eating olives and watching return of the jedi hmu
@catalina the only return of the jedi is the original return of the jedi
@catalina also, what kind of olives
@patience just kalamata
@catalina kalamata are the pits
@patience wow rude
@catalina hey i love kalamatas
@patience oh thank god
do they have trader joe's in canada? they have a nice cheap medley
@catalina no, TJ's has never been in canada
and i've never seen cheap kalamata olives here. but i do know where the olive bars are (mostly at loblaws supermarkets)
@patience is that like whole foods
@catalina mercifully, no
we have whole psycheque here, and it's only for the 1%'ers (located in the Mink Mile)
no, loblaws is a major canadian grocery company with lots of regional/provincial supermarket brands (here in its home base, it's Loblaws and No Frills, but others areas include Zehr's Provigo, and so on), but they make a lot of their own food products under the brand name 'president's choice', which is usually less spendy than on-brand stuff and is also superior in quality and flavour and variety nearly always
exciting huh
@patience whenever i drive up to the bay and back i stop at a different TJs it's kind of sad
@catalina how come
@patience maybe i should visit other grocery stores
@catalina there are other grocery stores there, aren't there
@patience exactly
i worry about becoming terminally basic
and it doesn't help that some starbucks sell nitrogen coffee now meaning i go there regularly for the first time in my life
@catalina ::raised brow:: "nitrogen coffee"
is 'terminally basic' a synonym for something along the lines of 'spoilt rotten' or nah
@patience nitrogen coffee rules omg
basic is different than spoiled, but i can't think of a good definition off the top of my head
@catalina hmmm
well, my coffee i think is nitrogen-free, which i imagine is pretty hard to do since the atmosphere is about 78 per cent nitrogen. i buy a canadian brand inspired by a vancouver theme which isn't exciting, but it isn't terrible, either
granted, i love clover presses, but those aren't exactly everywhere. as for nitrogen coffee… i'm an uncultured rube
@patience when you poor it there's a head like beer has and it's so foamy and smooth
@catalina hmm. sounds novel. sort of like having a coffee porter beer, except no beer
@catalina and now i'm having a cheap, nitrogen-free coffee ☕
@patience mm, i could go for that right now
@catalina come on over
@catalina hey you know it's the weekend and you can sleep in, right
@patience yeah, but now i'm hungry too so i should probably just get out of bed
@catalina come on over. i'll make eggy-in-the-basket
@catalina (based solely on the two times i saw it on V for Vendetta)
@patience i've always called them cowboy eggs, which doesn't make nearly as much sense
@patience either way that sounds better than the grape nuts and raisins i'm eating now
@catalina hey, i loved grape nuts for my entire life before they changed the recipe sometime last decade. they got less hearty and when warmed into a hot cereal concoction, became less "buttery" in their flavour
you're eating healthily at least. i've been eating like garbage for most of this three-year depression :P
@catalina and because you are what you eat, that means, yes, garbage it me
@patience yeah i know the steps to this one
https://selfy.army/media/QUjCr_Te7X7HdygzATo
@catalina oh yeah? well, i'm still stuck at 2.0 (and there are two garbage songs i have been known to sing, one of them never available in karaoke catalogues despite it being one of their singles)
you've seen pics of me deteriorating over the years… surely there's no way you think my approaching the garbage event horizon has made me closer to beautiful, do you
@patience omg garbage event horizon
and with more coffee i could probably say something coherent about it being silly to conceptualize beauty as a universal attribute that we get closer and further from over the course of our lives
but you already know that so shush
@catalina you're smrt — no, wise — years ahead of me <3
@patience i said shush ❤️
@patience ok hold on i need my emoji dictionary
@patience i love grocery trivia
