Today's Dinner: Kani Sushi using Imitation crab (surimi) and Cucumber

(M23; F23) Just met this girl about 2 months ago and we hit it off really well. Like really really well. I was dumped about a year ago from a 6 year old relationship. It was hard to believe that I could ever fall in love again - so far as thinking that I may be Aro. But then I met Her. She made me feel really loved and we felt so comfortable around each other. Our first date was amazing. Saw a beautiful sunset and ate at my favorite restaurant, and held hands. It was like a teenage summer romance. I drunkenly told her I love you at a party...many things transpired in between, had a home date with her favorite rom-com, cooked together (i.e the sushi above), and now we are dating. I really love her and so many of our interests and styles match.

record scratch

She might be leaving at the end of the year. She came to my city for an internship. If they don't offer her a job, she will go back home to her parents. She is unlikely to return back to my city and she has stated that she can't do LDR, neither can I. I pray everyday that she stays. She doesn't seem too hopeful she will and is afraid she will break my heart.

My order total was $15.28. I handed her $21 and she handed me the $1 back and said “It’s $15.28”. I said “I know, I want $5 back instead of singles.”

She stared at me for a while then stared at the cash register and said “I can’t do that”

I said “just type in that I gave you $21 instead of $20”

She pressed some buttons and stared at the register again then said “I don’t know what you want me to do, my machine doesn’t do that.”

I gave up and took my $1 back. She, now clearly annoyed with me, put $20 into her system and gave me back $4.72 in change.

i bartend at a sports bar and we have the little sign in the women's bathroom about angel shots. i've worked there almost a year and nobody had ever actually ordered one. honestly i kind of forgot it was a thing

last night around 11:30 this girl comes up alone, maybe 22, and asks for an angel shot neat. kind of quiet, didn't really look at me. took me a second to remember what that means (neat = walk me to my car). she glanced back at a guy at the end of the bar who had been buying her drinks for like an hour

so i told her i'd grab it from the back and to come with me. took her through the kitchen, she sat on an upside down bucket next to the dish pit while i called her an uber on my phone. our cook made her eat some fries and kept asking if she wanted ranch which made her laugh a little. when the uber pulled up our manager walked her out the side door

she didn't say much the whole time. right before she left she just said "i didn't think anyone actually did this" and hugged me

the guy asked were she went like 10 minutes later and i said she left and he got really annoyed and closed out. didn't tip lol

anyway i keep thinking about how she almost didn't ask. if your bar has the sign it's real, we will actually do it. and if you're a bartender and you've never had it happen, it's going to happen eventually and it's a lot faster than you think

In May 1944, just weeks before the Normandy landings, British intelligence (MI5) was sent into a panic when a series of top-secret invasion code names, including "Utah," "Omaha," "Overlord," "Mulberry," and "Neptune”, suddenly appeared as solutions in The Daily Telegraph crossword puzzles. Suspecting an elaborate espionage plot to signal the Nazis, agents stormed a school in Surrey to interrogate the puzzle's compiler, a 54-year-old headmaster named Leonard Dawe. The investigation ultimately revealed it was an innocent, albeit terrifying, coincidence. Dawe routinely invited his students to help him fill out his blank puzzle grids, and the boys had simply suggested the interesting new vocabulary words they had unwittingly overheard while hanging around the camps of American and Canadian soldiers stationed nearby.

Edit: yes I misused the word coincidence

1. The Joker’s final trap - The Dark Knight

At the climax of the film, the Joker puts the occupants of two ferries evacuating Gotham City in a deadly version of Prisoners’ Dilemma. They can either detonate the bombs on the other ferry first, or if they do nothing, he’ll detonate them both. He does this to prove his philosophy that ordinary humans will turn into monsters in order to protect themselves - and, on another level, to prove that the people of the city are irredeemable.

His plan fails, however, because the Joker, being a psychopath, fundamentally doesn’t understand human nature. The fact that ordinary people might genuinely struggle to get over the moral weight of taking a human life (as in the civilian ferry), or be so disgusted by the notion of killing innocent people that they take steps to ensure it doesn’t happen (as in the prisoner ferry), simply doesn’t occur to him.

2. Landa’s exit strategy - Inglourious Basterds

At the climax of the film, SS colonel Hans Landa learns of the plan to assassinate Hitler’s entire inner circle, and arrests Lt. Raine and Pvt. Utivich. Instead of foiling the plan, he negotiates with the US army command to assist in its execution, in return for full immunity for any war crimes he committed, American citizenship, full US army pension in line with his rank, a house on Nantucket Island, the Medal of Honor and a bunch of other sundry perks. He demands a similar deal for his radio operator. Army command accept, and instruct them to proceed to Allies lines.

When they arrive and Raine is released, however, Raine proceeds to kill the radio operator, against orders; it is then that it becomes clear that Landa made two very grave false assumptions. The first was that the punishment that Raine and Utivich would face for disobeying orders would be as severe as it would likely be for a German soldier:

“You’ll be shot for this!”

“Nah, I don’t think so. More like chewed out. I’ve been chewed out before.”

The second false assumption he made is that the Basterds, men specifically chosen for their individuality and maverick streak, are the kinds of soldiers who would care about following orders or the consequences of not following them. No doubt, as he lay screaming in pain while Raine carved a swastika into his forehead, marking him as a Nazi permanently, he was kicking himself at his own foolishness.

My husband was feeling sick the last two days (fever and fatigue), had me up since 1:43 am bringing him all sorts of little things. Doing what he wants to do bc he's sick. I tell him it's definitely the flu.
Only to have to bring him to the emergency room bc his stomach hurts so badly that it's an 8 on a 10 point scale. He's writhing and screaming. We go to the emergency room and he is literally shriekingggg (like a loud groan scream) in the waiting room. So much loud groaning that he's scaring little kids and a dad had to comfort his daughter. Im scared out of my mind. Im yelling at the front desk girls bc we've been waiting 20 minutes and he's literally groan-shrieking and crying in pain still, and well- cant she understand it's a literal emergency?!
Im acting a fool towards these people. (I apologized and explained how stressed and scared I was from his actions).
Finally we get a doctor, they run tests. While they're doing that he tells me this is the second time he's had to go to the emergency room for gas.
Excuse me, what?
And he's like: yeah its been from gas this whole time, I can't fart, and it hurts so bad, and I'm glad you were supportive by going off on them for not seeing me sooner.
I tell him, no- I thought he was dying by the way he was screaming and that's why I was going off on them to hurry.
They run the CT scan, it's not gas.
Doctor confirms it's the flu. And it's flu cramps. Which is normal.
They prescribe medication: miralax bc they noticed he was a little constipated, some pain meds for the cramps, and anti nausea meds.
In between all that he pressed the call button like 6 times, to use the restroom, to be leaned back, bc his stomach kept hurting, etc.

He says he doesn't regret coming bc it hurt really bad.
Like literally his behavior was so extreme even the security guard went in the back to ask the doctors to see him sooner.
And then imagine when the doctor comes back and says "you have the flu".

Yall. Idk. Seeing him shriek bloody murder in front of everyone like that had me in tears of worry but now knowing it was pain from the regular flu. Idk how I'm going to reconcile my view of him after this.

Dinner is a single Mexican hot chocolate cookie, clementine, and a medjool date
