I'm hungry, let's see what I have that I can throw together, the recipe:

🍽 Make some 🍝--I like the hi-pro stuff
🍽 πŸ₯“ grease (or butter/oil) in a 🍳
🍽 Add garlic, onion, salt
🍽 Once the onion starts getting clear, throw in some chopped πŸ„
🍽 Cut πŸ— breast (2 if they're small) into bite-sized chunks
🍽 Scoot the onion/πŸ„ over to the side of the pan and toss in the πŸ—
🍽 Add salt, parsley, spices
🍽 Once the πŸ— is βœ…, mix it all
🍽 Mix in 🍝 and πŸ§€, stir continuously so the πŸ§€ doesn't stick

Watching Star Trek: Deep Space 9. In this episode, Gul Dukat starts a suicide cult. This is only a couple of episodes after the baseball episode. They're really pulling out all the stops during the final season.

It's amazing how far DS9 ended from TNG by the end. They take place in the same universe but in different worlds.

My profile pic is a still from Georges Méliès 1902 short "reconstructed newsreel" The Eruption of Mount Pelee

Here's an interview: daily.bandcamp.com/2017/03/10/

I've been doing two podcasts for 3 years and the only ad we've had was for our friend's ska band kickstarter. He paid us in beer, I think. In conclusion, not everything needs ads.

Now I have a πŸš€ next to my username.

It's a (I think) good combination of future pop, weird experimental electronic sounds, metal, sad bastard music, shoegaze and vaporwave. I spend way too much time on it.

Since it looks like is a thing, please check out my Ryan's Music Picks series: prestigeformat.com/?cat=324

I tried to do a January book club this year, reading Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon. I just finished.

I've been thinking a lot about creating a non-federated instance for just my pals to function as essentially a just-friends slack channel or something. But there's a good chance no one would use it and I'd be bummed.

FYI I'm using @eurasierboy's Amaroq app for iOS with mastodon.social (I signed up weeks and weeks ago and never touched it until some people on the bird site mentioned they were using it). I πŸ’– Amaroq!

I have to turn down the music every time I parallel park.

I'm at about to sit through the Critical Role/Talks Machina panel. Some kind of nerd stuff. I've never watched. But I do play DnD so Β―\_(ツ)_/Β―
