Today I cooked a donut burger.



Huh. So that's what a heart attack would look like if it were an object...


Not really. The donut wasn't glazed and it didn't have sugar sprinkled on it. It was a plain donut. I didn't fry the donut, just grilled it. About 600 calories isn't exactly a high calorie dinner lol



Fair enough, but then whats the point? It's just a bun with a hole in it.


The point was someone gave me half a dozen plain donuts and I didn't want to eat them because they taste bland. They just taste like normal buns. So instead of letting them go to waste I decided to do something useful with them.

]That looks delicious. Are you Russian?



I'm not, but I like Russia/Eastern Europe since I was child :D Although I'm from Brazil, with portuguese, austrian and triestini origin, so I have no ties to it. I used to love maps when I was little so I think I just liked Russia because it was big, but I don't remember exactly.



my achievement today was that I woke up early even when I went to sleep very late

I achieved nothing today.

Tomorrow, aside from a brutally hard ab workout ( which I'm not looking forward to ), I will achieve nothing.

Today I recieved a certificate because on Wednesday I won the office Retro Gaming tournament. The game of the month is Point Blank. I got the highest score out of the office.

Job trial went well. I almost managed to behave like a normal person for a few hours - I think.

I never got why this song is so popular


My achievement today is that I finish the plan for my studio project and at least until now I like it

Cool!

I really like the way your living room design is focused on the TV. A narrow room with two opposing walls is the way to go. One wall for the couch and one wall for the TV. I really hate being in houses where the TV is miles away from the couch or even worse, where the couch and the TV are at right angles.

Just as I hate houses where the living room doesn't have two opposing walls. E.g. one wall has the front door in the middle of it, one wall is open to the kitchen/dining room and one wall has the path to the stairs or hallway so it's impossible to put a 3 seater couch up against the wall without blocking access to something (in a really big room the couch can go near the middle but the average sized room is getting smaller all the time).

Anyway, kudos for coming up with a very practical layout. What's it for? Is it for your course? Is it for a house you're planning to build?, etc.

Is the open space in the top left corner a balcony? A patio? Is this design for an apartment? For a unit? A holiday home? Is it freestanding or attatched? Is it meant to be at ground level or up a building?

I find this all very interesting :)

in the wee hours of this new day, I achieved an even greater appreciation for an even wider variety of music including works by finnish composer Einojuhani Rautavaara, his symphony #7 "angel of light" has to be heard to be believed, as is his novel composition "cantus arcticus" which uses sampled birdsong played through loudspeakers as part of public performance. :dj:
Oh wow that music is amazing! Can you recommend more music? :)

I think the long-forgotten compositions of Leroy Anderson should be listened to anew by a new generation.
