January 3: stabbing incident on the subway in Akihabara, Tokyo. What the hell have you done to Japan, ghostrek? 🤬

Youtube kept recommending me videos of fish and chips so . . . I got that. British food is pretty underrated, tbh.

Day 6 of dieting, down three pounds. I accidentally binged ate last night, but it wasn't a lot. I think I should eat more calories. I'm aiming for two pounds a week. Supposedly, you get gallstones if you lose weight too fast. I want to keep my gallbladder; I want to still be able to eat fatty foods.

Black tea has a ridiculous amount of tannin and it irritates the hell out of my stomach when it's empty. I can drink green tea, oolong tea, herbal teas, and coffee just fine on an empty stomach, fortunately. Also, alcohols darker in color tend to be higher in tannin, and they contribute to worse hangovers.

Japanese hamburger, gyudon, kimchi, rice

Now there was a plane crash in Japan. Japan is not off to a good start in the year of the dragon.

20 pounds in body weight is 70,000 calories 😭

Aw, now I feel bad. From the sounds of it, it's nowhere near as bad as the 2011 Tohoku disaster. The tsunami warning was downgraded to an advisory. Natural disasters of this scale happen at least once a year in Japan. They'll be fine, ghostie.

Shrimp tempura, natto, cucumber kimchi, rice.

An earthquake with a tsunami hit Japan today. Godzilla was fucking the giant squid again. All your fault, ghostrek.

Weight loss. Already on day 3 and so far I'm very satisfied with my calorie restriction. I want that glorious feeling of feeling your clothes get looser, doubting your progress, but then the next week comes and your clothes feel looser, next week looser, next week, and so on and so forth. That particular feeling will happen mid-January. I've done this before and will do this again. Other things too, but I don't feel like sharing them.

That's an awful lot of incorrect assumptions. As I said, it's a very sensible video on the topic.

22.3 years ago . . . back when Kenny was dying every other episode, Chef was still around, the moral preaching bullshit was much less frequent, and South Park was still somewhat funny. Edit: Also around the time they had their most iconic episode: Scott Tenorman Must Die.

Is this a Norman Bates scenario or something?

Prager U ironically has a video about slavery being the cause of the Civil War. Probably their most sensible video, really.

Banks are closed Monday. Try Tuesday. #imthatguy

Happy birthday Schmahxgn. Hope you come back soon.

The whole concept of Cosmc's is everything that is wrong with America; obesity caused by sugar, repackaging the same shit, overpriced, low wages for the workers, etc.

I mean

Totally Spies! marathon, then completely cancelled

Who the hell is Kerwin Frost and how did he get such a prominent deal with McDonald's?

I really don't like anime that much anymore. I'll always like FMA, Samurai Champloo, and Ghibli films . . . but I don't care to ever watch long shonen series like Naruto ever again. I'm not interested in Jojo or Demon Slayer at all.

Gift cards, electric kettle, and some weird Chinese tea contraption.

Couscous? moar leik puss puss.
