[0017] it's like a bad head in the morning
Happy Halloween to all those who celebrate. For the first time in my life, there is no snow on the ground anywhere in town today, owing to the fact that climate change is real and it has not snowed for the entire month of October. Wild.
I ate too much popcorn and candy seeing Dune earlier, and I'm gonna do it again tonight (with a different movie, gotta spook it up obvs)!!
In honour of the day, have a new blog feature, Leshia Reviews a Weird Junk Food She Found in the House:

It's a Kit Kat that tastes like Froot Loops, but that's not the interesting part. The interesting part is how it kinda got me to question the very essence of Kit Kat bars, and maybe most chocolate bars in general? Like, is this thing even chocolate? I guess it's white chocolate with pink food colouring on top of the other added flavours, but it certainly doesn't feel like a chocolate-covered wafer in any measurable sense when it's in my mouth, to say nothing of how it looks. It's really more of a strawberry-esque fondant at this point, isn't it? But it's not THAT different in texture from a regular Kit Kat, so are regular Kit Kats just chocolate-esque fondants? Have I been fooled for all these years by something so processed that my senses can't reconcile what it truly is, so they just slot it into the closest approximate category and I've just learned to accept that until something comes along that is SO unlike any sort of recognizable foodstuff that I can't lie to myself about it? What even IS chocolate anymore, anyway??
This has been my Kit Kat Fruity Cereal review, thank you. I also listened to an album.

Wikipedia Sez: Parklife is the third studio album by the English rock band Blur, released on 25 April 1994 on Food Records. After disappointing sales for their previous album Modern Life Is Rubbish (1993), Parklife returned Blur to prominence in the UK, helped by its four hit singles: "Girls & Boys", "End of a Century", "Parklife" and "To the End". Certified four times platinum in the United Kingdom, in the year following its release the album came to define the emerging Britpop scene, along with the album Definitely Maybe by future rivals Oasis. Britpop in turn would form the backbone of the broader Cool Britannia movement. Parklife therefore has attained a cultural significance above and beyond its considerable sales and critical acclaim, cementing its status as a landmark in British rock music. It has sold over five million copies worldwide. In 2015, Spin included the album in their list of "The 300 Best Albums of 1985–2014".
Prior Familiarity: Better than I thought! I truly could not name a single Blur song that wasn't Song 2 going into this, but then it turned out that I did know at least a couple of these songs.
What I Did While Listening: Cleaning, cleaning, it's the weekend so I am cleaning.
Verdict: Not sure if it's anything I'd ever seek out on my own, but it honestly kinda rips?? Those wacky Brits might be onto something.
Favourite Song: Either End of the Century or the titular track. Shout out to the instrumental tracks, love a good album with random instrumental tracks.
Time to find out if I can do some seasonal RPing! Ha ha help me ha ha!
