no one told me legends arceus was an isekai

so, we have some fake ham (that was given to us after a family lunch where Andrea accidentally bought it instead of fake hamburgers)

but it has just been sitting in the freezer because it doesn't seem like it really fits in our usual meal formats (protein source + rice, protein source + polenta, more rarely particularly large protein source by itself or with fried potatoes)

what do people even do with ham other than i guess put it on sandwiches? i'm soliciting ideas

today was my first time killing a PC and i did it twice!

oh, convenient. rail strike tomorrow has been postponed to thursday. hopefully this means they think they can get the pay rise they're asking for.

i should probably start wearing my jean jacket before it gets too cold to wear it.

i also read kakeochi girl (run away with me, girl). very good but very emotionally intense. it does work out in the end but damn these women go through some stuff first

in yuri manga reading news:
i read superwomen in love! honey trap and rapid rabbit. my favorite part was when she said “It’s Yuri Time” and they yuried all over the place. (joke. that was not actually the best part, but it genuinely did happen)
more seriously it was fun. nice light break between some of the heavier dramas i was reading. it did also have a satisfying if a bit simplistic overarching plot.

i finally actually opened an rpi i was given like years ago. the little bag the computer itself comes in is cute.

cuts on fingers are peak annoying injuries. completely trivial but it makes so many things slightly less convenient or more unpleasant.
