Reminders you're getting old

Watched it last week with Jnr THT.

Thought it was great. It’s not a masterpiece, sure. But it’s a really important indie film, captures the era nicely, has a great back story to how it was, and the low budget asthetic is great.

My only issue is that Randy’s lines are delivered way too quickly to feel natural. It’s more like watching a play, than a movie.

7/10 wort lh a look for a few reasons. The scene where the girlfriend comes back from the toilet is first class.

Good times though. Bangers albums dropping, great concerts, no phones being held up at gigs. Baby Bombers on the rise.

When you realise that Monica Lewinsky is 53 now. How fast they grow up. Seems like only yesterday she was crawling around the White House and putting everything in her mouth.

Or. It seems only yesterday that makes in positions of power thought interns were their own personal playthings, and the media would back them up.

Oh hang on….

That reminds me a piece of advice a mate gave me. I was going off to Bali and he said all the girls there had either TB or VD. So, if l wanted a girl for the night, pick one that coughed.

Climbing ten trillion steps or so it seemed in Japan, either generally walking around; in and out of train stations; or up to temples in mountains!! I’m sure my legs are a few inches shorter!!

I may have posted this before, (speaking of reminders you’re getting old), but genuinely using these things like a Nanna can’t be good…

Breakfast - half a star (latte machiato)
Lunch - mixed it up between spaghetti alla scholigio and pasta or a panino
Afternoon- gelato or arancini
Dinner - panino or capricosa pizza

Though i did get different pizzas depending on the region. Calabria i would have onion and pepper on it, sicily was eggplant as well as a capricosa of quatrro stagione

Would also have a panino (caprese one thag we would make ourselves) when we ate in and got the boys to sleep earlier

We have them at work,
I don’t like the idea of portion control, I look like a fatty when I take 5 packets of them.

I love the food culture.

Never tire watching the subtle difference of cuisines from region to region.

Reckon I might retire in Abruzzo one day.
