This is me October 2018 finally free of the PJs that so confined my creative spirit. The blanket tucked around my thick neck, my trotters under the pillow. I dreamed of apples, truffles on a summer's day and dismissed all memory of that wolf, my brothers and the house of straw, tbc
Sure, sure. You come tell me how it doesn't matter how it's icey. Come on here and have to go out in -45 degrees to get firewood. Tell me how goddamned nice that is.
I'm sorry, Oscar... I'm Northern Norwegian. We take a certain pride in our winters. I totally agree that less is more when it comes to temperature.
Cool? COOL? 22°C ≈ Cool? You have 21°C more than we just now and you call that cool? From -5°C to - 35°C you can call it nice. Below -35°C it starts to get a bit chilly. Maybe Finland? London is too crowded. Sweden... It is a country where only one oppinion is allowed at a time. They must have a consensus about everything... In Finland it is ok to be grumpy, keep distance, disagreee with everything - even with himself... That is a bit too cold - especially if you wear glasses.
To put that in perspective, summers in Australia are between 35 and 47 degrees C in the heat of the day and most nights don't drop below 30 degrees C. 22 is COOL.
Yup. We don't get quite that hot in Osaka, but summer 2017 the temperature in July and August never once dropped below 28c, not even at 4 am. 22 isn't cold, but it's cool.
Apparently, restaurants are beginning to swap sprouts for kale on their Christmas menus. Why?! Why?! I was one of those rare kids who loved sprouts. I still do. I'll eat all the sprouts no-one else wants (competing with my uncle to do so). I don't want to go to a restaurant and be served kale! Why am I even whinging about this, we never go out for Christmas dinner and I don't see my granny or my great-aunt (I forget whose turn it is this year) going in for modern food trends.
At a yakiniku restaurant, if you want vegetables, you have to order them specifically. Dunno if they have kale or not though, the topic's never come up.
I swear, my stomach has come to resemble a problematic toddler recently. "I'm staaaaaaaarving! I want some fooooood!" "OK, then, I'll make supper." 45 minutes later: "Alright, supper's ready." "NO! I'm not hungry!"
Why is it that whenever I find some music on YouTube and scroll down the comments to see what everyone else thinks of this song, there's always that one comment that says "Did anyone else come here from X Film?" when 90% of the comments say "I came here from X Film", "X Film brought me here", or simply "X FILM!"?
Maybe it was used in the trailer for that film? I like listening to trailer music when writing certain scenes, usually dramatic ones. For mood pieces I tend to use instrumental scores of various kinds ranging from Lord of the Rings to Blade Runner.
I realise why people associate it with things, and I've gone and found soundtracks online myself, it just annoys me that people apparently can't read the comments to see that all of them are about the film they're asking about.
