in my ongoing quest to figure out how to add garlic to every meal

my garlic bagel has figured out how to properly complement my coffee (yes on its own). they are both bitter. they both are delicious. they both go well with hatred.

i knew breakfast was going to be my largest hurdle before dessert (no a tub of toum does not count as dessert we are civilized. we need two tubs).

So every few years i like to go back and play the Jak and Daxter series because it's fun okay? And a couple years ago my tv had a whoopsie poopsie and I replaced it with the best damn tv three buttons and some pocket lint could get. And all it's got on the back of it are damn hdmi connectors and satan's coax. i got myself a nice cheap receiver a few years back i could plug everything else into and not worry, but the damn thing is not converting and refusing to convert Ye Olde Playstatione Twoe RCA Signale into Ye Newe Fangle Dangled HDMI Signale and i am not buying one more fucking piece of hardware to play a vidya game i have ownedd for two defuckingcades.

even my cat is worked up over this, it has nothing to do with the mean outside cat pissing in our yard this morning so even though nothing has changed, my playstation two has officially broken today and i guess i have to learn how to emulate that hardware on pc and not just my phone now godsdammit.

I forgot how much I miss Reginald and the other one

So we have this rock that looks like a potato. I think everyone will agree that Kevin here looks like a potato. We found him on a long walk. Our first strategic use of Kevin, we scrubbed him and put him in a pile of potatoes that my mother was peeling for potato salad. Yara yara yara, much hilariously was had by all. I am trying to think of other pranks we've done on each other with Kevin. It's usually that one, we always find it hilarious (like the rubber lizard we put in each other's sinks. It's about time, and my wife's turn to prank someone, for that to happen I should get ready) you'd think we'd get tired of it but we love this rock.

My cat, she loves Kevin too. Cuddles with him all the time. All the time except today, it seems. She's been sick the last few days, so she's just cuddling with me when she's not playing. She will, however, pose with Kevin. She loves taking photos. So I included some cat tax.

I apologize if this is a little too exciting but I have been looking for this food the last few, uh, 119 days. I had it at this food festival, loved it, bought out the vendor (it was the end of the day and they only had a gallon left) but I may have fallen in love with toum (it's a dip made primarily of garlic, oil, and lemon but that really doesn't tell the whole story the garlic is sweet).

I found toum at the fancy grocery today :3

I spent the evening eating pita covered in labne (tangy Lebanese yogurt) and toum. There's a farmers' market a few towns over where this guy sells the best bolani and now I can't wait until market day.

The boxes had water damage, so i got some plastic boxes. Then i put almost everything in the new plastic boxes. Managed to get rid of a whole box worth of shit, including an old crock pot.

I gotta go fill up a box with rocks i guess.

I just rode by a Der WienerSchnitzel. It had a sign boasting it's "All-American". Its name is German, for The WienerShnitzel. Please help me understand.

that was a really cup of coffee. and an even better bagel. i've only got, fuck, three bagels left? and those are good bagels too. and when those are done i'm gonna have to buy more since i bake about as well as i metaphor. fuck. none of those eventualities involves me staying on my ass if i want more bagel.

edit: just realized i can ask my wife for bagel

edit edit: just realized if i ask my wife for bagel she will eat the remaining bagels

edit edit edit: just texted my wife that i told y'all about her eating my beloved bagels yesterday (CAN Y'ALL BELIEVE IT SHE ATE MY BAGELS) i will win this battle even though the war is long lost

edit edit edit edit: i just got a phone call from my wife y'all. she was at the bagel shop EATING A GARLIC BAGEL. I have been outplayed.

So, uh, i painted my nails (for the first time since i was a kid) last night. They look rough i love it. That's beside the question, i waited patiently for my nails to dry. Right? Hooray me for not Oh! Squirrel!ing. For I don't know how many hours afterward, they stank like ammonia or something. I wanted to pet my cats but my nails were too stinky. They would not allow it. So how do I make my nails stop stinking faster so I can get back to petting my cats?

edit: follow up do they make nail polish that smells like catnip
