Hope everyone is having a good weeks so far! I hope everyone hugged a cat and ate a vegan donut! I know I sure did. Alexa is starting to draw again, or rather sharing what she is drawing. This is Alexa’s bae AJ Lee. I am not a huge wrestling fan like Alexa, but I have to say I like how women are being represented. I mean I remember some of the big wrestlers when I was young and they were all HUGE, male or female. I think the current wrestlers are much more realistic looking.
Yesterday I was able to watch Totoro with my nieces and play outside with them. My older niece, Morgan, might of been too old for Totoro, but Gwen, who is 4, thought it was a hilarious movie. I am thinking Morgan might like Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, or Ponyo better. The funny thing is that I remember watching Ponyo with Morgan when she was very young, and she was in tears when they went to the retirement home. Which was pretty funny in my opinion. I think the music made it seem like something bad would happen.

Sadly my farm was running low on bok choy by the time we got there because these noodles looks sooo yummy.
I need to get me some fakon-bacon and try out this yummy looking radish dish.
This dish inspired me to take corn and red curry to a whole new level.
Nature:
I am usually not surprised by article that tell you have to make meals more “nutritious” but this one blew me out of the water. It is funny some of the recommendations I do, but mostly out of laziness. XD
Sadly there is a huge die-off of saiga. The article sad, but hopefully the population bounces back.
Things get creepy when sawtooth sharks start reproducing asexually.
Fun Stuff:
OMGOMGOMGOMG! Franklin Fountain is having fresh COTTON CANDY at their candy store. That is my favorite type of carnival food. They also have a temp location at the Spurce Street Harbor Park. They BEST have some vegan options available!
Guys I’ve been going nuts over these Sailor Moon workout tanks. I bought a the Sailor Squats, Fight Like a Girl: Jupiter, Crush Misogyny into Moon Dust, and Buns & Guns. I am also hoping sleeveless shirts helps with my friction burn on my upper arm.

If you were wondering why there are so many crazy names for vitamins- here is your answer.
SciShow is on a roll this week (actually two articles I posted were things I found out from SciShow but didn’t want to post ANOTHER video). Anyways, this video is about the probable Megadrought that is coming to the west coast.
