. The joke really is that he's fat and even worse than that it's never even funny. It's cool China apparently likes it a lot and I can dig that for reasons outlined in a video someone posted subsequently. Someone in chat said "this (the KF pandas) is a good series for babysitting" in a way that sounded like it was from experience and I liked that.

Then I made kenji's falafel and tahini sauce , big somewhat a waste of time but a learning experience nonetheless. I learned that my deep fry thermometer is trash and that tahini sauce is, imo, not good. I also made chef john's tzatziki which WAS good so not a total bust. The falafel definitely woulda been better if I had food-processored it a bit more finely and also if my oil wasn't +10,000 degrees when the thermometer said 250f. Also that recipe calls for easily twice as much salt as any human could possibly desire. It was Morton coarse kosher and I weighed it. Not the first time a recipe has called for drastically too much salt, not sure why places (especially popular ones like Serious Eats?!?) are so often so severely wrong about salt. Like yes I get it you're the bomb at cooking and vibing out such things is second nature, but you have an insane platform and list an extremely specific amount so why are you not double checking things like that?

Anyway 6/10 day, a DRASTIC improvement over previous days. I'd give it a 5.5/10.
