Endless Ends

Do you need full spectrum or black light LEDs for this effect? Cause regular old LED can be just regular lights you know.

Black light LEDs presumably.

I was not exactly in the mood to ask for details.

Food has been on my mind of late:

-Vegetable cakes are a thing. I'm not just talking about carrot or zucchini cake. At least, they're a thing in Britain. Not so much in the US.

-Cheese and Onion and Pie?

-It is possible to cook with tofu.*


*I've always had my doubts about the last one.

So, wildlife story . . . yeah, I don't remember what number I'm at.

Last night, the SO went to be early. About ten minutes later I hear what sounds like a loud thunk on the floor above. Loud enough that I went to the bottom of the stairs.

Me: Are you okay?
SO: Yeah . . . .

Needles to say, this did not fill me with confidence.

Me: What happened?
SO: You don't want to know.
Me:

No words could have sent me sprinting up the stairs faster.

I get up there and the SO is stumbling around, looking for something. He grabs a cloth, and is being remarkably evasive supplying information. Eventually I realized we were talking about some . . . thing.

Me:
Me: Lizard?! Spider?! Snake?!

He keeps saying No. Then, it clicked.

Me: SCORPION?!

He nods.

SO: If fell out from around the AC vent onto the bed, landing on the covers on top of my thigh.
Me: *has a hard time breathing while body considers an aneurysm*

SO: I've been thinking I should seal around those grates.
Me:

Me: You mean you knew this was a possibility? You knew?!
SO: Well, there is that one tree that hangs well over the house.

I will spare you the scene that followed.

It was about 4am when I decided the couch was just too uncomfortable.

Most house pests don’t rattle me. They might startle me, but I can cope with most bugs, mice, snakes, bats, etc.

On my hell fucking no list: cockroaches, silverfish, and scorpions. Ugh.

I have friends in Texas who nonchalantly shake every towel they take off a hanging bar or shelf. When I inquired about it, they informed me it’s just a habit they always do to ensure there aren’t any scorpions hiding in the towels

Being a suburban and city baby, my experience with scorpions has been extremely limited. Since my little flutter last year when there was a bumper crop out here and I managed to get stung THREE TIMES I might be a leetle paranoid.

Scorpion PTSD.

Wood roaches. *whole body shudder*

I realize they are just wandering through, and don't spread disease or infest houses, but those things are so

 

[Endless_Night]

I still feel hydrogen splitting transportation is the way to go.

Hell yeah.

-It is possible to cook with tofu.*

No. Just say no.

*I've always had my doubts about the last one.

The doubts are real.

see above. No.

I made Orange Chicken.

Substitute tofu for the chicken.

It was surprisingly edible. Good, even.

That’s just fried tofu. Which can be marvelous. I thought you meant to have it in a cheese and onion pie. Which is a horrifying thought.

 

[investor2020]

Just curious . . . how many soybeans do you have to kill to get tofu ??

 

[Apisto42]

How much tofu do you want?

 

[LadyLascivious1]

How much tofu do you want?

Zero

 

[Endless_Night]

I feel like I might be destined to be alone in trying to gain some appreciation for tofu.

No, I love their Godzilla movies. They’re great!

Hey! I fully support cooking tofu in Chinese recipes- I’ve had some really delicious dishes made with tofu. My issue with it is when Americans try to use it to replace meat in dishes it doesn’t belong. It’s usually (always?) done poorly.

Noted.

Tofu is just such a weird food to me. I didn't grow on it or around it, and people talking about it as "plant protein" just made it seem even weirder. Not that it necessarily should have, but . . . it did.

Just curious . . . how many soybeans do you have to kill to get tofu ??

I am now wondering. How many soybeans does it take to get a packet of tofu?

During a conversation with The Bestie last week she told me I acted as a catalyst for some people.

A remark that left me somewhat nonplussed.

I've heard a few people say that about themselves in my time. Invariably it means one thing. They are jack***es and trying to foist responsibility for how others respond to their behavior away from themselves.

After mulling things over a couple of days, I questioned her on meaning.

She says that's not what she meant.

But.

I'm still kind of wondering.

 

[Endless_Night]

Also, new word.

Ultracrepidarian.

 

[hotwords229_A]

I know all about this.

What did she mean? I can see how being a catalyst could be positive, like being an inspiration, motivator, coach, etc.

Or “Jesus Christ, your life choices have led to this? I’m going to make better choices!”

But probably not in Endless’ case.

It seems it had to do with what she often terms my brutal honesty and behavior expectations of others.

Still not exactly a compliment.

Or “Jesus Christ, your life choices have led to this? I’m going to make better choices!”

But probably not in Endless’ case.

Au contraire!

I am practically a poster child for poor life choices.

 

[Endless_Night]

Allrighty.

I'm curled on the couch, kicking off my pre-Halloween movie watching a day early. Mostly because I stumbled across something that can only prove to be hysterical.

I have no indication there is gratuitous nudity - a grave disappointment, I know.

But.

This one's for you, Muscles. (aka @hotwords229_A)

Rippy: The Red

Not only is it horror (undead kangaroo, no less ), it's also Osploitation.

I did not know that last was a thing.

 

[Endless_Night]

Ummm.

This isn't a spoof. It's an actual horror movie.

With an enormous zombie roo.

Not gonna lie. This is a bit traumatizing.

 

[Endless_Night]

Oh! Oh! Oh!

Surprise ending!

Zombism is zoonotic.
