Speaking of lunch. I’m kind of hoping the wife doesn’t want this fried halloumi, tomato and basil plate I offered her earlier. With a pitta and some hummus it will make a nice lunch tomorrow.

A plate features fried cheese pieces garnished with basil and served with two cherry tomatoes.

We have our work “Vision Day” tomorrow. Some last minute emails back and forth about what we might do for lunch. Agreement reached on “bring your own”. Still no “vision document” that we were promised. Wish me luck.

Hovercraft’s most ambitious and psychologically complex composition, this two-part epic traces the complete arc from deification to self-destruction. Beginning with “Now You’re God,” the song examines the toxic relationship between celebrity worship and personal identity, building through religious imagery and maternal prayers to the devastating conclusion of “Dying Comes So Easy.”

The haunting “frozen eye” imagery and repeated maternal prayers (“Pray for your son mama”) create hypnotic passages that mirror 📷obsessive thought patterns, while the religious symbolism elevates personal trauma to mythic proportions. The progression from external worship to internal destruction reveals the cruel mathematics of celebrity culture.

A man stares at his cracked reflection in a mirror with a clock overhead and a church-like window, accompanied by the words "NOW YOU'RE GOD."

Sick and evil.

Big kid just created his first website using Google Sites.

I lost interest in cooking, and lost interest in eating salad. Today I was hungry, so I made a simple tomato sauce with fried onions, dried garlic and Italian herbs, dried porcini mushroom juice, jalapenos and fresh basil. I fried some chestnut mushrooms separately in butter and garlic, and chopped up small some red, yellow and orange sweet peppers. Served with some posh dried fiorelli (?) pasta. No cheese required. Honestly, it was restaurant quality, light, tasty, enough. Usually I would fry the mushrooms and peppers with the onion and have them in the sauce. Leaving them out really improved the dish. Plenty left for tomorrow.
