lakeeffectgirlTonight I bought a ticket to The Last Duel for Thursday night. I'm hoping I'm the only person in the cinema, so that I can livetweet every single ridiculous acting choice Ben Affleck makes. (The reviews are amazingly hilarious.) I'm so excited.
It's squash season again so I am eating spaghetti squash constantly, which I am 100% fine with. Why is it the most delicious non-pasta thing to eat with various tomato sauces and/or cheeses? I had a batch of turkey meat spaghetti sauce (made with half a bottle of wine, no way it couldn't be delicious) that made several meals' worth even though I scaled it back significantly, and thawed the last container of tonight to eat in a squash boat with provolone broiled on top. (I did zucchini boats with it last week - good but not as good as spaghetti squash.) Earlier this week I made a spicy tomato and zucchini sauce, and half got shakshuka'ed and half got put into half a squash - all delicious. I found a chicken meatballs in bourbon mustard sauce recipe that I want to make just as a sauce (with mushrooms added) and not form the chicken into meatballs, and put that over the squash, and also a saffron chicken ragu recipe I want to try. I ordered stuff to do the bourbon sauce in my next grocery delivery, so that will be first. I am trying to eat some sort of vegetable with every lunch and dinner, and mostly succeeding. We did have pizza for a co-worker's birthday today at lunch but I only eat pizza once or twice a month, so I will let tomato sauce and mushrooms count as my vegetables for that.
I have asked for my Admirals 21-22 season tickets to be refunded. Not only is their COVID policy COMPLETE shit (it's just "wear a mask if you want", not even "unvaccinated people must wear a mask"), but there's a new bag policy where you can't bring anything larger than a wallet - so no purses, and there's not even a clear bag option - and the closer parking lot is closed for the entire season due to construction. Fuck that, I can't freakin' walk from the further parking lots in the middle of winter when it's freezing! That right there would have been a reason not to renew if they'd said ahead of time that the lot would be closed. Anyway, the head ticketing guy said on Monday he wasn't trying to put off giving me a refund but that he wanted to have discussions around the office about the points I brought up, and would get back to me Thursday morning - aaaaand no one has gotten back to me. It doesn't take a week to decide if you're going to give me a refund, ticket guy! Now you're just ensuring that I quit your team entirely, dude, and never go to another Admirals game ever.
Work is... well, every week just feels long these days. There are always about ten students on COVID quarantine in the dorms. Everyone tries to act like it's a normal school year but clearly it's not. Also we were last in state schools for vaccination rates and - ding! - it was partially because our students just dgaf and didn't upload their vax info. Once there was a big push reminding them, our rate went up 12%.
