it's national cheesecake day! in honor of it, i went back and found all my entries for a cheesecake review challenge I did two years ago.

whole foods mini cheesecake

rating: 4.5 / 10
notes: the cheesecake that started cheesecake review! i bought one on a whim and then went on a multi message rant about how cheesecakes need a crust... after that rant, i decided i needed to start a weekly cheesecake review.. i do remember being very mad and rating it low because it had no crust but it gained like half a point back because it was really cheap.

barnes and noble original cheesecake

rating: 6/10
notes: bn uses cheesecake factory for their cheesecakes! this one is my usual weekly go to- i like the fluffiness and crust consistency, if not the crust being a bit thin. todays is especially pleasant as it's fresher than usual! its also the cheapest of the cheesecake selections they have, and the member discount is a nice addition! overall, a solid cheesecake.

fathers table brand cheesecake from food giant

rating: 5.5/10
notes: ok when we got home it was still frozen and i might of left my pieces out too long but theres a flavour to this cheesecake that is not unpleasant but not pleasant either. it feels very mid overall. extra half point for having a good crust however. texture is good, if a little soft, but i did leave it out so it wasnt a frozen brick. probably would buy again though for the price- $8ish? if i remember correctly. would not buy a bigger one however. size wise slice is tiny, but i got more than buying at b&n

four inch vanilla cheesecake from [local cheesecake place]

rating: 10/10
notes: deliciously sticky filling with the perfect amount of vanillay sweetness. crust has a lovely crumble and the right crunch-chewy ratio. a bit on the pricey side at 8.85 but i can get two servings out of this. this is most definitely worth the 8.85!! support a local owned business! i will 100% stop by again and try their other flavors- they have a softserve option i want to try this summer. also their shop is super cute!!! service was super friendly and helpful too :)

[local bakery] original with jam!!!

rating: 10/10
notes: such a lovely fluffy cheesecake. great density, great crust. ive eaten it with and without jam and i think with is preferable!! the sweetness of the ham with a lemony frosting and vanilla flavor in the cake itself. crust has a fantastic crumble, and is more neutral than sweet. but its a good complement to the overall taste profile. the baked outside edge is also delicious and lovely. overall a wonderful cheesecake and one of my local favorites

[local baker at local coffee shop] key lime cheesecake

rating: 8.5/10
notes: lovely take on both cheesecake and key lime pie! appropriately flavored- the right blend of tart and sweet. inner cream texture is a bit thick for my liking, but it is a blend cheesecake/pie.. so an acceptable pass. crust is fantastic- bonus points for such a high crust, however, crumble is a bit much for me.. still very good though. overall, a lovely little treat for a fine spring day.

carnival cruise line cheesecake

rating:
notes: no notes. only a picture of the cheesecake. it had jam on it.

olive garden (not sponsored) seasonal pumpkin cheesecake

rating: 6/10
notes: imagine pumpkin pie filling whipped up and turned into cheesecake. light and fluffy cake with a pretty solid graham cracker cookie crust. caramel drizzle and whipped cream do a lot for support since i feel like the cheesevake is a bit light on both pumpkin and traditional cheesecake flavors. it has hints of both but neither come through strong leading to an overall bland profile. i feel like the star is the crust on this one- a very hardy and chewy crust graham crust with the perfect amount of crumbly goodness. i think that the cinnamony crust pairs well with the overall flavor. would of liked to have seen a more pumpkiny flavor in the cheesecake but overall not too bad

not paying attention in class.. wanna write instead...

i havent posted much bc i want to make these fancy writing ideas but im a little daunted by them... need to just get back into yap style writing here... AND work on other stuff on the side... are we due to a catch up style post perhaps?

Current Mood: apathetic

I have always had a deep love for genshin's "collected miscellany" title for the skills showcases they post. I feel like the phrase just has the perfect capture of my style of stream of consciousness writing... I've always wanted to steal it for a dreamwidth entries series hahaha. anyway... collected miscellany following:

( another week of no weekly report LOL )

Current Mood: thoughtful

a little different this week!

