Spicy is Always More Fun (Day 3394 - 3/11/19)

Previous Vlog (Day 3393) | Next Vlog (Day 3395)

The vlog starts out with Stephen saying that he removed the metal loops on the sides of the camera, so there will no longer be any "clanging" noises when he moves the camera. He also said that yesterday he mentioned he would be playing around with the color settings of the camera. Stephen said that today he is using the standard color setting because he is behind on some stuff and he doesn't want to have to spend time color grading the video.

He then says that today's vlog is starting around lunch time because they both slept in since they were tired. Stephen said that he would be having the leftover chicken from yesterday's dinner for lunch. He mentions that Mallory is also making a crab and cucumber salad (Kani salad). Mal says that this salad was the reason she needed to get the Japanese mayo from the Asian Market yesterday. Stephen says that he was about to call the mayo "Mayo Baby" since the packaging of the mayo has a baby on it. Mal says that the bottle is definitely weird.

Stephen then says that he is not a fan of foods that contain mayo or of items that have the name "mayo" in it. Mal says that she can make the mayo dressing for the salad spicy with sriracha. She mentions that sriracha is what is used for spicy tuna. Stephen tells her that she should add it because it will make it more fun. Mal questions what he means by "more fun". Stephen replies that "Spicy is always more fun". Mal then mixes a small amount of sriracha with the mayo. Stephen says that he can eat mayo if it's in a small amount, but seeing a huge glob of it in a bowl is the most disgusting thing in the world.

Stephen then says that he has some bad news. After 1 day of having the new office chair, Mal doesn't like her new office chair. Stephen says that Mal said it wasn't the same as the chair on display. Mal says that the back of the chair feels like it is tilted down and it makes her feel like she is almost sliding out of the chair. He says that Mal speculates that because the display chair has been tried out a lot, the seat of the chair is sunken down more so it's different than the new chair. Stephen says that it is a good thing they bought it from Costco because Costco will take back anything. Mal comments that they take "almost" everything back. Stephen says that they do take everything back, as they have returned toilet paper and food before.

Stephen says that he thought that Scott toilet paper was the same type of toilet paper that they had bought before. They got home and realized that it was 1-ply toilet paper which wasn't the same toilet paper they got before. Mal says that the toilet paper was thin like tissue paper. Stephen said that toilet paper is what you put in K-Mart in 1999 to torment people when there wasn't a huge selection of toilet paper anyway. Mal then adds that they returned the unused rolls only. Stephen said that they returned the 23 unused rolls back to Costco. He said that the guy at the return counter was like "Oh yeah! Scott is awful!" So, it was good that he understood their plight.

Stephen then talks about how they had gotten some sumo oranges at the Asian Market yesterday. He describes the orange as "an orange with a protruding anus." Mal says that it's a special Japanese orange that is usually bought as a gift for people. Stephen then says that he thought they only gave melons as gifts. Mal replies that they do that with a lot of different fruits like white strawberries. She then says that a company in America started growing these sumo oranges and you can only get them sometimes. Mal said that she has seen them in the Asian Market before and has always wanted to try one. Stephen then says that they have a little helper on the helper stool (Sagan). Mal slices the orange and Stephen says that it smells and looks like a citrus fruit. Stephen said that it tastes like a good orange. He said that it didn't have a different flavor and it just tasted like a really good orange. Stephen mentions that he doesn't have oranges often, he only gets them whenever he has a strange craving for orange juice.

Stephen then talks about how yesterday's vlog was shot in color grade HLG 2. He said that he definitely underexposed it and it was difficult to color grade it afterwards. Stephen says that some shots were good and some were wrong. He also mentions that there was some weird color cast where there was some green in it. Stephen also talks about how some people in the comments were talking about how the new camera sounds a lot better than old one.
