Sunday

Fanart: Apparently last Tuesday was International Kissing Day, so here, here, here, here, here, here, and here. That pose! ZYL pinky promise. A little NSFW desk sex for you. Zhu Hong! Hamster and weasel in historical garb. Ye Zun. Soft affection. Zhao Yunlantern.

Bai Yu in his fairy prince outfit. Short clip from Z1L's Funeral Family The Zhubai is real. This gif is... a lot (help). The many faces of Bai Yu. And one with arm muscles! Bai Yu actually did that stunt???

Co-worker A came over for dinner Friday night and we made this. I haven't had tofu in ages. I avoid large amounts of soy bc thyroid issues but oh wow yum. I'd forgotten how much I liked it. And I really like Coworker A, y'all! Such a fun person, and very neat that we've already become friends. They've been on vacation since July 1 but return on Monday. It'll be nice to have them back in the office.

I felt mostly okay for most of Saturday despite staying up late the night before. Reading Shakespeare with yaaurens and company was lovely. Nothing bonds like laughing to tears over sexual innuendo. I could barely see to read my lines at one point.

Today I'm running errands so we'll see how I feel after that.

No writing this week.

Ohh that tofu looks delish! Too bad that if I made it, the kid would eat all the tofu and leave me with the greens. 😁

And hey, so glad to hear your colleague is nice. It makes working so much more enjoyable.

[clevermanka]

You could always make it without the greens (although I really like gai lan and might make it without the tofu when I'm not eating with company).

I'm so lucky to like my office mate so much. We spend a lot of our waking hours in very close quarters!

I got distracted by your links for a bit, but that tofu dish seems yummy! I am saving the recipe.

[tinny]

Thank you for all the links! <3

ZHUBAI IS REAL. (*ahem*)

It's funny how I have watched that interview many times, and have not consciously seen these things. :D

[clevermanka]

I got distracted by your links
SUCCESS! \o/

ZHUBAI IS REAL
I mean, I'm usually not one for theories or conjecture about people's personal lives but come on. 😂

Having friends over and eating delicious food (thank you for sharing that recipe, it looks amazing) sounds wonderful. Glad you're having a good time. ♥

That tofu dish looks amazing! I tend not to eat soy as much for the same reasons, but I do enjoy it a lot (as long as it's fried- not a huge fan of tofu chunks that are just...there).

I am so loving all this company and socializing you've been able to do (and enjoy).

[clevermanka]

Love sharing recipes! Co-worker A found that one, so credit to them.

Eventually I need to branch out beyond bok choy, gai lan, and eggplant, but that's what the stores seem to mostly have and I like them, so...

[clevermanka]

It's so good to socialize! You know I've been needing it. I even have an invite for next weekend to attend a garden party with a variety show on the porch!

Pretty sure it's gonna get scaled back when the students return and our Delta Variant numbers go through the roof, so I'm enjoying it while I can.

That looks delicious--it is a minor life goal of mine to actually fry tofu up golden without making a mess in the pan. (Also I have very minor hypothyroid stuff and should maybe observe the results the next time I eat mabo tofu, hm, thanks for hint). And I'm so glad you have a sympathetic coworker!

Reading Shakespeare with yaaurens and company was lovely.
That sounds like so much fun honest to God.

The Zhubai is real. This gif is... a lot (help).
I mean...as you say, it's all baseless speculation about real people, but...wow, if "head over heels" doesn't look like that I can't imagine what it would look like.

[shipperslist]

Oh, I like the greens, my teenager is just a picky eater. 😁

[clevermanka]

Pretty sure the only way to do the tofu is in a non-stick skillet with a good amount of oil.

if "head over heels" doesn't look like that I can't imagine what it would look like.
The way their eyes meet and mouths open slightly in perfect unison... *whimper*

[elenothar]

I had no idea international kissing day existed until five minutes ago, but I can't argue with the results...

Just looking at the photo of that dish made me crave it, oh no. (And I actually, coincidentally, had tofu yesterday, so I shouldn't complain :P)

[khellekson]

The desk sex is lovely! So... lovely...

[clevermanka]

I hope your tofu was equally delicious!

[clevermanka]

SERIOUSLY. Shen Wei's finger in Zhao Yunlan's mouth, and the way Zhao Yunlan's eyes are so unfocused??? nggngngngng

[yaaurens]

I'm so glad you had fun at Shakesday! We're all definitely looking forward to more reading from you. :-D

Also very glad you're getting along well with a Coworker, enough so to have hang out time.

[clevermanka]

Oh thank you, I'm so glad! I felt bad when ... errr I don't remember their name... took over reading Cominus, but I wasn't sure if you wanted me to carry it for the entire play or not. It being my first time I didn't want to step on toes!

[yaaurens]

It's always awkward when we have to multi-shuffle a part - definitely an easier thing to manage with in-person reads, but hey, it worked out. And whenever there's a part going spare, always feel free to jump in as needed!
