what kind of air dry clay do you use?
i've been trying to find some decent brands where i live but there is no air dry clay available at all where i live

i don't know the brand name of it, my former art teacher gave it to me in a bucket around three years ago, and i've been going through it more often now. that is a blatant truth.
mine is packaged as a dark dull dray and dries to a near white, pale gray overnight. at least...
it does not "spaghettify" very well, meaning if you want to make long, thin tubes, you're out of luck because it crumbles, so i stick to solid, amorphous ball and rod shapes. but that is probably due to the age of my particular batch of clay.
i use regular, nondry plasticine much more often, i can make some recommendations for that if you'd like.

Many of the "kids" game apps (note the quotation marks) are creepy and not really child friendly. And they use a lot of currently popular cartoon characters like MLP and Elsa from Frozen, which I'm sure are not authorized. I saw a video just a while ago where you take care of Elsa, who has a stomach ache from food poisoning. At first you just give her tea and medicine and use a hanky to wipe her tears away, awww. But them you start massaging her bare midsection and back, and it looks verrry suggestive. AND THEN YOU SLICE OPEN HER BELLY AND IT SHOWS HER EXPOSED STOMACH AND INTESTINES AND THEY'RE FULL OF DISGUSTING THINGS AND YOU USE SUBSTANCES TO CLEAN HER BOWELS OUT!! ! 
What is up with that? That's supposed to be a kid's game? And there are lots others like it, too.

It is VERY humid right now where I live, and it makes everything much hotter and sticky. The other day I told my dad as he drove me home from grocery shopping that I felt so sticky that I was sure that if someone threw me against the wall, I would stick to it and flip-flop down like those rubbery toy octopuses. Or is it octopi? 
I'd like to go out and do some shopping today, but besides the weather the last week of June is always insane with high school and college graduations and Grading Day and Canada Day and people going away camping and tourists and the checks being in... maybe it will be less insane in the evening?

Ramen is yum-yum and kitties are fun.

There is a snack food called Beaver Tails. They are not actually the tails of real beavers, nor are they made with beaver meat at all. They are a piece of fried dough shaped to resemble a beaver's tail. They're quite good.

Humans are not the only animals in the world that kill their own species. But we might be the only species that ever feels bad or guilty about it.

Me too. Not surprising considering I had a tiny lunch. Luckily, my dad won't be home until 9:00 tonight so we will have dinner before.
