Making shrimp stuffed with peas and carrots, you're doing it weird.
Pop the peas before putting them in the tank and the critters will stuff themselves.
aug 3
Today's reassurance-the form you filled out and sealed in an envelope to be put in the mail today was done correctly and everything on it is fine.
So here's some shrimp eating their vegetables.
Those are defrosted frozen carrots and peas, canned might work too, and the peas have been popped. It drew out just about all the half grown teenager shrimp in a feeding frenzy. Vegetables are also good for betta and most algae eaters.
I swear tho, if no matter what you do you never have success with fish try freshwater shrimp. We don't have a heater, there's always algae somewhere, and no matter what someone not me overfeeds and treats them. And as you can see the moss ball and other plants are doing fine. An explosion of shrimp means plenty of food and we're doing something right by them. Just don't partner them with someone who will eat them and know they might eat baby fish. We have an Oto algae eater and two male guppies to help control the "seed shrimp".
While I consider a Middie Blythe I am rerooting the "factory" one I got at the doll show.
That orange mess was always going to go which is why her scalp is already popped off. She's been having fun with the wigs but as she isn't sure she's going to stay she don't know. I had bought a black scalp, and I thought it would be just the soft part not the whole dome, but it didn't fit her so it went to the real Blythe. I know the real one in an RBL and that's what I ordered and it didn't fit the fake so the real one claimed it and now she's full time goth.
I'm not at all in to the Blythe fandom. For the longest time I had a Blythe, at least real face and head back with after market parts on a Takara body, and I played around with her. I was looking at getting her a friend before this year's local doll show and the factory girl was there and hella cheap so I went for it.
Something something any doll I buy and especially those I reroot I do thinking I am going to be keeping them because that's what happens something something rerooting her with hair from a pink human sized Halloween wig I bought years ago because I know it has enough hair and will look nice on her.
I wish I had a doll friend who was good at doing wigs that lived closer to me because I'd like them to throw together some of the wefts of the "ice cream" wig for Dawn the centaur.
No I don't do rooting commissions, I only do it to drive myself crazy. Yes I might be interested in selling the factory Blythe after the reroot. Just know that every customization step I take with her drives her price up and she's not going for less than $$$ because even tho it's hella easier to reach the inside of her wig cap it's still labor intensive.
aug 2
Now to keep myself from starting the reroot or anything else that would put my neck and neck in to that position until later today. I didn't get the idea until at least noon and tho I did start to prepare the hair I obviously didn't over work the muscles that cause ouchies so I need to stick to that plan.
I'm going to do the knot method which I did before on a Monster High so I could retain the length of a hank I got in a trade or something. I'll be using wefts from a people Halloween wig I bought several years ago, I got the same style in two different colors, and while I was thinking of doing half one color half the other I've decided she'll be all pink because too many half and half hair colored people wind up being insufferable adjacent. And since I always reroot a doll with the thoughts I'm going to be stuck with it, because half my Monster reroots are still here, she'll look pretty in pink.
something something No one deserves 1080p in their lost media something something That one uploader in particular was doing beyond the lord's work and none of us had any problem with quantity over quality something something half of it I wanted small files for back up and phone watching the other half I stashed because it sounded interesting enough to put aside incase I ever got around to seeing it something something already added a few things to the list of get the proper DVDS of but I also wasn't going to wait around for the junk store to get the rest of the way OOP either something something
In fact I've gone as far as feeding some files thru a resolution compressor to make them smaller byte wise. And I've gone full screen on my new Babbage Differential Engine and they look just fine. Some of y'all didn't grow up with a static filled CRT signal and a VHS on SLP being the only way to have something so you can't want it for your analog horror on one hand but not in your VHTF media on the other.
If I still watched regular TV I wouldn't mind paying by the movie or series and running it thru a VCR, I'd probably be on a DVR by now, for personal use. I'm just not paying for channels and shit I don't watch.
The one I call Frankenblythe, real neo 2006 face and head back unknown RBL model, Takara body, aftermarket eye mech, mix of aftermarket chips, aftermarket scalp. edit- If I remember correctly her plates are "Midnight Spell", I knew it had something to do with CInderella.
"Factory Blythe" purchased at a doll show in the plaid outfit. No back of head markings. Takara Licca style body.
I looked thru my supplies and I think I have enough wig hair to reroot her in pink. I ordered the black scalp for her in RBL only to discover it didn't fit but I know Frankenblythe is an RBL. And even if I could adjust the soft scalp for the factory it's Fran's now and she's not giving it up.
Needless to say I will be deciding if I'm going to sell the two Blythe wigs I have or harvest the wefts for smaller dolls.

