What’s a now page?
I’m still in Ottawa and the pandemic is still going on. Given that I’m a healthy young adult who does everything from home plus the vaccine supply drama going on in Canada, I’m very far back in the line to get one.
MST3K is back… again
After its revival was abrutply cancelled by Netflix a few years ago, Mystery Science Theater 3000’s status was again in limbo. Just a few weeks ago, however, creator Joel Hodgson started a new crowdfunding campaign to fund another season with the same cast. This time, the core promise of the campaign is that MST3K will be self-published and distributed, bypassing any need to please a video network.
I’m excited for the chance to support an additional season of the show, since I missed the chance to fund the first revival season. RiffTrax, a cousin project formed by other MST3K alumni, already showed that self-publishing worked, and the main drive to produce the show came from its cult following, since networks have consistently been reluctant to keep supporting the show.
Nice weather on the balcony
I’ve moved into a new place with a balcony! Good timing, too, since it’s late April and the weather is only getting nicer. As a substitute for going outside, going out on the balcony is pretty good. I have a little wooden fold-up table and chair from Ikea just for occasions like this.
More meatless
Lately, I’ve been integrating more vegetarian and vegan recipes into my diet. At this point, I make something meatless two days in each week.
Meat is expensive, it’s less resource-efficient than just eating what the livestock would eat, and indirectly contributes to climate change. Canada’s healthy eating guide already recommends against making meat your only source of protein, and I’ve found that that’s not hard to achieve.
On numerous occasions, I’ve tried a new recipe, found that I really liked it, then discovered that it’s actually vegan, without explicitly being told this.
Why not try out this peanut butter soup recipe from You Suck at Cooking?
