The *uckenings 19

After a long weekend without major events happening, I’ve decided to reread ‘the Alchemist’. What a wonderful story hey.

Are you a doer or a thinker? Or both? I realised how important it is to think your story before doing it. It’s all about the right plan isn’t it?

Anyhow. Because the weather has been grey I did spend a minute or two in front of the TV. I’ve also upgraded our channel choice and came across a very informative documentary holding important facts.

Herrings almost caused a battle during the cold war! Yes. Up in Sweden.

The thing is that they swim in huge groups. A swarm of millions got into a Swedish radar. Turns out they don’t only swim in large groups but also fart in large groups. So those millions of Herrings fart and the Sweds think it’s a Soviet submarine planning an attack. Thankfully a geologist saved the day.

Giraffes. Giraffes are not making any noises. That’s what we thought for as long as we know those giants. Turns out they do grumble on a super low frequency and it has been recorded on 92 megahertz! That is some low-key tune. And here a little trivia: What is a big group of giraffes called? It’s not a herd. Not a swarm.

It’s a tower! Yes! The correct terminology is ‘look, there’s a tower of giraffes!’!

Well well, I also found out that the latest Star Wars movie will be on demand TV very soon and I am very excited. Although I have to admit I have already had the chance to watch it and I completely blew it. My best friend had a business gathering at the theatre and I was invited to watch the premier. I showed up as sexy Chewbacca. After my bestie convinced me to take off the mask I got into the open bar. Open bars aren’t good for me. But since she was very busy PRing, I made friends with the barkeeper and a few others. An hour later it was time and I wasn’t ready. I was less than ready to watch the return of the Jedi. I did try very hard to focus. Never in my life I wanted something so badly but was physically incapable. I tried the pirate tactic first cause everything looked double. Can’t do cinema seeing double right? Nah. So I covered one eye with my flat hand and I do remember a few pictures from that phase. It wasn’t enough to put things together but I did yell a joyful Chewbacca into the darkness a few times when I saw his furry cute little face. Needless to say, I can’t wait to be filled in on baby Yoda and such.

Broccoli. It’s one of the shiniest veggies in the assortment. It causes me immense bloating’s if you know what I mean and I have felt bloated all day today. I have stayed away from broccoli for a very long time now therefore I am clueless but at least the farts don’t smell. They just pop, sounding like an underwater submarine. I do have a date though so I will be walking on eggshells in the next few hours.

Maybe I should tell him the story with the Herrings. I’d have sound effects up my sleeve.

Why me.
