Ramblings:
Chaos and I decided to do something new since its the weekend. I suggested we try and have lobster for dinner which he agreed to. So we bought three medium sized lobster from the grocery. The guy just placed all three in a clear plastic bag. So there I was all happy over the prospect of having lobster for dinner when he suddenly asks while driving home , “how do they breathe like that in the bag?”. I don’t know and right now I don’t care how they breathe.
The rest of the conversation looks like this:
Upon arriving home and placing it on the counter topChaos: Maybe we should look up the most humane way of cooking them.Dark Raivenn: What do you mean , most humane way of cooking? Chaos: Well we are killing it and I don’t want to kill it.Dark Raivenn: But I want to eat lobsters for dinner, what does that make me? A killer?! Chaos: How about you cook it thenDark Raivenn: *glares* it’s not hard, you just boil them Chaos: But we are killing it , how about we do it the least painful way possible. Maybe you should look it up on the netDark Raivenn: You know you are “killing” indirectly with everything you consume throughout your lifetime (I can’t believe I am having a killing discussion when all I want is a good dinner)Chaos: Yes, but not directly. You know I’ve always wanted to be a zoologist when I was a kid because I love animals.Dark Raivenn: FINE! I’ll look it up. Ugh
Few seconds later
Dark Raivenn: Here is a sheet of paper with instructions on how to cook them. There is also a discussion there about how some people argue that the nervous system of a lobster is too simple for it to any pain at all like insects. *sighs* There is also a “relaxation technique” there that says you should try freezing them a bit for 5-10 minutes in the fridge to numb them. It produces the lowest number of tail flicks upon insertion into the boiling water was thought to mean that the lobster felt less pain. (why am I going through this... All I want is a good lobster dinner)Chaos: *picks up the bag and looks seriously at it * I am sorry your dinnerDark Raivenn: Great now I feel guilty for wanting to eat them
10 minutes later
Chaos: *looks at the bag* But they are still moving!Dark Raivenn: Of course they are , they are alive! It said freeze a bit not make it into an unmovable block of ice.--Dark Raivenn: *has a concerned look on her face* Well, you might want to leave the kitchen while this is cooking since its dying right now for sure. Didn’t Colin and Thuy said that they could hear tiny lobster screams when they start cooking lobsters? Chaos: *looks at the pot* Cant you see tiny lobsters with halos floating away from the pot right now. We killed it. Dark Raivenn: What?! So now you believe in god and a heaven?! *exasperated* Chaos: It was a joke! 
Dark Raivenn: How about I go boil you instead 
So dinner went fine but after all that drama I doubt I would want to go “kill” a lobster (Chaos’ words) and give them halos again just because I wanted a good dinner. How many people on earth go through discussions about god, heaven, humanity, his childhood dream etc. over before finally getting to eat dinner.
I've never forgotten this place. I cant. Sometime soon my shadow will once again lurk around these halls. 
sprayed my indoor plants with this cat spray to keep my two cats away from them and now the air around the house "taste" bitter. Yuck! 
still cant figure out how to have the text color on the main post not be too white to lessen the contrast with the black background. Anybody has any ideas? 
Made the text brighter.
