I was hoping the water at Denver International Airport would taste good, since Coors Light advertisements like to shill that it uses real Rocky Mountain Water (not tm). It tasted pretty bad though. We used up our one-time United Club ™ passes. It’s ok, please don’t actually pay $50+ to chill in a club in an airport.
tfw I tell my coworkers I’m going to Ohio and they ask “….Ohio?”
snacks
well, where’s his island?
I’ll probably summarize my thoughts after another day there tomorrow. Great fun though! Initial thoughts are Orion being a little disappointing sitting in the 2nd row comparing it against Fury 325, but after getting additional rides in the back and getting more floater airtime on the hills I had a better impression of it. Racer is a really cute dueling wooden coaster that is better than it looks; Diamondback a decent B&M Mega with good floater but pales compared to Seaworld Orlando’s Mako, and Mystic Timbers probably one of the best GCI wooden coasters despite lacking the ‘verticality’ elements I like in other ones. The Beast I probably would have to flesh out in more detail later, but for something made in 1979 (though technically it’s had refurbishments this year!) is pretty damn good in present day!
how many ways do you need your chili?
We opted to eat Skyline Chili for dinner. It’s a chain local to this part of Ohio, though I would consider their chili to be more like a beef sauce than a chili, as I would expect a chili to not only contain ground beef but also stuff like kidney beans or simmered vegetables in it. This dish includes some spaghetti, chili, grilled cheese (the most popular “3-way”), and diced onions (making it a “4-way”). It’s not amazing, but it’s good! Maybe consider it a spin on spaghetti using chili instead of tomato sauce but with grilled cheese added to it.
My brother wanted to check out this local ice cream chain. Since they’re able to state Since 1870 on their logo, that mean’s it’s probably at least decent. I opted to have a waffle cone with Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip and Bourbon Ball. The chocolate chips are really big, since they made their ice cream batches individually. The bourbon ball also had a bunch of other little crunchy shits in it, but it’s not annoying to me like Rocky Road and it’s almonds. Very good!
Settled in to our hotel for the night. I haven’t played my mahjong game for the day yet as of 23:30 Eastern Daylight Time. But I can pretend I’m still on Pacific Daylight Time and say it’s 20:30, so I still have time…!? Luckily I’m not dead from only sleeping 3 hours.
Finished up the 2nd half of this book. Think 呉マサヒロhas been one of the stronger artists for quite a while, though he’s moved on to mostly original books now.
Finished my annual performance self-review for work. I don’t like buttering myself up to others, but maybe I should do it to make a better case for my own performance. In an ideal world my actions should speak for themself… right? But sometimes I am lazy at work and maybe people might remember that more than the good stuff, so I should be careful for what I wish for. Haha
When I was packing I realized I didn’t have my dakimakura compression bag anymore. I think I threw it out after my last Japan trip since there was a hole in it somewhere causing it to decompress fairly quickly after sealing it up, but I forgot to buy a new one. So now I am just bringing my head pillow in my luggage. Since it’s the king size tall pillow it’s kinda close… so we’ll have to make do with what we got.
Also, in shocking news, I decided I’m not going to bring an onahole or オカズ to read for this trip! Main reason being I don’t really wanna whack off after a full day of walking around and being tired. Definitely out of character but we’ll see if this backfires spectacularly or not. whee
try stealing this luggage set while the there’s a guy with a cute anime girl shirt on nearby. i dare ya
Anyway, all packed and ready to go. Maybe bust a last one out before I take a nap and leave for the airport in 4 hours. (It’s 22:30 as of writing). cya
kill other wind availability over cutting once cut ones
i chose the wrong ryanmen (terminal wait > middle waits)
muh genbutsu
9m useless
just fold bro
some cope for fast haku + dora 2… ;_;
I didn’t think 8m kanchan is good enough to chase against that. feel like this is unnecessarily reckless but maybe i should be more unnecessarily reckless and btfo myself more haha
Oh I thought I still want 8m acceptance. but I guess I also lose 7p acceptance too going to other way
I feel like I can’t let toimen tsumo…. but I’m decent shape 1shanten already so am I really improving that much? by taking this? Maybe I’m overly fixated on being stuck on 8s tenpai if I draw 236m2s and that being a “bad wait” so I perceive switching to tanyao as an upgrade for better end wait
I don’t like that the characters were switched half way through. feels like false advertising honestly. I will be filing a complaint with the fair trade commission shortly
Work work work! Still need to finish my annual self-review tomorrow. I have good reviews from my superiors but it’s noted that I need to be better with time management (aka hurry the fuck up and turn shit in) and delegation (assign work to your juniors and stop carrying the fuck out of them).
I played the game I bought yesterday and… I might have bitten off more than I can chew. Dialogue seems to be a little more complicated than I’m comfortable with reading at a quick. Maybe I bite the bullet and read slower or come back later… or maybe it’ll start to make more sense later. ;_; It’s ok it can only get better from here right haha. Also it doesn’t work on my steam deck why the fuck not its an rpg maker game aaaaiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I should really try to sleep early today since my flight on Saturday is at 05:00, so we need to leave the house by 02:30. Which means all I’ll get is a nap the night before! It’s 21:30 now so time to fap and nap zzzzzzzzz
Umm I woke up and worked and did some employee reviews and watched captain get clapped!
champ
I couldn’t handle that many 4ths in a day. good job cabin
There was supposed to be an in office poker event tomorrow, but it got cancelled! One of the guys keeps asking me to play but I have to remind him that’s not my game. At best I’ll be the dedicated dealer or something. Maybe one day we can have an office mahjong night. haha i ain’t teaching everyone that shit
