happy bog day to those who celebrate! didn’t make it to the bog today but i’m hoping to get nice and wetlands-splattered before summers end. but it’s still high summer!! passionvine has officially conquered the deck again!! i am ever making larger and more concentrated batches of mint iced tea in the hopes that i can keep up with how much i’m drinking!! mint tea!! i latched onto it hard that week where every day was like 100F and now am solidly obsessed
i got a t shirt (basic cut but gorgeous print) and the shop threw in a matching bandana 🥺 for ronan 🥺 they don’t even sell bandanas 🥺 since i put it on him, he has been 10000% more babey than usual and now i can’t bear to take it off. but it does mean his begging power has also increased 10000% and he was already too skilled for his own good
luckily the black sesame ice cream recipe i used is all dog-safe ingredients so he can clean my empty bowl (HI it looks like concrete and i love it) note to self: making ice cream is a great date activity (great activity, period) but i maybe do not often have the energy that back-to-back dates require. we finished episode 6 of eizouken and i had to tap out, despite episode 7 starting with my favorite 10 minutes of animation of all time
note to self: i also definitely do not have the energy that bouldering three days in a row requires!! if you’re a shambling corpse tomorrow, u know why!! BUT i got the v4 i’ve been working on :)))) it’s my first v4 :)))) i didn’t do it perfectly and there’s one spot that i could def improve but overall i think i did it pretty nicely and am really happy with that :)))) lov a slab wall with some chippy lil footholds apparently :))))
and then i started projecting another v4 that is all big moves and v craggy and NOT my style at all but it’s fun and -if they don’t take it down too soon- i still might have a shot at it? think i can def at least make more progress on it (though the gym reset almost everything for the competitions so i might get distracted by the tons of sparkly new routes)
and even though i was on day three at this point, i managed to have a decent climbing session? stupid body that responds well to consistency, don’t you know i have adhd??? this isn’t my home gym, but there’s a v3 that i’ve been *so* close on the past few times i visited recently. the last two moves are just spooky!! but today i did one of them, and then just -fuck it we ball- skipped the other one, bc catching myself on the finish is still way less sketchy than what i would’ve needed to do
(arguments are being made that i need smaller shoes. and they’re probably right 😢 but i’m a delicate lil flower and can’t deal w the crunched up toe feeling (i am going to try tighter shoes, just need to register my apprehension about it first))
hmm i think i had a way i wanted to wrap up this post but i’m eepy and my brain just hit a words block so nope! guess i’m all done now!
i keep making silly ice cream mistakes... i sent a package for a friend to an ice cream parlor accidentally because i mixed up addresses and she had to go on a quest to retrieve it. the long awaited ICE CREAM WEATHER hoodie arrived and!! i accidentally ordered both a small and a medium!! i offered one to my roommate, who went from "yea maybe?" to “oooh i like the weight and the lining is really nice yeah this is dope" over the course of trying it on. its a good hoodie! mine has been in rotation, keeps me warm enough for mochi on midnight walks with ronan. i wiiiiished i had it the other evening, getting much needed post-climbing ice cream but the chill of the rain got to me 😔 anyway it started snowing this morning and ronan ran around in the flurries and, this time, i dressed appropriately for the weather :) now for pre-climbing ice cream :))
a lil braindead rn but gay climb night + butternut squash ice cream was good enough to make up for the awkwardness of introducing myself over music and now i’m going to fumble my way through a game of everdell
sometimes you gotta scoop ice cream with a butter knife and sometimes your puppy lets *you* use *him* as a pillow for once and sometimes even when you’re already a bit tapped on energy, meeting a bunch of strangers goes fine anyway
Contender Wesley “Two Scoops” Berry Speeds Through The Gauntlet | Americ...
After watching that American Gladiators docuseries, I'm happy to report that it's very much pro labor. Unfortunately, though, there's no mention of the greatest American Gladiator contestant, Wesley "Two Scoops" Berry. The makers of the docuseries were not giving 110%.
If you are sampling ice cream in places such as WA, may I recommend the california pine flavor at Frankie & Jo’s in seattle? Life-changing
!!! ty my lil pinyon, i was just* saying i wanted to make pine ice cream!!! sadly i’m on the wrong coast 😭 @eikochatter are you going to vet this for me or do i need to visit?!?
