There’s plenty of movies that I like to rewatch, and most have been mentioned here already.

But the first movie I remember rewatching over and over again when I was little, was Labyrinth.
Funny enough I haven’t seen it in more than thirty years. It’s mostly nostalgia vibes by now, but I remember being in love with that movie back then.

I used to call a zebra a “pajama horse” and squirrel monkeys “fireplace monkeys”.
How do I remember this? Because my mom still likes to bring this up, every single chance she gets 🤦‍♀️

It’s been popular in the Netherlands for decades under the name “Buurman en Buurman”(Neighbor and Neighbor).
I only learned now that the dubbing was something they did specifically with the Dutch release. Can’t imagine this show being silent.

Definitely. I gave one to my mom for her birthday back then. She’s been a Tetris fanatic since I had my first game boy way back then.

My parents made me take typing lessons when I was in primary school. I had to learn on an extremely heavy electric typewriter with the keycaps taped off.
It was a lot of work but I’m still enjoying the benefits of it.
Fun little difference was that we used QWERTY, but the ‘;’ was replaced with a ‘ij’

Parasitical worms. I’d like to say why, but just thinking about it already makes me shudder.

Final Fantasy 8 did this, if I remember correctly.

I was in pre-school and it was my turn to clean up and sweep the floor. Instead, I put that broom between my legs and pretended to be a witch.

*sigh* Good times…

I usually buy them pre-sliced in cubes, which is what makes it so convenient as a snack. You can just pop one in your mouth while they’re still frozen, just be careful with brain freeze :)
Alternatively you put them in a small bowl and eat them with a fork after they’ve thawed.

My favorite is frozen mango. I like to eat them as a quick cold snack straight from the freezer.

Another one is raw carrots with hummus as a dip.

A chagrin

Good luck today! It sounds like you’ll have a busy day ahead of you. Hope you still get to enjoy today in some way though.

I’ve been off since Christmas and won’t start work until Monday. It’s coming out of my vacation days mostly, but I always end up having too many left over at the end of the year anyway.
My partner is also off, but they get a mandatory vacation between Christmas and new year, on top of the usual vacation days.

My surface pro from work has this, though I can’t say I’ve ever used it in all these years.

There’s no real consensus on it yet in Dutch, but the most common are either hen/hun or die/diens. Both are known words that can be repurposed, but both have some disadvantages when it comes to certain grammatical rules.
There’s also some initiatives on new words, but they haven’t really gotten much traction yet.

There’s a rather lengthy article here in Dutch that explains it in depth:

About 30 seconds. But in my defense, I was too lazy to zoom in on my phone, and I’m about to go to sleep, and it was a good illusion.

It’s like time travel. One moment you’re here, and the next it’s an hour later and you’ve somehow arrived.
Don’t ask me what happened during that time, I wasn’t really there.

Don’t listen to him, he’s not even a spider!

Cuddling with my partner in bed. Especially early in the morning, when I give myself an extra half hour to just stay close together for a little while longer.

You can turn it into flip book afterwards :)

The rhyming style sounds so much like the Gruffalo :)
