“you can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you find you get what you need”. - the great philosopher Jagger
I may not always get exactly what I want, but if I put in the effort and do my best, I find that sometimes what I want is not what I needed in the end.
Motor oil is a smell that I really like. It’s from growing up around mechanic shops, I think.
I hate the smell of sandalwood. It’s just overwhelming and I can’t get past the heaviness of it. My coworkers use a tobacco and sandalwood scented room spray and I want to gag every time.
My dad used to use that one all the time. The PG version was “go take a long walk off a short pier”.
Agreed! I’m also grossed out by the people who would get the Passion tea (which is made with hibiscus and lemongrass, and is very acidic) with heavy cream. It curdled damn near instantly and was just… nasty.
I used to work at Starbucks and we’d make weird shit out of curiosity. The best one was uncut cold brew coffee and their strawberry refresher base. Uncut cold brew and lemonade wasn’t terrible but way too acidic for my liking.
My partner had another of the holiday packs. He said most of them were okay but not awful, but the Buttered Roll soda tasted like carbonated butter and it was horrible.
That’s really smart! I’ve never heard of a cat that could use a knob before.
How does he open doors? I’d love to hear more 🙂
I read One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest when I was eleven. Some of the nonsense rhyme still comes back to me when I’m tired - she’s a good fisherman, catches hens, puts em inna pens / wire, briar, limber lock, three geese inna flock.
I also read She’s Come Undone and I Know This Much is True by Wally Lamb when I was in high school. Both are extremely fucked when it comes to talking about mental health and hospitalizations.
Depeche Mode at the United Center in Chicago is definitely the one that blew me away the most. Their opening act hit the resonance point of the building and shook the whole thing, and Dave Gahan is such a showman. Everyone in the audience was reaching toward him and singing along with Personal Jesus.
Seeing the Red Elvises is always a treat too, but my partner and I caught them fresh off of touring with The Reverend Horton Heat and they played an incredible set that included a cover of Let Me Teach You How to Eat, and their songs from the movie Six String Samurai (Love Pipe and Boogie on the Beach). They even did a cover of Misirlou that night!
Their guitarist is now a pro wrestler, too. He’s pretty fun to watch.
Good to know. I don’t like horror movies in general, tbf.
I don’t remember much of it clearly, thankfully. I know Akira is a classic but it turned me off of anything body horror forever.
Akira. My father rented it for my brother and me because “animated movie is for kids”. I was 4, and my brother was 3.
Agreed. Green salads should be savory.
There’s a mention of this in Alan Wake 2, with a character saying “it’s not sad if it’s intentional!”
It’s better to have a pair, because rabbits are very very social animals. A lone bunny can get bored, anxious, and very very destructive. The trade off is that the pair may not be as cuddly and attentive to their owner as a lone bunny, but they will be immeasurably happier.
Cats are predators, and rabbits are prey animals. You can have cats and rabbits together but it’s not recommended - it takes less than a second for Kitty to go from “this is a friend” to “this is dinner”, or for BunBun to literally kick the guts out of its former pal. Same thing with dogs; bunnies can and will end up on the wrong end of the prey instinct and can either get destroyed or end up dead of shock/fright. And people are not fast enough to keep these things from happening in 99% of cases.
Side note: some people keep rabbits and guinea pigs together. This is a terrible idea because even though their diets and habits are similar, guinea pigs carry bacteria in their guts that can absolutely fuck up a bunny.
They are gorgeous! I hope you find a perfect bun (or two, they are usually happier in pairs and two buns is about the same amount of work as one)!
Same. They’ve replaced Pink Ladies as my favorite. The texture and perfect amount of sweetness make them such a joy!
