Modern Times Decahex: Double Coconut Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stout (Picked up at the brewery itself in Point Loma, RIP). A 4 of 4. Having had the 10th Anniversary version of this and really enjoyed it, this is just that big, oily, boozy imperial stout with quite a bit of coconut to it, which is a nice addition and plays well. Really rounds it out a bit and makes it more dessert-y, not that it wasn't before. The bourbon barrel really helps cut some of the sweetness, too, and this is surprisingly balanced for its size.

if theres anything ive learned about science communication both online and offline its that people love unusually large or small versions of a creature. nothing really reaches across the barriers of age, education, or language like that does. if it has another interesting factor that seems mildly upsetting or surprising but not offensive to broad human cultural norms, that is a plus but its not required because even then for a single moment everyone is like damn, yeah, thats pretty big or small, and then even if they remember nothing else they might remember that the creatures are coming in Sizes. you know

if you are one of those who insists that ray is not responsible to mew's path to self-destruction because he is an adult, then congratulations, you can now finally understand why people are defending mew in the previous episodes because he is not ray's babysitter. they are adults. cut the double standards.

thank you very much.

"running joke about Tommy’s invariably double edged compliment-giving skills"

explain!?

...so in S4, there's a scene between Tommy and Lizzie where Lizzie tells him the office girls are hiring a prostitute to deflower Young Finn, and Tommy tells Lizzie to get some more cash and upgrade the tier of prostitute engaged so Finn "has a nice one". Paraphrasing from memory (this is not exact), part of the exchange goes like this:

Tommy: ---make sure you get a nice one

Lizzie: girls who do this sort of thing aren't nice

Tommy: (goes oddly demure, oddly flirty, abashed, bats his lashes) you're nice

Lizzie: (pulls one of her wildly complicated gamut of emotion confusing faces)

in my head, I was imagining her thinking something like the below where all thoughts occur simultaneously:

/ did...Tommy just give me a compliment? did he say something nice? to me? about me? what does he want from me? is this starting up again? / did...Tommy just deliberately remind me [I am] [I was] a prostitute again? / did he just fucking put me back in my place for expressing an opinion in an area where *I* actually know more than he does? / did he just....step completely out of line with me by bringing this up about me again, if, say, for example, I happened to even *have* any lines with this man? did he just cross my non-existent boundary?!?! why do i have no boundaries?? why does everything he says remind me I have no goddamned boundaries!! / did, did, did Tommy just suggest that *i* should be the one who............./..........OMG i can't believe that for a fraction of a second I thought Tommy just suggested *I* should deflower his little brother.... /

From which I have spawned an entire running headcanon that no matter what compliment Tommy gives any person alive, even if intended benignly, sincerely and motivated by kindness and fondness and care, it will spontaneously generate a spiral of pleasure/confusion/shock/doubt/hurt (and occasionally horror) in whoever receives the compliment, either because:

he somehow always manages to land on a combination of words and context that goes around hitting everyone's sore spots (because his way of living often means his overlaps/interactions with people involve sensitive actions and activities -> eg here he probably did just think "you're nice and you were a prostitute, that's ok?" but because it's such a complex, disempowered time of life for Lizzie, of course it's gonna hurt him putting her back into that frame even if he doesn't realise)

they have an image of him in their head [that isn't him] and they'll misread/add frames to fit that image of him, that make him seem more cutting, smartarsed and sharp than he actually intended

"just buy a pie," they said, "you're just going to eat the whole thing out of the tin anyways," they said, "it's not worth making a crust and a custard for," they said--

which is all well and good now that I live somewhere where you can actually buy pies,* except I am, uh, Paul Hollywood levels of judgy about commercial pies.

*my hometown has been a sad, pieless wasteland since the bakers square killed the competition and then died a slow, mass-produced death

true irony is my boss being the most transphobic person you can imagine but then taking testosterone injections to keep him virile in his old age. like hrt turns people into freaks and pedophiles when someone else does it but it's fine for YOU special white man

Today’s dinner is at Astons Specialities in Sembawang Shopping Centre. Mum’s Crispy Fried Fish (S$11.50++) with potato wedges and tasty rice. Mum was complaining that her fish came with almost half of its bread crumble coating gone.

I picked the Double Up Chicken (S$16++) and chose one each of the black pepper and crispy fried chicken. For the sides, I had garden veggies and potato wedges. My chicken is kind of over fried but is still pretty edible. Whoever the chef is today did not put in his heart and soul into preparing the food.

After dinner, we bought home a couple of pieces of the Chendol Agar Agar (S$1.50 each). Each triangle slice came with three layers – coconut milk & green rice flour jellies at the bottom, coconut milk, gula melaka & red beans at the centre and palm sugar agar agar on top. Overall, it is not too sweet with fragrance of coconut milk and gula melaka coupled with texture of red beans in every bite.
