I too would like some of those dope reflective decals. Looks like they’re from Germany. Hopefully the shipping isn’t outrageous.

Gorgeous 😍

The PS5 is my last console. I’m done.

Aww that is adorable 😍

Oh I love kway teow. Sigh. . . The balance between health and happiness is a hard line to tow.

I just looked at my history and so many of these fucks deleted their posts and just peaced.

The red part is the Chinese Sausage. I’ve only seen this kind in grocery stores but they are all of this variety. This kind hails from southern China. I’m sure there are other types, but this is the most prevalent variety.

In Cantonese, this is called “lap cheong”. In my minor dialect of Chinese, it’s called “gong chiang”.

It’s salty with a sweet vinegary flavor. There’s usually marbled fat throughout the sausage. The bite is chewier than a standard Italian sausage, more like jerky but not as dry.

It was my bacon growing up and my family used it as such. It’s delicious and every time I have it, I’m transported back to my childhood. But I try to stay away from heavily processed foods and leaning more vegetarian/vegan as I’m approaching seniority.

Filipinos have a sausage with a similar taste profile called Longganisa. It’s usually more stout in shape and more tender than a Chinese Sausage.

It was a very fun read though!

I am at the end of The Amityville Horror by Jay Anson. It’s an overflow from Halloween season reads. I kinda hate it but I’ll finish it.

This book genuinely scared me. I was pleasantly surprised 😲.

Chrono Trigger

I never want to see those 2 words used together ever again.

So like if you stopped it?

Also a friendly reminder to support your local library. Many libraries offer digital and audio books now that you can download! All for free!

Just finished 'Salem’s Lot by Stephen King. It was enjoyable and I can see it’s influence on newer works of horror.

Up next is Life Ceremony by Sayaka Murata and Hail Mary by Andy Weir.

Like any creator that has a huge body of work, there are gonna be hits and misses. I haven’t read much of his older stuff, but I’m currently reading 'Salems Lot. I wouldn’t say it’s knocked me over, but I am enjoying it.

I have also read the Shining and Dr. Sleep and I enjoyed those immensely. Of his more recent stuff, I really like the Holly Gibney character and her arc in various novels and short stories.

You can start with “If it Bleeds”, it’s an anthology of short stories, the last of which is a Holly Gibney story.

I didn’t care for “Sleeping Beauties”, which he co-authored with his son Owen.

Good fucking riddance!

She looks like a twin to my cat!

It’s not exactly scary but has great Fall and Halloween vibes. It was a great witch story. Fair warning - there’s quite a bit of torture if you’re squeamish about that sort of thing. Reading about Puritans can also be annoying.
