Well, that was not a fun interaction.
Had a guest come up to me while I was making coffee, and kept asking me all sorts of personal questions. Like "Did you grow up around here?" (I didn't), "Where did you grow up?" (Elsewhere.), "Where did you go to high school?" (A small town you've probably never heard of.), "How'd you end up here?" (Just kinda happened.), etc... He just wouldn't stop asking me these sorts of things, so after 15 minutes, I said - as politely as I could manage - "Sir, I'm sorry, but I don't discuss my personal life with guests." And he got all huffy, called me "incredibly rude", and stomped off. And honestly, I don't think I was the rude one here. I understand that he thought he was being friendly, but I clearly didn't want to tell him anything personal, and he wouldn't stop prying.
No, neither of us was nekkid.

Hadn't very similar thing happened before earlier
thislast year?(inquisitive guest, not nnekiddness)
It happens from time to time. Usually not to this extant, typically people will get the hint that I'm not going to tell them anything and stop. But sometimes I have to say it directly to their face.

One of these days I'm just going to randomly show up at your hotel and shoot you with a Nerf gun. Just to be different.
I'm just going to go to your hotel and see how long it takes for you to realize it's me.
If you rely on Vany to give you a picture of me, I will do this.

Also, don't.

Or maybe I'll just buy a copy of In Touch and pretend I did.
About who?

So here's a question for Drejk:
The dish called haluski (egg noodles with sautéed cabbage, onion, kielbasa, butter). Very popular among Polish-Americans, mostly of my parents' age, but I get the impression it's not really as popular in Poland as it is here.
Sounds like Strapacky, which on Polish wiki are called 'kapustowe haluski'.
Halusky (which is a wide array of dishes) are generally used in Slovak (and Czech) dishes, and they are noodles made usually of potatoes. The very term is not Polish, though it might be used by the Polish highlanders.
There is a similar dish to what you describe that is consumed in Poland consisting of some kind of flat noodles, cabbage, onion, and optionally sausage cut in small pieces, bacon, or minced meat but it is called łazanki.

The photos I saw when I googled łazanki look like the right thing.

Anyway, people can make more of those if the things go wrong.
I thought we got Terminators because the wood was damp and they like to eat it?
Wait. No. Sorry. That's thermites. I always confuse those two.

I saw a video of an American man making mac and CHEESE! today. The only seasoning he added was Worcestershire sauce, which he pronounced 'Wash-your-sister', and I shall love this forever.
I'm not a big fan of mac'n'cheez in general (unless you put broccoli in it, then I like it more", but I'm pretty sure I don't want any that has "wash-your-sister sauce" in it.

You're off to find the Turtle,
The wonderful Turtle of Pope.
Dish soap, dish soap, dish soap, dish soap,
You'll get there & back in one piece, I hope,
Doodley poodley bood, oy vey.
Good news! I found the turtle pope!
I did not die. We talked. I learned some things. I bought some nifty magic spells and I left and was promptly murdered by a massive angry swamp shrimp.
As you do in Elden Ring.

Fun fact: if you make barszcz for dinner, and then take leftovers for lunch the next day, and then forget that you'd done that, you will be alarmed by the disturbing orange-red color when you go to the bathroom.
It wasn't until I was loading the dishwasher tonight and found the empty jar in my lunchbox that I realized what had happened.
Yes, I'm an idiot.

I've been working through a cold the last few days.
Nothing bad, just a bit weary, congested with a bit of a scratchy throat.
On the plus side, I pre-ordered the Harry Potter open world video game (Hogwarts Legacy, coming out beginning of February) so at least they'll have something to entertain them through the worst of winter.

As I'm sure everyone has been wondering, I finally defeated Renalla and helped her realize that she might have been overreacting, so now we're friends (or at least apathetic towards each other, which is the equivalent of being friends in Elden Ring (it's basically the Legend of Zelda with Eeyore instead of Link).

Renalla is not an indigestion remedy, I trust?
She is not, she is the moon queen or something.
Unrelated, after facing her I decided I wanted to go to the capital but was blocked by this a#$@+&! knight on a fire breathing horse.
My first idea of facing him on horseback did not go well, ten times.
So what I did was turn mostly invisible and stuffed a bunch of cotton in my boots (thus making them quiet) and snuck up behind him and his horse and proceeded to cast poison mist up his a@@#%@$ until he died.
No idea why he didn't turn around or move while I sat there poisoning him for ten minutes real time but at least I got in the capital.
So I guess in a way, I'm the indigestion remedy.

I've been living there on-and-off since 2019. There are a surprising number of people and large warehouses, and not very many trees.
