I am feeling ways about things

-Am very low the last few days. Mopey. A grumplepuss. Sad, useless wretched.

-Am working on liking tofu better. Any healthy protein source I can buy for $1 at the produce market where I do most of my shopping is a worth learning to like. The results are mixed. Here is what I classically don't like about tofu: spongy soft texture, utter distressing blandness, vague odor of old socks/wet dog. I pressed the tofu to absorb water, marinated it in soy sauce and Chinese rice wine, coated it in my all purpose stir fry meat coating (cornstarch, flour, and sesame oil. It browns like a dream.), sauteed it in my case iron skillet and mixed it with noodles, green beans, scallions, and spicy peanut sauce. It was. . . okay. It certainly minimized the unpleasant texture and introduced lots of other bold flavors. It helped with the socks/dog smell a little. Alas, it didn't totally get rid of any of those problems. The work continues.

-I get why ghost riding the whip is so dangerous. Every time some idiot teenager gets their skull crushed doing it, it seems like the biggest imaginable waste. Alas, I gotta admit, it does look pretty damn cool.