"[Our job as artists] is not something we do only if and when we feel motivated - we create because it is our responsibility to do so. In this respect our oocuptation is no different than that of most people. Does an ordinary adult go to work only if tey feel in the mood?... We are duty-bound to do our job, like everyone else, because the space we occupy depends upon our participation and breaks down if we don't. A committed artist cannot afford the luxury of revelation." - Nick, The Red Hand Files

this quote really sums up the last week, which I feel like was the inevitable conclusion of the last few weeks. I had been getting progressively more and more into my own thought spirals. While I'm still there, I'm at least more aware of it.... I suppose?   I have no desire to fill out the typically weekly recap, so instead we get some more stream of conciousness rambley journaling that my dreamwidth has always been home too.

I found myself really struggling to get into a good writing groove, and I think that it stems from the idea of making something Good and Impressive... perfectionist tendencies creeping into my work again, and this typically stalls me out for months while I beat myself up over tiny little problems.  In my morning journal I assigned myself the prompt of: "How do I explain the vision of what I want?" Combine this with the past idea of: "google: how to make a cool doc that is extremely personal to you without losing your mind."

and unfortunately as I'm sitting here writing this up the answer becomes apparent: maybe you don't have to. maybe you just gotta do the stuff you want to do without overthinking it, without worrying about it being cool, and instead.... just have fun. cliche. cheesy. I like it.

I struggle with making stuff because I want it to feel authentic, but I also want it to uh.... be cool too! I wanna be cool! I wanna make impressive stuff! but my idea of cool and the actual execution sometimes don't connect properly! really the only person suffering is me: overcomplicating the stuff I want to do to the point that I don't want to do it anymore. succintly? it's growing pains!

I haven't written anything for dreamwidth since last Sunday, I dragged my feet on getting my daily pages done, I haven't worked on any modules for my site since... the week before last? Or if I did, I think I dragged myself through just one measly lesson that I didn't even really retain.

as a side note, the rain just started to come down out of nowhere.... >edit: and no more than a minute and a half later does it stop....

I think it's a bit funny that I have an easier time talking through some problems when I type stuff out versus when I write in my journal.... I'm not sure why though? maybe I journal out all the sticky stuff first so then when I get to writing up stuff like this it flows a bit easier. ah. warm up versus intentional work... maybe also just complaining for three paragraphs will get me to where I need to go...

see now that I have all this pretext, I feel like I could maybe explain my goals and start working on a cool doc. ahahahaha... But I'm not going to yet. I still feel like there is more to say.. maybe I should do a proper week recap? explore some of the feelings and thoughts I had this week?

oh goodness.... I went and reread the spring mini post and goodness!!!! I went crazy on that long drawn out ramble of a post. everything still stand you know? I still want to do all those things I listed out and and I actually made progress on some of them! I started doing weekly reports, I'm back in the gym more consistently, I've been journaling every day and I started on my website. hahahahaha sometimes you need the benchmarks for where you have been versus where you are now... it's only been just shy of two months since I wrote that and now? I'm already doubting myself again? Maybe I just need to keep cobbling things together and then it'll all work out. oh how funny, it all is. how funny I am.....

well..... we might as well get started on some stuff. I think it's time to write out the goals doc.. I've got a version in the works right now and I feel like I'm actually warmed up enough to start on it. its funny how when you just give yourself some free space you'll find the words and actions to fill it. lesson is: stop being so strict with the design and just have some fun dude....

no report/recap this week! gonna get some to dos off my list first and bring it back next week! it's too forced this week.

Current Mood: sore

*written right into the text box kinda night*

I've been wanting to include more commentary on some of my recent eow recaps. Combined with a noticeable midweek slump despite doing 3 journal pages every day, I decided that I needed some kind of mid-week post to keep up the momentum that eow recap sets.. I'm thinking that it's going to be a kind of 1000 words style post. Some days it'll be more rambley like my recent minis, but others might be better thought out "essays(?)," essentially, I just wanna have an excuse to write more and focus on my energy on something other than scrolling through twitter all the damn time...
