Too much candy gonna rot your soul

Really, I've been eating well. A delicious stew-by-Sachi at the Murakami house last night (along with bread, cheese, strawberries and cookies), and a steak chimichurri dinner tonight. I don't even know what chimichurri is, exactly, but I know it goes well with steak. Thank you Baru Latino. Thank you Murakamis.

I had strange, harrowing dreams last night, all night, in which friends and I barely avoided death (multiple times) in a seaplane over Seattle. For this, I blame my afternoon consumption of one UCC coffee from Daiso. But I love UCC. But it hates me. But I love it.

Yesterday I bought a couple of TMNT action figures. I wanted Leo, of course, but the only one left at Toys R Us had wonky eyes and a chip missing from his chest belt. That wouldn't do, so I went with Donatello and Splinter. Which means I'm going to have to get the other three turtles, now, because I can't just have Donnie. That would be weird and wrong.

I drew all day today, up until the steak, and fiddled with the internet, and talked on the phone. All told, it was a good time. I recommend it.

Aw, you have Donnie and Splinter? I want Donnie and Splinter! ... man. <3s for turtles. (And I can't stand it when action figures have bad faces... Like, my Cloud one kinda has crazy eyes, and i wish I could get in there with a sharpie and fix it.)

Also? I am jealous of the delicious sounding foods. And curious about the drawing.

The Splinter figure is so good. You'd <3 him in a big, powerful way.

Yeah. There have been so many toys, like plastic animals for example, that I've tried to fix with sharpie, only to end up with an entirely black (and eerily shiny) goat, or whatever.

The drawing didn't work out so good. It'll be in my sketchbook though, the next time we hang out, and I give you permission in advance to both point and laugh.
