This is probably what Carrie's hair looks like in real life:

So that meal from Sam's Noodle Town? It ended up being Breakfast and Lunch, and given how much is left over, likely dinner and a midnight snack. THERE'S SO MUCH HERE.

Remember when it was safe-ish for a trans-woman to drive cross country without being harassed by the local citizenry and/or police? Good times.

I haven't done a cross country road trip since 2018.

@ScribblingSandy - Each one is the size of a HOT DOG. O_O

@Mondobizarrro - I loved Seattle-style teriyaki so much, I had to learn how to make it when I moved back to Texas for a year. I came back, and have had plenty of it since. :D

Okay, not only did Sam's Noodle Town deliver, they delivered a TON of it.

The portions were so big, I was already full once the noodle bowl came out, and ended up taking most of it home.

Thoughts Before Bed

Sometimes, the right person for the job isn't the one who is best at it, but the one who cares the most about it.

Words I really needed to hear today.

I really want to play this, but I need to know if they fixed the camera. The camera was the worst enemy I had to face in this game.

So that Hot Potato Salad is good, but only when it's fresh. The longer it sits in the frdge, the more it absorbs the sauce around it, the DRYER the dish gets, cause it's 95% mashed potatoes.

Mom sent her Wii to me to get it repaired and working, and let me tell you, hearing that menu music whiplashes me back to my first days at NOA in 2009.

I'd spend my breaks and lunch in the "Luigi Lounge," a little gaming side off to the side of Cafe Mario in the old HQ (never figured out if that was its name or not). Sometimes all I did was relax and I'd hear this for an hour.

@jenalysis - Let's jsut say there is ONE Mexican Place I want to spend money at for Mexican food in the entire east side.

Some of that is on me - I grew up on Tex-Mex, not really Mexican food. But even the Mexican food out here is just not as good as the Interior Mexican I've had back home.

@spottyfox - "YUBDUBBADUBYUB!"
"WEETWEEDLEWEETWEET?"

Dissapointing Mexican Food last night, Dissapointing Chinese Food tonight. I'm heading into Carnation tomorrow...where can I go where I won't be dissapointed?

GO!

I will never understand the personality type of someone whose response to anything and everything is "I'm right, you're stupid, shut up."

Oh Mom, the old man is telling me something
His eyes are wide and his mouth is thin
And I just can't hear what he's saying

Oh Mom, I wonder when I'll be waking
It's just that there's so much to do
And I'm tired of sleeping

The girl becomes a bird, a flower
In your state you feel your power
All things you can see around you
You can change them
Rearrange them in your mind
If you love tales of transformation
Well then, one two three
You could be
The man who played God

"Trope I can't stand in movies: extortion. Especially when it's caused by the justice system," she said realizing even that MST3K's riffing doesn't help that much at all.
