A random non-chronological sample from The Random Last-Minute Winter Break Hangout Thing™, featuring Jon, Cassie (@express-yourselves), Amelia (@theglitterynight), and Justin (@zerofire):
- Box of candy canes knocked to ground, dozens injured.
- Mitsuwa virginity stolen. Tried taiyaki and creamyaki for the first time.
- Lego Zombie-Killer Squad kidnapped from GSP.
Fun Fact: There’s enough oil left over in cold leftover pizza that frying it on medium for a few minutes will get it hot again and, more importantly, crispy. My dad told me about this. This guy here has the interesting take on it of putting a tin foil cover over the pizza to keep in the moisture.
Also, I’m terrible, or at least really, and very much terribly inexperienced with cooking, so in the past I’ve ended up burning a few more slices than I should have (read: every single one before these).

My dad likes finding a good deal, like a sale.
He also likes candy.
This is the result.

Second place to Pocky, imo. Only chocolate-y thing I like that I can find in the Filipino store.

Fuck yes.
In other news, I’m rereading World War Z because it’s amazingly well-written, glaringly idiotic initial decisions made by the US Military aside. I read that it’s currently being adapted into a film, and looking at what the screenplay writer has done, can’t tell whether or not it’ll be good. Looking at the fact that it’s written as an oral history, along with the immense amount of characters spread around the globe, it looks tricky to adapt. I think it would’ve worked out better as some sort of series.

Just so you know, there actually is a fruit that changes how you taste a good number of things, particularly sour and spicy foods, but it looks nothing like a photoshopped watermelon. It’s named synsepalum dulcificum, and while the name is a mouthful(it’s also called the miracle fruit, sweet berry, etc), the berry itself is quite small, but it’s nothing much if you eat it by itself by yourself. It’s apparently best to have a sort of “flavor-tripping party”, so it’ll be a shared experience, as this NY times article can testify. Guests came to the consensus that “limes were candied, vinegar resembled apple juice, and goat cheese tasted like cheesecake”, or as it says here, beer can taste like chocolate, while hot sauce can taste like a donut.
It’s been around for a while, it’s not illegal, and it has no known side-effects. Problem is, it’s a bit hard to get these, and at that, it’s $2 per berry. In any case, fuck. I’d still wanna try this out.
My mom got some brownies for my sister and I. My sister thought it was odd that my milk-to-chocolate ratio leans more in the direction of tiny-fricking-glass-to-two-fucking-stacks-of-chocolate-brownie-chocolate-chip-filled-heaven.
Oh and today’s my first second day out of school. All that’s left is for me to probably drop into a nigh-psychotic and paranoid panic about whether or not I passed. Alliteration.
Oh and anime, music, tropes, and zombie films aside, I didn’t do anything today. In that sense, feels good bro.
In no particular order, the past however long it’s been was good.
- My dad was in NYC helping with a friend, you can guess what he was able to buy.
- Yesterday, the cherry blossom trees in our backyard are in bloom, and despite that my camera is crap, I really wanted to get a picture of them before it changed.
- Passed by the architect girl on campus.
- Got a picture of the sunrise before getting on the train.
In other news, spring’s pretty much arrived:
- Summer dresses everywhere.
- Awesome weather.
- Students frolicking on the campus green.
- Ice cream truck is making its rounds.
- Allergies.
Hooray?
