  • I rewatch The Hobbit trilogy and LOTR (both extended) every year with my wife. I would prefer just watching a fan cut of the hobbit as I don’t think those are very good, but my wife likes them and a happy wife is a happy life.

    So I think I have seen LOTR at least 8 or 9 times and hobbit maybe 4 times.

    That still doesn’t come close to a Swanlake cartoon movie that I obsessively watched 4 times a day when I was around 5 or 6. My parents insist I must have watched it well over 100 times.

    I wouldn’t mind travelling by night train, but every time I check I’m unable to buy tickets. Last trip my wife and I did we really tried doing it by train, but it was just impossible to order. Maybe I just don’t understand how to do it, but ordering a plane ticket is fast and easy. Ordering a long distance train ticket should have the same experience.

    Edit: ok I checked again and looks like it’s possible now. Maybe they got their shit together in the meantime




  • The first gout attack I had was the worst. I had been limping for two weeks thinking it would just go away, but it got steadily worse until it became unbearable and I went to the doctor. The diagnosis was almost instantaneous. She looked at my foot and went “Yep, gout”. It got worse for another couple of days until it slowly started ebbing away. I was basically a cripple for at least two weeks though.

    I have it better under control now, but it still plays up sometimes. Gout sucks, but also there are worse things I suppose.
