I had Subway for the first time in years the other day. I had a ham and turkey on tiger bread and maybe it was because I was realllyyy hungry but it was amazing.

11 inches of snow over the past two days. I was supposed to start a new "project" at work where I am helping out with something with local high school students and schools have been cancelled. So since that was really the only thing on my work schedule, I decided to just take Thursday and today (Friday) off, rather than work from home with essentially nothing to do. So I have a nice four day weekend, thanks to the snow!

On one hand, all the memes going around about the Current Situation feel like they are made by clueless westerners, which strikes a sour note with me.
On the other hand, Ukrainians are memelords (look at the official Ukraine Twitter account) who are very used to using pitch black humour to cope with terrible things. So these memes would be right up their alley.
So I cannot find it in myself to even be annoyed by these memes and jokes.

Tumblr these days is probably the most chill social media platform I check on, but wow sometimes a post comes my way that just punches me in the face and melts away my brain cells with its ridiculous logic.

Canada has finally brought back Fruity Pebbles!
Had a bowl today! Last time I had some was two-three years ago? Maybe longer?

Facebook is Terrible (TM), but I use it anyway because sometimes it's the only way I'm able to keep in contact with people. But posts I don't follow sometimes show up, and normally I ignore them because I don't like to encourage that, but this time I saw a cool food thing in what looked like a recipe video, and one of the comments wrote out the actual recipe so I wouldn't have to watch it. Yay!
Cue one comment below where they described a substitution they did and how they liked the recipe, thank you person who wrote it out, etc, and... somehow it got angry smiley votes?? It wasn't a controversial substitution, it was pretty standard??
Some people just want to be angry.

I haven't used facebook since 2011. TBH, probably one of the best choices of my life.

After the news this evening, there was a travelogue on TV that we distractedly left on in the background while finishing making dinner. The travelogue itself seemed fine, I guess, but we got a ton of entertainment out of catching and recognizing their bizarrely eclectic background music. xD Before we turned it off, we recognized soothing string quartet versions of: Jurassic Park, Despacito, Lord of the Rings, and the Lion King. XD
(Tangentially related Mini-Comment: Then we took that as our cue to watch Jurassic Park. And man. It's been ages since I last saw it beginning to end! I think most of the non-sci-fi plot and character exposition must have gone clear over my head when I was smaller. XD (Like, I don't remember ever watching this before and actually understanding why they had to do X, Y, and Z to get the power and computers back on track.) Also, we put on the subtitles, which was, like, a whole 'nother level of "wow, I never caught that line before!" So, as awesome a movie as ever, except I got more of it this time! xD)

I have zero clue where else to put this, but thought I would share anyway. Kharkiv, my home city, as I remember it.Quick editorialising though: "The first building you see after arriving by train" is the centre of our metro system, where everything is run and coordinated from. "Something to do with the good old Communist Party..." is actually the university, my mother's alma mater. It predates the communist party, being founded in 1804. It's the best university in Ukraine. Building is Soviet, however. xD Wikipedia also has great pictures of my home city. I'll post more when I dig up pictures of it from my trip a few years ago. May much of this be preserved and may the city itself rise like a phoenix to be better and more beautiful than ever before. Glory to Ukraine.

The Wii U Crunchyroll app has it's issues, but it's the only way I can watch Healin Good Pretty Cure on my TV. (AL la Mode in May!) And that's good enough for the amazing Snaw.

*Goes to pick up a prescription from the pharmacy that I've gotten countless times before*
Pharmacist: Alright, and I'll just bring this over to consultation and someone can talk to you about this.
Me: I, uh, okay...?
Consulting Pharmacist: Alright, so have you used this prescription before?
Me: Y'know funnily enough, yeah xP
I don't know if there was some weird system glitch that made them think I was a first time user, but such an odd little thing to have happen xD
