Postcrossing
Category: random
A while back I signed up for this website post crossing.org. the concept is that you send a postcard to a randomly assigned stranger somewhere in the world, and then they get it your name comes up for another stranger to send you one. It sounds like the beginning of some lifetime movie where i get murdered, but i haven't so far. I sent three cards, two to a guy and girl in Germany, and one to a biologist out in Siberia.

I know its super old school, but there's something about having physical mail which I never really get, especially from another person. it'd be way easier and to chatroulette but this is kind of cool (and has way fewer old man penises).

Today I got a card from Taiwan from Sheng/Rita? it was pretty cute.

It's amazing how fast your life can change in 6 months from such a random occurance. I can honestly say I have never been happier. I love you (e:Paul) and (e:Terry).

Ch-ch-chili
Category: food
Last night (e:paul), (e:terry), (e:xandra), and I headed to (e:mike) and (e:libertad)'s with (e:yesthatcasey) and Tanya for a chili dinner and some Cards Against Humanity (inaprop as usual, see Paul's post).

The chili was amazing, (e:libertad) and (e:mike) even made a vegetarian bean one. Paul's water, not so much. Terry and I made baklava and apple crisp to complete stuffing everyone.

Paul and Terry and I food coma'd on the floor before we could even plan to do anything else.

Thanks guys for bringing the amazing desserts, they went so well together. The chili recipe is a perfect thing to make for a crowd and so easy to make a portion vegan since the chicken doesn't get added until the end.

Gay dance night
Category: dancing
Friday night, (e:paul), (e:terry), (e:yesthatcasey), (e:mike) and (e:libertad) went out to the gay dance night at Milkies on Elmwood. We met up and saw (e:Robert) and Mickey there for a little bit before heading over to Acropolis, where we ran into Jesse. I hadn't been dancing there before but the music was pretty good.

Jesse ended up rescuing me from some suspender snapping bros. I didn't really mind after this guy asked to snap a suspender, but he ended up pulling one strap off the pants. Jesse beasted out and told Broseph to step off, he freaked out and his boss came over and started apologizing like crazy offering us drinks and everything.

We finished off the night by heading out to Underground for saddy hardcore as Paul put it. Gut nacht all around.

This was missing only one thing, me. I would have even eaten the chili and I don't eat chili.

da farm shop
Category: food
Last Thursday I went to the Farm Shop Lexington and Ashland, mostly because I kept reading about their amazing custard online. they are the same dairy as the farmers market who brings their stuff in from White Cow Dairy in East Otto. The store was really cute but the selection wasn't big, mostly a few types of whey yogurt drinks, yogurts and custard (plus lamb but IDC). The employee there was helpful and knew tons about the dairy, he actually worked on the farm. I got a birch and a berry yogurt drink plus a vanilla custard for $10. The yogurt drinks were okay, custard was good but (e:paul) and (e:terry) said it smelled like farts and couldn't be near me when I ate it. Oh well! I don't think I'd go back unless they sold cheese or maybe whole milk.

To finish off a bougie night of eating, (e:Paul) and I headed to the coop where he got more of the best gummies I have ever tasted. I'm seriously addicted to these things, plus they have no gelatin.
