A thought I never thought I'd have: does it count as historical fiction if it's set in the 80's?

Thought of the moment: when they take a product and show it a picture of a truffle, it increases the price. It makes me think of homeopathics.

Things about which my parents lied to me: they said the year 2000 was a leap year because it was divisible by 1000, when, in fact, it was because it was divisible by 400. Everything I thought I knew is potentially one day off. 😱

It's interesting that if you have food, you don't have it anymore. Anyway, that's my 2 a.m. thought for today. 🙂

A picture is worth a thousand words (that would be lost on them anyway.)

Finally figured out why I've had Mozart's sonata in A major stuck in my head for the past week. Darn Pride and Prejudice...

I would like to take this opportunity to remind the world that I'd been wearing yellow way before it was cool again. And I was right to think that mustard was a gateway colour to much funner stuff. 💛 It's always such a joy to see when they start them young.

There's a word I've been trying to recall for what feels like years. Today, I succeeded. It was "tantamount", if you need to know. I shall file it under "t" and never lose it again.

I hate lying on forms (and in silly stuff on the internet). Why is my eye colour never an option? 🤦🏻♀️

Seriously angered by this: www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crim... I hope they catch everyone involved in this atrocity. I wish them a year in prison for every ring. (That should totally be a law.)

I'm getting my shoes repaired by a Sith Lord. It says so on his name badge. I've been told his apprentice is also Darth [last name]. I find this oddly reassuring.

Random thought: I love My Fair Lady, but I absolutely hate the ending. This is a general reminder that George Bernard Shaw wanted Eliza to marry Freddy - and so do I. (I've decided to leave the double entendre in, especially when Freddy looks like Jeremy Brett.)
