I have tried almost every instant ramen out there.
This.
This is the best.
Don't let the "vegetarian flavour" put you off, it doesn't matter. These are AMAZING. Put seasoning in bottom of bowl, boil about half as much water as they say (maybe a cup to a cup and a quarter) heat the oil in the water, pour it all on the noodles, cover the bowl for five minutes then send me checks because you're all so damn thankful I told you about this great ramen
Closely follow these steps for protecting yourself against a potentially damaging fall : 1) Realize you're falling. (Important!) 2) Resist the urge to project hands forward. Hold them to your side. 3) Use the immense girth of your midsection as one of the few advantages that have been afforded to you in an otherwise cruel life, along which we all shuffle together until our roughly simultaneous demises.
The latest WHOMP! reminds me that I have learned to fall by twisting my body to roll onto my back.
I learned this as a child when I would make movies of my friends and I and we needed to preform "stunts" like jumping from a moving bicycle.
This is how I broke both my wrists. In separate incidents.
The second time, my right arm had clearly learned its lesson because it flew way up out of the way while my left arm boldly sacrificed itself.
Last time I went to the theater I saw guardians of the galaxy and we saw it on those cinemark XD screens and they had what felt like la-z-boy chairs in there.
My big problem with falling is that most often when it happens, I'm in a theatre holding popcorn.
Damn irregular sized and spaced stairs.
You'd think they wouldn't have stairs in a place designed to compromise your vision upon room changes
edit: Hey, why the heck is the lobby so bright anyway?! They should give your eyes time to adjust, and then the concessions menus and movie posters would seem that much brighter!

cineplex has this VIP movie theatre thing here.
They have waiters who bring you snacks and drinks in your seats (up to 5 minutes before previews start), and I feel that's very good and needs to be implemented everywhere.
On one of my Grandma's many trips to Ireland she tripped on an old cobblestone pathway and broke an arm and gave herself a nasty black eye. She didn't tell us the whole story at first and simply said that we "should have seen the other guy" when we picked her up at the airport.
Apparently when she went back the next year, the tour guide was still telling the story of the nice old lady that beat up the sidewalk.

If you were in the tour guide's position, would you ever stop telling that story?
I bought the ingredients and made breakfast burritos (or more accurately, breakfast soft tacos because i can't fold burritos)
nothing will ever be as good as I remember mcdonald's breakfast burrito being. It helped a bit that I used taco bell taco sauce though
the big surprise was how Aldi's italian sausage links are cheaper than their not-italian sausage roll. I just open a link and brown it like regular sausage
since i moved, the grocery store closest to me has the cheapest beer in the city
currently on can #2
yesterday i finally got around to watching thor 2. the loki transformation sequence made me laugh harder than i've laughed in a long time
how are you guys doing
About six deep in bourbon, watching Psych. Giving myself high-fives every few minutes for support. Just tried to eat my cell phone because I thought it was an ice-cream sandwich. About to have some more bourbon and start practicing my spin kicks for my Chun-Li cosplay later this year at the con that only happens in my bedroom, invite only. Last year, even I couldn't get in.

Do they haunt the unfinished fort or the dumpster and linen closet?
Ironically, the linen closet is also unfinished, so they're splitting their time. They're surprisingly cheerful. Calling it a time-share, but I suspect they'll get sick of both each other and the location within a few months.

It's not as simple as dressing up to leave my room, Agrias. When a person who is practically a stranger in your home sees you emerge from a door, that appearance becomes that which defines you to that person. You go for one thirst-quenching Shasta, and to this person you're suddenly ''The quiet guy who I think hates me and forgot I was here when they loudly practiced singing the theme to Evangelion.''

My problem in these situations, as someone who thinks far too much about how other people see me, is that I feel that by walking out of my seclusion, past these guests, and then back behind a closed door, I am stating that "no, I and whatever I am doing in privacy are far better and more important than you people". I'm fine up to that point, but the ol' anxiety kicks in and tells me that making my presence known and then going back is one colossal snub to these people.
I have gotten better at dealing with this in recent years.
But... but whatever I am doing in privacy is far better and more important than those people.
Oh I know that, but as long as I'm contained within that cocoon of privacy, they never have to think about it. By leaving, making my presence known, then returning to it, I am showing them just how special I am, and how little I care about them.
I had a problem where my internet was dropping a hundred times a day (literally. 5+ times an hour). It would seem to do better at night, and barely dropped at all during winter. Had tech guys come out several times, got several modem replacements - did everything. At one point I was begging the tech guy to figure out what was wrong. (Of course, the internet NEVER went down when someone was actually working on it.)
I ended up searching the problem and found that sometimes there's a metal contact that expands and contracts in the heat when it's damaged or old. However, I was so afraid of making the tech guys mad at my self-diagnosis, I didn't say anything. One day, we finally got a tech guy that came out and said "Oh yeah, contact's bad. Expands and separates in the heat." And didn't have a problem since.
Hey hey, let's not get hasty. I will never give up on egg in a real ramen bowl!
i hope some day to actually get to eat real ramen

The San Diego location should be open by now. I assume you go to Comic Con? Next year punch it into your google maps or yelps or what have you.
They specialize in tonkotsu which, for anyone who may not know, is basically broth with melted butter in it.

Which street are you on?
Maybe we can get together and envy each other while lamenting our self-perceived flaws sometime?
