Ah! A fresh start. Let's not mess this one up too.

-A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

I hope the greenlenders remembered to say thank you for the visit, or else Shady Vance is going to be be livid 😬

Spinning Metallica - Ride the Lightening
Still gives me the same tingly feeling I got when I first heard it back in the 80s. What a timeless masterpiece.

Next time, send the Klitschko brothers to punch some sense into those clowns.

When a band play live, they usually come to a certain point in the set where they say "Ok [insert city, venue], this next song is for you". Always makes me wonder; Who were those other songs we just heard for then?

“I wish it need not have happened in my time.”

“So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

Time to dive deeper into the Cosmere universe. I really enjoyed Mistborn first era so I'm excited to see where it all started.
Pusifer the cat looks excited too 👀
I understand that this is not a particularly action packed story, but I'm here for the worldbuilding.

My cat is an expert in inserting herself into whatever story I'm currently reading.

"Do your own research" translates to:
Check out these dodgy videos that the youtube algorithms fed me.

When at the hairdresser, always maintain as much eye contact as possible through the mirror. It makes them feel appreciated and special.

Some people never re-read books 📚, and I don't know what to think about that.
To me a re-read is on par with meeting up with old friends or going on holiday to a favourite location. There is always something new to discover even if one have been there before.
They are missing out.

I'm going to stop asking "How stupid can you get?" rhetorically. Some people take it as a challenge.

Ghost - Ceremony And Devotion (2017)
Recorded live in various locations on the North American Popestar tour in 2017.
Such a fun band to experience live. Does anyone listen to live albums anymore, btw? I do.

Don't underestimate the therapeutic value of watching a record spinning on the turntable while your ears are filled with the music you love.
