i have not owned a television since I was a child and came to develop my quirky ad-reviling character trait

Making burritos. I've taken to adding in a bit of salsa and sour cream, and then finishing it in the oven with a layer of cheese on top and drizzling some hot sauce afterwards. I'm currently figuring out side dishes to go alongside them, and then i'll move onto the next dish that catches my attention.

update: oven broke lol

grits. the way my mother made them when I was a kid was plain and kind of unpleasant. I add sausage and cheese to mine.

the craving for absolute slop rears its ugly head every once in a while. I blame the ennui

it's really easy to exploit the worse parts of human psychology en masse when you have money, and its incredibly hard to undo that

I put on my robe and wizard hat. If the date goes well, maybe I'll show her my wand of magic missile.

Fingers. He looked like my hand because I was a silly goober who thought imaginary friends were dumb, but had no issue with anthropomorphizing my own hand.

I'm pretty salty at nintendo for abandoning F-Zero in particular. I need more high speed bumpercars racing in my life

no context will be given, or is necessary for that matter

 

I learned to read in grade school like pretty much everyone else I know, and I remember really enjoying reading for a very narrow portion of my younger years. When reading books became a compulsary part of school, that enjoyment just vanished, and video games ended up filling that void of "solitary passtime". I dont even really like video games all that much, eheh.

Now that im older, I dont really have authority figures threatening my future if I dont read the dryest books known to man, so I'm open to the idea of just reading again - it certainly cant be worse than just browsing lemmy posts for hours, right?

The thing is, I have absolutely no grasp on what the current book scene really looks like. I dont really know what authors are considered masters of the craft, or where to even really get a finger in the pulse on which I'd be into. If you could recommend someone who writes books you like, or just a few standouts, it would really help me get my bearings.

If it helps, I'm currently reading "A hundred years of solitude", "Berserk", and "Le fluers de mal", and am generally open to tragedies, horror, and narratives that are either experimental or just weird. If you know of any manuals or informative books that are particularly well written, im also interested in those!
