Long walks for snacks
08/30/2021
This wasn't strictly a walk to get junk food, but it was a walk that preceded junk food. I think the place we get Indian food from has changed hands. Their bags were different, and the curry I had was brutally hot. I'm into it, I just wasn't expecting it.
We walked to get a Hotel Chocolat sundae. It was lovely.
We saw so many birds in the rockpools which I also enjoyed. Saw egrets, oystercatchers, herons, cormorants, swans, as well as the usual cavalcade of seagulls, pigeons, crows, starlings. Typically I wasn't carrying a big zoom. I try not to let that disappointment detract from the experience.
Charlotte wanted to curl my hair. I was against it but she doesn't ask for much and it turned out pretty cool. I have ordered a Dyson Supersonic because my hair is ridiculously thick and it takes about 15 minutes to blowdry or about 4 hours to just drip dry. That's too much of my day. I watched a review from a pro hairdresser who seemed like she wanted to hate it, and ended up loving it. It was quite convincing; that's a good enough review for me.
I've been listening to the new Lorna Shore. It's like an evolution of the Deafheaven sound, which is welcome now that Deafheaven seem to have abandoned that in favour of whatever the hell they're doing now.
I watched this video of a guy from Vice at the Westminster Dog Show whilst on acid. It's maybe one of the funniest things I have ever seen, but I also thing I was just in a very giggly place when I saw it, so your mileage may vary.
Finally got round to watching Fantastic Fungi properly. I'm not impressed. It seemed to lack focus and, although it touched on some super interesting areas, it didn't go into enough detail to hold my attention well. So many of these "look at the benefits of recreational drugs" things come off as "I just want to do the drugs I want to do" to me.
We also watched the Saqqara thing on Netflix. I love Egypt but I fell asleep so I need to finish it.