I suppose for every enjoyable watched all the movie at once Backrooms there's a Spider-Man I Ain't Gonna Finish This. No spoilers. It's not everything wrong with modern MCU movies but it's a lot of things wrong like just commercials for upcoming things with a sprinkling of plot.
Having read a somewhat recent comic with the classic comic book villain they wasted and knowing an important thing about their backstory they totally dropped what could have been a good thing that easily would have mixed with trying to reconnect with those Peter lost to the spell and what ever he has going on personally.
Look, now that the biggest thing is over with and also having some cabin fever, Saturday the first is not the day to go to the Sprawl Mart even if you don't need the money center, but even on regular days there's always someone trying to pull a scam.
Nor does it seem the tight day to go to the electronics store, I need another hard drive to keep my cat videos on, and I need to wipe and reformat to exFat so grandma can watch them on her Windows. But I need to copy and back up before wiping, duh, and tho I can still use the big shucked drive that isn't a passive and needs to be plugged in to a power outlet too.
The logic here is a little Macbook, even if it's why in the world did they choose that shade of yellow when a bright lemon would have worked, or a little netbook (remember those) can access the drives in the case of the desktop being used for other purposes.
I did not ask to become the librarian but damn if I didn't grow up unable to access information to the point people outright lied to me about things setting me up for failure so I never want that to happen to anyone again.
And as I said before, help me organize my library and you can copy anything you can fit on the Xerox machine. I still have stuff I paid 10 cents a page for back in my teens because that was the only way I could keep it.
Meanwhile, if anyone has ever wanted to shuck a little 4t Seagate get your ass over here. The USB connecter on it is a little wonky and it keeps disconnecting. That's why I shucked the big ass one and it still works with the adaptor. Not to mention the enclosure that the still usable replacement drive for the Legacy that I switched out myself is in.
It cost me barely $$ for the multi hard drive connector/adaptor thinggie and the only drive out of 25 years of home computers it couldn't read was the one that Windows fried to a crisp but it did hook up and it did try.
no spoilers Skimmed thru Brand New Day
No spoilers but perhaps a few references for Spider-Man Brand New Day. I read the summary online because that's just me, I did not know I'd be seeing it so soon.
We waited all this time for that?
By the middle when they go visit Spidey's grumpy friend I was done watching and skimmed to check out a couple interesting things and a scene at the end that was like... Really? That's all that villain needed?
First off it is bloated with cameos and characters that only feel like they're there to be commercials for upcoming MCU stuff, and the people from the one poster (as South Park would say that's gay) like only exist to provide Halloween costumes that won't come in anything smaller than 3x.
The first live action appearance of a classic villain is wasted. Fighting this villain could and should have been it along with the character Spider calls on the phone and the smarty pants one. We didn't need the grumpy one and we didn't need the so sad why didn't anyone tell me they loved me.
At least it isn't woke, and I mean in the here are my pronouns I'm so special being trans is my only personality way. Like previous Spider-Man MCU movies we get realistic New York demographics and if you close your eyes they all sound like they got where they got via meritocracy not because they were filling out a specialness quota.
My God if the grumpy friend had not been comic book accurate, even in a tall Wolverine way, that would have been the end of it.
Still we did not need the people from the one poster, that was just a bloated filler bullshit fight sequence that could have been done with the other villain they totally waste. Swimming pool character's expo dump could have come from phone call character's or even smarty pants once they figured out who Peter was via their interaction etc, or that whole subplot with I'm so sad someone hug me could have been dropped all together. If you know even a bit of the wasted villain's story they could have carried it.
Not even sure if I want to buy it new on DVD unless it has some extras I like, not even sure if I'd pick it up at a junk store, it's that generally uninteresting. And half the green screen putting Spider-Man in to scenes doesn't quite work. It's like if the sun is over here then why is his light coming from over there autistic minds are irritated by that kind of stuff.

Not going to spoil Spider-Man and the Unnecessary Cameos That are Just Commercials For Upcoming MCU Films. One of the posters going around is a lie, it's like one frame in a throw away thing, the "is that my shirt" scene lasts longer. I think they should have stuck to the first time this classic Spidey villain has been on screen+person he makes phone calls to+dealing with MJ and Ned because of the spell.
It's still a decent old fashioned white guy as a super hero movie with different types of people in realistic positions and places without pandering, DEI, or making you want to hit them with a shovel. I have to give it to the MCU Spider-Man movies that I never really noticed there was more diversity on the school bus than in other media because they had personalities beyond look how diverse and woke I am.
There's been no reason to have half the cameos in it unless the guy in the van and woman in the pool and group of people in costumes are part of the next wave of movies. Group of people in costumes have just given every keyboard warrior who loves their country of origin something they're going to identify with, dress up as, and run in to the ground.
Just remember what South Park said in s19e7 about them being gay.

