I’m learning so much about Belgium. Such as: the smurfs come from here? And the amount of Smurf stuff is a little uncanny. Including the turn down service at this hotel.

The smurfs. Ambassador.

Also I’m so uncultured I don’t know why I didn’t expect Brussels to speak French but I was so caught off guard checking in and it turns out I remember enough to get by! But I still asked “uhhh, is it uhhh … merci? Here?”

Checked into my nonsmoking hotel and was looking for a spot to break the rules and what’s this right outside the window lol

A pile of used cigarettes on a window sill

I embarrassingly believe in a version of Roko’s Basilisk but for spiders. I expect to encounter a spider god at the end who will weigh my heart against the number of spiders I have killed with malice so I escort them all outside and remind them who I am before letting them go.

Oh look. They solved that pesky grassroots protest issue. Fixed that whole "citizens having a voice in what happens to their homes and communities BS. Man, what a relief, first amendment avoided!

Dolly Parton rose from poverty to stardom. She gave $500 to every student in her hometown who finished high school; she built hospitals & bald eagle preserves; her Imagination Library has gifted 300 million books to children. Roger Ebert met her and came away thinking she was a literal angel. RIP.

“In Dallas for the premier of '9 to 5', I had an uncanny experience, and on the plane home to Chicago I confessed it to Siskel: I had been granted a private half hour with Dolly Parton, and as we spoke I was filled with a strange ethereal grace. This was not spiritual, nor was it sexual. It was healing and comforting. Gene listened and said, "Roger, I felt the exact same thing during my interview with her." We looked at each other. What did this mean? Neither one of us ever felt that feeling again. From time to time we would refer to it in wonder.”

I hadn't heard the quote "find out who you are and do it on purpose," and I don't know if i could come up with a more perfect piece of life advice if I had a decade to workshop it. That really is the answer to almost everything

Summer time - Coming home early always has its moments when your son lives with you still (I wouldn’t complain…) (A little early for septENMber!)
