Great. PFAS chemicals (which are forever chemicals) have been found in ‘eco friendly’ paper straws, so they’re probably in paper bowls too. I’ve been going through it physically so was feeding my pet from those to make dishes easier…

It’s my Friday night after working this weekend. Mrs_Owl has an early start, so I’m on the sofa tonight = staying up until 4am watching/passed out in front of YouTube on the PC. Spent the last 20mins trying to remember a banging house track from my 90s clubbing days. Found it!

Camisra - Let Me Show You (Tall Paul remix)

As used in the awesome club scene from Spaced (Simon Pegg)

I’m up for going down this rabbit hole tonight :)

Those first 4 notes and I was instantly transported back to that scene in the show! Thanks for bringing back memories of that show, I watched it many years after it aired but it’s one of my favourites - captured that early 00s vibe so perfectly and such relatable characters who still exist on the north side…

It isn’t clear, but there’s bacon bits all under the veggies too. They’re everywhere

Seagoon’s movies. This weekend it’s “All the Pretty Horses”. What an amazing beautiful movie. It has been a long time since I’d read the book but watching this evoked the same feelings I had reading it. A story that is written to evoke the same emotions the lead character feels. Confusion. It starts with an injustice, he loses the family ranch, but he accepts it because he understands it’s the law and he respects the law. He goes to Mexico where there is injustice and no law. It’s just crazy . He and his pal barely escape. Coming back to America he speaks with a sympathetic judge and starts to understand his own experience.

Watch but don’t expect a narrative that goes a to b.
