I've seen far worse ads, but I don't know if a couple of lionesses licking their chops is that inviting. Maybe the ad was commissioned by lion prides that like the taste of tourist. Good thing I'm broke!

My mothers got me a spice grinder for christmas. Which is nice, because trying to crack coriander seeds with your hands is not fun. Unfortunately, they got an herb grinder. For grinding “more herb than any other grinder on the market”. It has a keef compartment.

In other news, today I explained to my extended family how drug paraphanalia works.

Sort of Star-Wars Related Thought

In middle school - I remember it well - our teacher had us all draw our own personal coat of arms/family crests during our Medieval History unit. She brought in this huge collection of examples of traditional family crests, mottos, tracing, etc - we could pick and chose, make it something unique our own.

(I remember the hardest part being the scrollwork, actually - it was incredibly elaborate, and I spent goodness knows how long afraid I’d mess it up).

I kinda got into the habit of making a *new* personal coat-of-arms every other year or so, just for my own amusement. I’d shift the motto, the animal (first year it was a griffon rampart, next time I think it was a torch surrounded by sun-and-moon motifs), etcs. My favorite part was picking the mottos - a lot of the time, I’d steal them from whatever book series I was reading, looking for something vaguely profound.

First motto: “When your shoe is on your foot, tread upon thorns”

Second motto: “Most mirrors are mere errors”

Third motto: “Fire and Ice”

Fourth (?) Motto: “Noli nothis permittere te terere“.

I was vaguely thinking about this earlier and then I started thinking about Star Wars, and I realized that if Obi-Wan Kenobi had a family ‘coat-of-arms’, the way I used to make one - his motto would probably be “ANAKIN, NO”

once my parents told me they were watching a movie but then it got "homosexually intense" I just think it's really funny how uncomfortable they were made by gay sex
