Remember Furbys? Apparently, they're back again! Starting this month, new Furbys are being releases, and they look way different: I never had a Furby, but I remember the Furby Connect version from the mid-2010s. This one comes in two colours (And there's a tie-dye version somewhere). Huh! I had one of the originals way back when (he's probably still in a box somewhere lol.) I like this design better than the Furby Connect, but still prefer the originals overall. Two colors feels low, but I guess I'm still spoiled to the 90's when everything came in 999 colors haha. There were so many original furby + baby furby designs it was crazy.

Happy 4th of July, Americans!
May your day be filled with fireworks, eagles, monster trucks, and maybe even some barbecue thrown in for kicks.

I've been noticing a number of Christmas movies airing on TV.
Is it a 'Christmas in July' thing? And if so, why must we manifest the conglomerate holiday of Christmas three months before it begins dominating our senses?

Vacuum storage bags are a wonderful invention.

Went to a store yesterday and they had some Halloween stuff!
Which means we're one month away before the Christmas merch shows up.

Been looking up camping supplies because there's a decent chance that my moving trip will not necessarily have me stop at a motel due to where I'm driving. Also been looking up water jugs because there's also no guarantee that will be available and it will be days on the road.
And so, I accidentally discover just how obsessive some brands are with ensuring people drink an entire gallon or half-gallon every day. o_o; A gallon's too small anyway, but I couldn't help but keep reading all the jugs that were inevitably passed up that basically dared people to drink the entire thing.
"Get started! (more ticks) Halfway! Keep going! Almost there! You did it!!"
Me (thinking): "Do you want people to get water poisoning? Because this is how you give people water poisoning."
(Yes, that's a thing. It's also called water intoxication or overhydration. I wouldn't worry about it unless you're drinking a gallon of water a day, or quickly.)

England is okay. I certainly don't mind my life here, and every time I head back up to see family, I am overall happy I left.
But every once in a while, my heart aches to see the distant hills and smell the sea air. To feel the fresh ocean wind on my face and hear the song of country and coastal birds.
If I could have everything I do here but live up there, I would be a truly happy person.

Today I learned that in 18th Century Italy, people would dress pugs up in jackets and pantaloons. Adorable little pugs in pantaloons!!

Cross your fingers and toes here--interview for a potential dream job in 10 days. I just sent in the pre-interview prompt and am hoping that this could be the opportunity that finally leads to a full-time, permanent job. ;_;

I saw a store stock up on Halloween decorations----and beside them were Christmas lights. Tis the Nightmare Before Christmas crossover we've never thought of before!

Had a small but funny encounter when stopping by the grocery store today. As I was walking through the parking lot, I suddenly hear a small "Hi!", and I turn to see a little girl wearing sunglasses waving at me through the window of her parent's jeep. Just this child with so much "I'm a cool guy B)" energy at once haha.