Meanwhile all is where it is. Might try to crochet or something else creative today unless my energy kicks in. Y'all got like today, maybe tomorrow if you want some canned food we're just not going to eat. It's still good for another couple of years. I don't keep expired food in my house.
No spoilers for Spider-Man BND but HTF is this a big budget movie with the kind of crappy green screen shit it has going on? The flying scenes in Superman 4 did a better job.
jun 30 part 2
I think the hardest part about this week is actually going to be the cabin fever until she feels well enough to drive.
Never buying cream of celery soup that isn't regular Campbells again. Usually cream of celery soup and the right chicken pieces are a yummy casserole base, did you know you can make those on the stove top in a pot if you don't want the oven on? Alas non Campbells kind of reminded us why we only buy certain brands of certain things.
You'd know if you had real Chips Ahoy.
Hopefully tomorrow I'll have at least my usual amount of energy. The crash wasn't as bad as it could have been, I only had two naps, and I look to be able to make it to my regular bed time.
Assume the purrsition
No spoilers- I would like to thank the internet for putting out movie summaries because Spider-Man Brand New Day kind of sounds... Boring. Hey, yeah, it's supposed to be a Spider-Man movie, not a guest plot complication movie. Should have just given us costumed classic Spidey villain and his personal dealings with MJ and Ned.
I hope it's better than the summaries I've read make it sound.
jul 30
She was up in the middle of the night making noise in the kitchen so one hopes that this is a case where yet another thing that could have been super traumatic is now behind me. Yeah I had to be on the phone and talk with one of the neighbors, neither of which is as bad as your anxiety would want you to believe, so really the worst might have been having to wear a bra all day while waiting to go with the neighbor to pick her up but I didn't even need to do that.
I think the most "awkward" thing, if it even was that, was explaining that the person picking mom up has the same first name as me because the neighbors are one of those couples with the same first name who married each other and then I moved next door.
So I'm going to get out the metal stamping stuff and make them a set of drink markers with variations of "property of Spiders Georg", "this belongs to Spiders Georg", and "for Spiders Georg" on them. I don't know if they drink or what but the thankfullness will be there and each marker is a different shape.
As I was also in duty to adult and couldn't nap or take time to cook after a certain time I am expecting to spend half the day in bed for a CFS crash out. Learning that it could take a good 24hours or so to catch up to me explains the cycle of a day or two of chores and adulting followed by a day of hibernating.
Next time we do go out I want to try Tylenol and Naproxen to see if that helps different than my usual Pain Away, most of the time Alieve, because there are plenty of times I could do average daily tasks with the meat suit if I just didn't have more ouchie chemicals than red blood cells in my system.
And remind me next time I'm meal prepping not to cook the beef the way I did last time. I'll finish what I made but it could taste better. It works for heating and eating, I paired it with instant rice and vegetables, and I thought using up the rest of that sauce bottle was a good idea and it tasted fine the day it was made but it's not a flavor I'm looking for any more.
july 29
Safe at home and moving fine.
I swear I will be sleeping for most of tomorrow.
Even if we didn't need to go that far the planning, meal prep, and making sure we had all the bills well taken care of was a good idea.
Will be better to be home and bored with cabin fever than worrying about things we could and should have done.
Canned chicken and cream of celery soup go good together.
The Misfit Pond on YouTube came up with the original comparison in their Backrooms Dragged Into Tunnel Scene video
The neighbors doing us an important favor both have the same name as me and their kids have the same first initial. So I'm going to make them a set of metal stamped drink charms with the same name for a gift.
Each charm is a different shape so they're easy to tell apart.
jul 29 part two
And another adulting thing is in recovery and almost ready to come home and ~that noise Timmy makes on South Park~ I might not have needed to be dressed and wearing a bra all day and could have taken a nap and that's just how life goes.
Also I'm waiting to hear that Corky II has outlived the guy who's been the head of the effort to free her from SeaWorld. It will only be true irony when she's outlived the wild orca "Granny" and is in some orca version of Grey Gardens with Orkid or something. I have not seen Grey Gardens, the bits I've seen have irritated me, I assume it's about two old ladies that are so interesting there's like a drag queen musical about them. Theater and I are in discussion, don't help.
Still it means I'll be the adult on call for a good week. Not at all bad because if I do get some energy I'll be able to make what ever mess I want trying to organize the craft space.
But with what more I'm learning about CFS (I'm just gonna cal it Cluster Fuck Syndrome) I might be hibernating tomorrow because of an energy crash. Just got to remember when I'm getting up to eat I'll need to see if mom needs anything. Her bathroom is right there in her bedroom so that's all good.
I'll wipe a critter's arse. Wiped plenty of puppy arses because they'd do a poopie then crawl thru it. But that's baby critters.
