Just finished the first episode of One Piece.

What the holy hell have I been watching, lol. A crazy-ass pirate crew ((nope, not a crew)) ((not together)) in the making. Looks pretty smooth, I think I will get highly entertained by this series.

Not entirely sure what genre this would be. It has a dash of this, and a dash of that. Adventure, sorta fantasy, the high seas, anime-ish stuff (the way they pose), just crazy stuff in general. And it seems to work out so far.

Just finished watching The School of Good and Evil, and it was.... weird? Nice graphics, nice effects. The storyline just kinda went into all directions and actions didn't seem to have any long-term consequences at all. And the ending felt not quite finished? Huh, I've seen worse movies I suppose.

I'm amused at The Worst Witch's solution of having a character played by a different actor in a next season. They just make it so that it's an accident with a transformation spell, and after all the drama of trying to change back they finally decide that it's too late to turn back to their original look. 😋

Gotta love it when delivery companies are like 'Your package will be delivered between 13:00 and 18:00'. Gee, why not just take the whole day while you're at it? It'd be nice if they could narrow it down more as time passes, but nooooo....
(This is about DHL in this case)

Mm, 2 Windows updates later and it seems fixed. At least, I can use it again. :geblobcatshrug:

My oven seems to blow my fuses every time I try to use it. Eh... okay, I've cut up the pizza in 4 pieces and am heating them up one by one in the airfryer. It works, just not that convenient but it tastes fine. :P

Might be due for a new oven.

I currently enjoy watching The Worst Witch on Netflix. The 2017 series, not the 1998 one. I did watch some of the latter on TV before, but visually that sucked.

I guess I like the concept of a witch academy. I mean, I have enjoyed Wednesday as well, and Little Witch Academia. Oh, and let's not forget Harry Potter, shall we? Though I enjoyed the books far more than the movies.

Might be that I actually enjoy stories that's in the real world but have a connection with the magical unknown. I know I've read a few great books with this concept, like The Dream Merchant (Dutch: De gevleugelde kat), and The Cabinet of Wonders (Dutch: De ogen van Kronos).

Mm, I think it might be time to revisit a few books I have. Got a little itch now to check out this genre again.

Of all the Donald Duck Pocket storylines, I think Superdonald might be my favorite.

I just finished reading the Premium 1 pocket featuring Superdonald. I might buy more of this (in second hand stores, gotta be cheap after all) with more Superdonald stories. Those are fullblown long stories, which I like.

Another contender is DubbelDuck (DoubleDuck, kinda a 007 spinoff), but I don't see that storyline very often. I see there's a DubbelDuck one with Premium 16, but a shitton of Superdonalds before it.

RWB (Ruimtewezenbestrijding, aka Men In Black spoof) can amuse me as well, but it's a bit too random. Only seeing them in regular Pockets for now. Probably for the best, it's probably way too random for a real long story.

I think I've gardened enough for today. Removed weeds and trimmed bushes for 1,5 hours. I'm totally broken now. :blobbroken:

At least my front garden is starting to look more presentable. Some of those weeds were starting to grow taller than I am. 😳

It was great gardening weather, and the front garden is in the shadow. Still very sweaty work though. And, of course, very dirty. Literally so. 😋

Ah yes, not gonna be a quiet day today either. Neighbours are back from their holiday and are working on their extension again. There's a lot of dust coming from there, sigh.

Quick conspiracy theory-defeating tip: Look at rich people.

If cancer was secretly cured? Why do rich people die of it?

Adrenochrome-induced youth? Why does Rupert Murdoch look like a peanut?

If psychology is Fake Capitalism Stuff, why do rich people have psychiatrists, mental illnesses etc?

COVID hoax? Why did rich and powerful people rush to get vaccinated?

Always ask who benefits, and who ISN'T taking advantage.

It's seriously inconvenient that the middle mouse button seems broken. You don't realize how often you actually use it until you can't do it anymore.

Whew, that took quite a chat session with that TV store, but I managed to get the current year's model they tried to upsell to us for about the same price as the last year's model. They were very helpful. 😁 My parents'll be happy to have a good working TV again.

Dora and the lost city of gold was actually an amusing watch. I liked it that she poked fun via the 4th wall often.

*Looks straightly to you*
Now can you say 'amusing'?

David Penfold :verified:

a violinist, I play many gigs. Recently I was asked by a funeral director to play at a graveside service for a homeless man. He had no family or friends, so the service was to be at a pauper's cemetery in the Dorset back country.

As I was not familiar with the country lanes, I got lost and, being a typical man, I didn't stop for directions.

I finally arrived an hour late and saw the funeral guys had evidently gone and the hearse was nowhere in sight. There were only the diggers and crew left and they were eating lunch.

I felt bad and apologised to the men for being late. I went to the side of the grave and looked down and the vault lid was already in place. I didn't know what else to do, so I started to play.

The workers put down their lunches and began to gather around. I played out my heart and soul for this man with no family and friends.

I played like I've never played before for this homeless man.

And as I played 'Amazing Grace,' the workers began to weep. They wept, I wept, we all wept together. When I finished I packed up my violin and started for my car. Though my head hung low, my heart was full.

As I opened the door to my car, I heard one of the workers say, "I never seen nothin' like that before and I've been putting in septic tanks for twenty years."

Uh, aren't there about 100 Smurfs in that Smurf village? Why do they have what seems to be way more than 100 newspapers? 🤔

Note to self: Smurfs apparently aren't into sustainability.

Oh nice. BlueBrixx will have their own minifigs next year! Designs look alright, and it's got a bit more functionality than the standard LEGO minifigs.
