what are you into right now?

i know it's sacrilege but they are even better than Snickers ice cream bars

I haven't tried snicker ice cream. I'm somewhat repulsed when I think of nuts w/ chocolate but I have heard people rave about them for sure.

Wait until you have a tin roof sundae: vanilla ice cream with hot fudge sauce and salty peanuts sprinkled on top.

Then you will Be Into those for sure.

Oh! Also deep in to deciphering woodwork plans, collecting power tools and scouring architectural magazines.

LG I love peanuts so much but still no. :(

between this no nuts w/chocolate and the revelation that pp hates coconut, I have to apologize but I must remove any children or pets from your home and take them to one that understands the joys of these things

Give your kids a TRS. They'll thank you.

I'll give it a try. If they freak out I'll tell them it was all aunty L's idea.

My mom had to start calling them "TRSes" to hide from the littler kids what she was talking about (before they could spell) because the mere mention of "tin roof sundae" would start a furor in the house (or car).

Yo, twix ice cream bars are it

^^^^ OTM!!!

coworker brought twix, snickers, and m&m cookie ice cream sandwich treats to a meeting a couple weeks ago

Mars bar ice creams rule all yr lesser ice creams. Except possibly that TRS, tbh.

in orbit! I thought it was you. I am addicted now...some of those are mega-hard and I still cannot do a body roll but even August loves dancing around with her.

Bought my 14 month old wooden blocks and started playing with them myself... Relaxing. Looked up more blocks and I really want this whole set:

I'm reading Vonnegut's "Slapstick". Probably finishing it today because I have a backlog of books i need to read ("Divine Comedy", "Neuromancer", Gandhi's autobio, Time Life's "Trees"). Thrift store bookshelves have been very good to me lately.

Oh yeah I'm really into Sega Genesis games cos I never had one as a kid and have been emulating Castlevania, Gunstar Heroes, and the Shinobi series a LOT recently.

Gunstar Heroes is so rad!!

adam B, when i had a sega genesis i was super into the aladdin game. highly recommended platform game. i don't think i ever beat the magic carpet/lava level tho.

Oh yeah the animation on that is brilliant. Done by the Disney animators! Haven't played that in decades.

Yeah, that is a good one and the Lion King one too iirc.

The tricky part is finding like only-for-Genesis games bcz most of the ones that were also released on SNES were much better on SNES (are there any exceptions to this? Besides maybe some extra blood in Mortal Kombat or something?).

All the Sonics are C as fuck though

the original Mortal Kombat was much better on Genesis

thomas pynchon. reading the oeuvre in advance of the new book...amazing, amazing writer

The Genesis Castlevania is the best of the series imo. Fastest play, smoothest controls, and great graphic gimmicks that put Mode 7 to shame. Plus you travel around Europe! The music is way better than the SNES one as well, which is no small shakes.

Apparently the Contra is great too but i haven't tried it.

the sound chip for the genesis is the same as the yamaha dx-7 iirc, so it sounds better than most snes music — but the snes games had better composers working on them.

Dead Sea Apes, looking forward to the collaboration with Black Tempest. But Dead Sea Apes themselves are very interesting atmospheric instrumental band. Not sure how they view the idea of post-rock but some people might fit them in with it.
Grateful Dead May 1977 still pretty decent at the point and thankfully I haven't come across much Disco Dead so far. Really not into that aspect of them, they were a fantastic improvisatory rock group though.
learning more and more Autocad, though not sure how well I'm doing at the moment. Really hoping i get it together by September. Got a set of exams week after the one just about to start which I'm not looking forward to at all.

not into landlords who suddenly decide to change over bin collections when you've had the same set up for all the time you've been in a place through at least 4 landlords. & you have payment sorted which it won't be if anything goes wrong with this. Or needing to get it on paper that the payment is being sorted by the landlord so he doesn't just change his mind a little down the line.

also: cherries, but especially rainier cherries, which are only in season RIGHT NOW

I finally found a copy of Shakey at a local bookstore in the same week that I discovered rainier cherries. I am very into these right now. So gb otm in pointing out the best cherries, and I'll reward gb by reminding gb to buy some immediately.
