Uh. Sure, why not!

Ozy, Ozy, Ozy!

Putting the ‘Die!’ in Dawie die Kabouter

My main issue with mandu, potstickers and dumplings that take just a few minutes to cook is that they take just a few minutes to cook and suddenly there are none left wtf man

Epitome maybe but it’s not a wired-up doohickey or stainless-steel origami lotus flower so I threw in a couple ‘scare quotes’ to throw you off the trail, inspector!

a man without a shirt is taking a shower in a dark room Alt: Roy Batty without a hatty getting moist after remembering how he once set taco shells on fire near a tannenbaum grater. Likes the odd beer in the rain.

I’ve steamed things you people wouldn’t believe.

‘Downgraded’ to a bamboo steamer and oh man yeah that’s where the magic at.

Trump Writes Netanyahu Strongly Worded Check

I just need a porch and a rocking chair with a nice view of the apocalypse is that too much to ask?! Some dumplings and a bottle of hooch would be nice too.

Meh. Me neither. I keep doing the sums and the sums keep doing me over.

Luck yourself into some early retirement you mean.

We’re doing Nopevember this year.

"this meeting could have been a clay tablet"

It’s basically Deep Space Nine.

This despite how patient I’ve been while waiting till they’re allowed to come over and play again.

My friends from back when all have teenagers now and STILL don’t seem to appreciate me referring to this whole having kids business as just a phase they’re going through.

In case anyone’s curious, a pint of Guinness at Zayed International Airport in Abu Dhabi costs around $16 - or just shy of 285 ront.

I, uh, could have done with being a bit more curious *before* I ordered.

Watch Alchemy of Souls on Netflix. That’s the one that done me in.

Can’t relate. I accidentally watched a kdrama one day six months ago and then binged about another *counts figures* gazillion of them in quick succession. They take getting used to, but they’re unpredictable, have actual endings, and make you feel forgotten emotions and then go to Korea. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

While this is undoubtedly very funny and the Times has egg not only on its face but all over its head and shoulders, the phrase that leaps out here is ‘an interview…conducted through his Ring doorbell in Huntington Station, Long Island, from his current location in Florida’. What a time to be alive.

I’ll make the effort for a big tentpole at IMAX once or twice a year - spensive but worth it for the spectacle and sound - but otherwise nah.

Hmm. New Witcher with Miley’s Lil-Thor Ex just dropped. Might give it a gander on the plane.

It was hella fun salting cabbage with three little old Korean aunties sitting around a big plastic tub in Busan! And it didn’t come out to shabbily, if I do say so myself. Me and kimchi clearly ferment to be. 🤭

N Seoul Tower, seen from the Namsan cable car in Seoul, South Korea.

No, Blackpink, it is I who is in *your* area.

Can make my own now!

Besides, Trump just got here so the mood has soured.

Today is day 11 - that’s probably about enough I reckon.

All right, that’s enough larking about in someone else’s timezone. Time to go home.
