hola, amor.

you may have noticed that my blog is disorganized and thematically incoherent and my tag game is weaker by the day. this is commentary on the chaos of modern existence

goo goo dolls if they were in dune: and i don’t want the worm to see me

being an adult is just dragging urself kicking and screaming to things that you will enjoy and that will be good for you

clenching my teeth and muttering under my breath "you'll be happy you did it you'll be happy you did it you'll be happy you did it" as I physically force myself out the door to go Do Things

being very firm with myself every time I think about bailing and saying "no. you committed to this. it will improve your quality of life. you will enjoy it. now put on your big boy pants and go."

Went out and got the most DELECTABLE flautas today my friends. Everyone (but ESPECIALLY girls, women, and fems) tell me your most recent incredible food experience, or a food experience you are looking forward to.

My uncle made carne asada out on the grill this weekend and I went home with leftovers and made carne asada fries for lunch today 🤤 pickled onions, fresh jalapeños, Oaxaca and queso fresco cheeses, homemade guacamole and salsa 😋😋😋😋😋 It was sooooooo good

Aw man I fried myself an egg for breakfast this morning (my treat for myself after bravely getting four shots at the doctor's and not even crying about it) and not only did I fry myself an egg, I fried myself TWO eggs, cooked to perfection in bacon grease and butter, with generous amounts of salt and pepper and herbs. I love to eat food that is good and also good for you. It is quite excellent actually :D

I'm trying to cook more recipes while on a Mediterranean Diet because my feeble efforts were quite bland and boring. I made some pesto shrimp in the air fryer, then I cooked up a bag of frozen stir fry mix with stir fry sauce and tossed the shrimp in and ohhhh it was so much tastier than what I'd been eating!!! IDK if the soy sauce was technically correct for the Mediterranean Diet but I refuse to be so strict that I make myself miserable, it's still much healthier than I HAVE been eating!

I had mashed boiled eggs and cold fresh mashed avocado and fried chicken chopped up on a salad with spicy ranch dressing and it was DELIGHTFUL

One side has monkeys and tigers and elephants and capybaras, the other? Squirrels and deer

Have you seen a moose, megafauna are cool.

I live in the US and one of the things that really reframed the way I think about animals was when someone I knew in Brazil posted a picture of a marmoset hanging out outside their window and I realized that monkeys were to them what squirrels are to me. Recently a friend in Hungary sent a picture they took at the zoo of a raccoon and it was like my worldview was being shifted all over again because what was to me the mildly annoying, somewhat cute, critter that makes weird noises behind my house at night was a wonder to someone else. They have little hands and bandit masks. They wash their little hands. How is that NOT a wonder? All animals are cool I’m just used to raccoons.

The window visual did me in I’m wheezing

NO

WELP

I haven’t seen this in years and yet it is burned into my memory forever.

This is on the short list of Eternal Reblog because it’s fucking legendary.
