look, I love the Super Mario Brothers movie, I feel you.

Oh my god, I have so many interesting thoughts about the Super Mario Brothers movie if I ever have time to do anything again ever in my life I am going to write them out.

Blanket Thank. 

They turned out well, I think, although I may have put the egg wash on a little too enthusiastically - there were a few bites where I distinctly tasted egg and I would consider doing a milk wash instead.  Either way, it was a pleasant bagel to eat.

And frankly I don’t usually give a shit about bagels, I made them because my family likes them.  It’s not like I’m all “No one could really like bagels, they are fucking boring,” I understand that people like all sorts of things that offer me personally no pleasure or satisfaction and it’s entirely genuine on their part, but I do still find it strange the degree of enthusiasm some people express for bagels when every bagel I have eaten, including one from New York City that was highly hyped by a Jewish American person like “IF YOU EAT THIS YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THE FUSS,” has been fucking boring.  I politely said it was nice but it was, as I have previously intimated, fucking boring.

I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU GUYS AND DISNEY THO (And I’m glad being back in Louisiana isn’t too traumatizing. Maybe because you’re touristing and not existing?)

I’M EXCITED FOR DISNEY TOO

The Louisiana thing is weird and complicated and I’m thinking on it a lot. I plan to write it out a bit more on the travel blog though, so stay tuned there, if it’s a thing you might possibly want to read about. (WHY YOU MIGHT WANT TO BEING A SEPARATE THING ALTOGETHER)

What the actual fuck. At Birka, Rose met an eight year old who has a swimmable mermaid tail and was doing laps in the pool, and Rose is STILL excited about the time she met a mermaid. She also thinks Central Park isn’t real because it’s in James and the Giant Peach, and that’s a story, not a real life. She’s also four.

I bet that sense of wonder will stay with her and serve her well, too, throughout her life, long after she learns the truth of them.  Humans *need* to believe these things when we’re young. It’s part of what makes us fundamentally human.

I went there recently and decided that what makes if a speakeasy ( since they do have a liquor license) is the fact that there are no television screens.

We laughed a LOT at this observation :D

I have been to the speakeasy and it is AWESOME. To get to it, you head through the ice cream shop as if you're going to the bathroom, and instead knock on a shutter. And there's a Pokestop right out front!

The pokestop might have convinced Sci to take me there next year :D

I recommend the book 'Born to Rule: Five Reigning Consorts, Granddaughters of Queen Victoria' by Julia Gelardi. It's kinda the real life version of that. (Ena of Spain's story is FASCINATING. And then there's Maud of Norway.)

Yeah, we were talking about that last night, like, in WWI half the people declaring war on each other were her descendants.
