Maybe more Mortal Kombat

One of my favorite parts of summer is seeing jumping spiders all over the place.

Ah yeah it's probably been 15~ years since I've read them so everything is pretty fuzzy but that sounds about right.

Assume it's happened to most people at some point, I wouldn't beat yourself up about it too much because it's hard being around omnivores. Might consider either eating before you go out or just not drinking as much, recognize what causes it and try to mitigate that.

Wouldn't be terribly hard to make shawarma fries with vegan ingredients, like I'd get some veggie chicken or mushrooms and then add your spices. I dunno how handy you are in the kitchen but microwaving potatoes before you fry them shaves a lot of cook time off. Sometimes if I'm feeling lazy I microwave the potatoes then put them in a frying pan and mash them flat with a spatula. Chow mein or some kind of ramen are usually pretty easy to whip up if you know what you're doing.

I forgot about the Terminator that chases them and wasn't thrilled with Aenea's ending as space Jesus.

That was actually one of the few sci fi series I read when I was younger, but in retrospect the Endymion books gets a little sus with Aenea's relationship with Raul and how he does some wibbly wobbly time skip to make their age difference less eyebrow raising. I learned in the last few years that Dan Simmons taught middle school and that set off some alarm bells. But I would probably still recommend them with that caveat, has a lot of cool concepts and I loved imagining the organic dyson sphere.
