Today is the first day of Ramadan, the first day of Adar, Lunar New Year and Mardi Gras.

This means that for one reason or another, the majority of humans on the planet have a reason to eat fried food, and that is beautiful.

The same band that did "Ballroom Blitz" also did "Love Is Like Oxygen" (Sweet or The Sweet). Mind a little blown.

Everyone making noise about Olympic Skater Ilia Malinin (a white dude) pulling off the first legal backflip in competition as if he is a revolutionary skater needs to remember Surya Bonaly (black girl) completed a backflip in the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics and was penalized for it

Catherine O'Hara?! Oh no. She was a powerhouse in so many things, including the incomparable Moira Rose. What a loss.

Current "feels like" temp is -27C. I prudently donned 3 layers of clothing plus the gortex and the WINTER winter mittens. Shovelling was fine and there was some sunshine even. But by the time I was finishing up the wind and snow showed up AGAIN. Like, January you are Januarying too hard. Stop.
