Sushi and Sea Slugs Surprise?

2016 Aug. 13th

It's not as interesting as it sounds.

Well, two surprising or interesting things for me today...

Today I made vegetarian sushi... My first time making sushi. I'd been thinking about it for a long time. Somehow, I finally managed it today.
I made two rolls, but the good-looking second one... no pictures survive of it. It left no traces, ha ha... It was devoured quickly. I have a picture of the bad-looking first roll:

Hideous Sushi

Now, if only I had stopped to take a picture of the one that didn't look like it might have come out of either end of a dog... It was gorgeous... but the proof of that is, unfortunately, that it doesn't exist anymore.

I used black rice with plain rice vinegar, Koyo nori sheets, gomashio, dulse flakes, cucumber, local carrots and radishes (from this morning), and mashed hard boiled egg (from days ago). Somehow, it came out of this tasting like flowers. (Even the ugly roll.) I rolled it using a dish towel and some plastic wrap, which seems to have worked pretty well the second time. The first time, well... It served to improve the second one. I guess.

I feel like I accomplished a lot at home today. I woke up in a pit of despair this morning, but for some reason going to the farmer's market somehow refreshed my spirit, and I ended up able to do things. I didn't have any real stamina to do things, but managed to get them done anyway with some tricks. (I am way too used to living this way.)

So... in between things... I watched the latest episodes of Thunderbolt Fantasy and Cute High! Earth Defense Club Love! Love!... and to my surprise, CHEDCLL crossed some kind of a line this episode. I keep thinking they're going to hit some kind of a wall, where they won't go any further.
Today's episode was all about hermaphroditism and poo. And friendship. Or frenemiship. (Or maybe just shipping, depending on who the audience is.)

Blaaaaaank...

This interesting non-sequitur pretty much opens the episode.

Need more be said? Well, it's said anyway:

Words cannot capture my facial expression.

It's then followed by this.

PANDA POO BOMB

...Which somehow tops all of the "monsters" in all previous episodes. So simple. So... elegant. This even has "Orifice Tornado" or whatever it was called beat. And that monster of chest-hair-envy consisting of a pec toupee with nipples for eyes (in a show where no one has nipples). And the guy who just needed someone to receive his balls... and the guy who turned into a ball. (?!)

Anyway, I was lead through a series of mental in-jokes after watching the first few minutes there...
Sea slugs >> Left Hand of Darkness >> Left Hand of Slugness >> comic series about wrestling somehow involving gastropods >> Bette Midler's "Boxing's Been Good To Me"

I love this show. Whether I like it or not.

So... well... I was entertained. I accomplished some things, and I was entertained.
It felt like a good day. Unfortunately it's now "tomorrow" as it's almost 2:30am as I write this.
I guess I'll end with this screenshot of Thunderbolt Fantasy that kind of made my day sometime last week, for no particular reason.

I've been waiting years for a character in this sort of genre to say something like this...

I can't even bother being ashamed of watching this... stuff.
No, one last thing:
