Friday five

[glacier_kitty]

1. Do you cook regularly or does someone else cook for you? I use a microwave and others cook for me
2. Which are you better at making: sweet or savory foods? Not sure, I haven't cooked enough to know lol
3. If you had to work as a chef in a restaurant of your choice, which restaurant would best complement your current culinary skills? What culinary skills?? Haha
4. What is a cooking tip that you know, but other people generally aren’t aware of? No idea
5. Do you have a recipe you would like to share? No. Wow, this Friday five makes me look lame LOL

Here's an awesome Les Mis parody I found!

Watch on YouTube

I don't necessarily like that kind of music, but it's perfect here..it's so well done! I especially like the "I dreamed a dream" and "alone alone/I'm on my own" parts (how did they find someone who looks so much like the actress who played Eponine??). It must have been fun to film lol. I'd like to write a parody, but I've been too lazy so far haha..I have funny ideas in my head though :P

On Monday it reached -40 here for the first time since December 2022. That kind of cold makes it feel like your face is going to freeze and break off haha. It's definitely gotten warmer here over the years, so we're kinda wimpy when it gets that cold now LOL. It's supposed to stay cold next week too..fun :P

20. What Movies, Shows or Books Do You Wish Had Sequels, Spinoffs or New Episodes? Agent Carter, the Wayfarers series by Becky Chambers (cozy and great sci-fi!), Flavia de Luce mysteries, etc

21. Do You Like Scary Movies and Books? A little is alright, but I don't want to have nightmares and be scared something's going to kill me in my own house LOL

22. What Are the Best Things You’ve Acquired Secondhand? The Worst Journey in the World first edition (and many other books lol), a kitchen table, a pretty decorative plate, etc

23. Do You Believe That Everything Happens for a Reason? They definitely can. Last year Denise was falling apart and couldn't be Bookstore Manager anymore. Vicki's husband died in Feburary, and her friend asked her to visit Alaska (her husband died in her arms, and she was struggling with PTSD and blackouts). Before that, she was hiking and a raven flew over her, showing its belly, which she saw and a sign that yes, she needs to go to Alaska. I think she came in April or May, and knew it was going to be home for her..she wanted out of California as soon as possible. She saw the job listing for the bookstore (her resume was SUPER impressive, they wanted to hire her as soon as she was done, but waited like an hour haha), got the job, got a house, etc. She's SO good with people and perfect for the job. She LOVES Alaska, even the super cold weather of this week..I think it's allowed her to slowly heal. There are other examples, but that's one of my favorites

24. Do You Believe in Intelligent Alien Life? *shrugs* Who knows?

25. Have You Ever Felt Pressured by Family or Others in Making an Important Decision About Your Future? Sure, like moving to Alaska (change is hard for me), but it was definitely the right decision

26. Would You Like to Ride in a Car That Drives Itself? That might be weird. O_o Maybe a short distance in a controlled area first..
