Random Bits Before Bed..
Dec. 18th, 2024 08:48 pm1. Socks.
J Scalzi states in Bluesky and on his blog: Socks! When did they become an awesome gift for you? And if they haven’t: Are you sure? Wouldn’t a nice pair of comfy socks just be the best thing right about now?
Me: I keep asking for them for Christmas, but everyone ignores me.
2. In the 1980s, I spent two months with a French Family in Bretagne or Brittany, just South of Mount St. Michele and north of the Normandy Beaches. I didn't see Normandy, although I did see the French Bunkers that were built during WWII and buried in sand and greenery in the 80s, even climbed over one. And visited Mount St. Michele (very touristy) along with a little island off the coast, with a town, that we rode bikes all over.
Anyhow, the French family had these comic books in my room - which were in French. And devoured them. (I was 16 at the time.) They were in hard cover and entitled Astrex and Oblex. I figured they were pretty obscure, and forgot about them...until I stumble upon an add for an upcoming animated film about them. Go figure.
