Ruining It For Everyone Else Since 2004
Went to purchase some juice today and made this little discovery… Naturally I had to grab it, and I’m not disappointed. It’s watermelon with a mixture of cherry and lemon juice for additional tartness, and it is goooooooooood. This one might have to become a regular purchase; I could use it in tea fusions, smoothies, maybe make a mulled version with proper spices…
This isn’t a paid endorsement… I’m just really high on watermmelon right now. :melon:
I basically came home on Saturday, and accidentally fell into a 12 hour nap. Hell even through Sunday I felt jet lagged, pretty much spent all of yesterday in chill mode. I made up for some lost animation time, and even made time to play a couple other things:
I played some single sessions of Melon Simulator yesterday, good game to play if you want to do something silly for a few minutes. It also has a level editor and a workshop. It reminds me of survival mode in the Left 4 Dead games, or any game where the goal is just to survive as long as possible. You can collect weapons, and even beat up melons with dead melon gibs, and feed upon them to regain your strength. Best played with a watermelon candle lit, some watermelon tea, and if you live in the appropriate state watermelon vape. :melon: I also played a bit of Far Cry 5 when taking animation breaks. I haven’t decided if I’ll continue animating today, or if I’ll wait til tomorrow. I’m anticipating this week to be more brutal than last week, and last week was already quite brutal… and I’m not just saying that because of my watermelon tourmaline gemstone falling off of my ring. I’m hoping it fell in a tote somewhere. Oddly enough I was contemplating buying another ring for the other hand about a week or so ago, and now I kinda had to move that up a bit it looks like.
No, I don’t plan on wearing all of them at once… The two in the top pic were a couple of cheap cocktail rings I got off of ebay, and the other one is a custom ring I got off of Etsy! I made sure to keep the cost under $75. I don’t buy jewelry for myself very often, in fact I think the last time I bought myself any jewelry it was the ring that broke recently… Guilt absolved. I also got some watermelon tourmaline earrings on the way, oh and early Christmas gifts for people persons. :trollface:
I’m anticipating another ballbuster week, so if I go radio silent I think you’ll know why. But on the plus side if I survive Black Friday there will be a video the next day. :melon:
Despite rolling into spring the weather has felt like winter, in the early mornings at the very least. I’ve been going through watermelon withdrawals, getting closer to the end of my watermelon tea collection, and it’s difficult to find something nice during these seasons to make the watermelon part of my palate happy. As if reading my mind (well, she kinda did by reading this blog :melon: ) she gave me birthday gifts that would fill that very void.
Even the birthday card is watermelon based. I’ve never had a theme for a birthday before, and this was a wakeup call to something amazing! Any darkness that I was feeling was melted away as I continued opening my gifts in the company of Yutram who too knows my watermelon related needs.
The first gift I opened was a dress, though on me it’ll probably be a really nice top when we start getting some summer weather. :melon:
This falls under a similar category, though I think I might might be a nice small cover for the swimsuit:
I’ll be headed out of state sometime this summer hopefully, and was in need of something chlorine friendly and melontastic, and this looks like it might fight the bill if I can shed some poundage before then, at the very least I can get some boy shorts and call it good. :trollface:
I’ve been wanting to get a new mousepad for quite awhile, and I never thought of going this route. This is a really good idea, my Logitech G502 sits proudly upon it now, and will assist me in my future mouse related endeavors. :melon:
Earrings! They even match my ring! I’ll have to be careful or I may not ever take them off.
Now I can sort my USB cables in style! Perfect timing since I’m using these for my small roadtrip.
Well, looks like I have some decorating to do. These are string lights, of the watermelon variety. Perhaps around my gaming area or by the window. I’m already planning some renovations, this is a cool thing to add to the list. :melon:
I have a hat that matches this bag perfectly… no really I do.
I can’t wait for the summer to roll around, a lot of this stuff will fit well together for the river/beach. That’s assuming my extreme paleness doesn’t blind the entire town.
I’m not the kind to put my head between a pair of melons… but for the sake of music I’ll make a happy exception!
As cold as it’s been at night I might have to give this little bottle a go. This is adorable.
I’ll also be using this on my trip. A nice bag to store some additional makeup’s in, mostly eyeliners and eyeshadows methinks.
This lit up my eyes. I’m running low on my selection of watermelon teas from both Republic of Tea and David’s Tea, and was soon going to have to search for another watermelon elixir purchase, then this appeared in my hand. The inside looks and smells really good, I might even save it for a post on its own. I can’t wait to try it! That and use it in my new thermos:
Damn right! :melon: I think I’ll be using this one more with my new three week job as a vampire. I need a bottle that won’t drip, and my large behemoth of a tea thermos doesn’t fit the profile I need sadly, fortunately with this and the one I won for coming in third place in the Halloween contest I’ll be in good hands suckling on watermelon nectar during the witching hour.
Watermelon tape… why not? This is almost too beautiful to use. Yutram suggested it would be great for book binding, hmmmmm perhaps a book involving watermelons perhaps?
Of course, we have to end with SCENTED FUCKING CANDLES!!!! This one is excellent! A soy candle with the essence of watermelon, and really cool colors!
Already did a test burn as per the ritual, and it was successful. It actually smells better than the current watermelon candle I use, and that one already smelled good to begin with. Folks, you can never have too many watermelon candles, or melons. If this keeps going I’ll be the David Pumpkins of watermelons. :melon:
I owe a great thanks to my best friend, of whom I’ve had the honor to know for about a decade and a half. It’s hard for me to believe that I’ve known so many of you for so long and that we all still find time to talk to each other, maybe not as much as I’d like but hearing from you guys always puts sunshine and melons on my day. :melon: I owe great thanks, and will have to properly plan my gift vengeance to return the favor. :melon:
The Mocha Beast approves of my pillow.
I’d like to aim my spotlight at a friend of mine (Vamps): She’s been doing some excellent cross-stitching, and was inspired to make this beauty:
Coincidentally there is a discord I chill in that adopted a similar emote in my honor. It’s spreading like watermelon seeds! :happy:
Thank you! The world needs more melon love.
Not much to write. Played a bit of Okami tonight and came across a very important item.
I was reading a thread over on the Steam forums, people were complaining about the 30fps cap, and honestly… as someone who likes getting as many frames as possible (60 or up) I didn’t really notice. Maybe it’s the art style but the 30fps seemed fine for me, granted I would be happy if they or someone modded the game to run at a higher framerate, but the game performs fine enough that I’m glad I bought it. People were boycotting it because it wasn’t 60fps though… pffffft. :melon:
It isn’t everyday that I impulse buy something, but if you can’t tell from the pictures below I had a good reason to:
I’ve tested them a bit, they’re quite comfy. There’s also a different set I wanted to buy that had the same pattern, but they were out of my size. Oh well, two out of three ain’t bad. :happy:
Every so often Yutram and I will gather together to watch the internet together in one place, our cinema. As per tradition once we’re done doing most if not all of our viewing duties we will wreck the place, and by that I mean I ragdoll myself and Yutram moves stuff around. Apparently I thought sitting on a watermelon would make it hatch into… something.
And every so often there is a random ritual that must be performed. In this case we wished good luck melons to the Enchantress Motifa.
Of course, before all of this I was having fun running around and creating fun sleepovers in MGSV, I had my R&D team get on some extremely important gear for my horse.
The Metal Gear Series is serious business yo. :melon:
