How to Celebrate Paperback Book Day? 📚🥳🎉

Every July 30th

I've got so many paperbacks laying around the home that I will probably not live anywhere near long enough to read them all.

Paperback Book Day

And that's not counting all of the hardbacks I have to read yet, like the hardback copy of 'April Fool's Day' by Bryce Courtenay I'm still reading at the moment.

I usually pick up a book out of the pile of books laying around the house when "the universe" gives me a sign, or I have a strong "gut feeling" that I should read a particular book.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026)

Every July 30th

Funny thing is that I bought a cheesecake at my local supermarket today, when I saw that today was also 'National Cheesecake Day' and the checkout operator totaled my bill and said I was able to get a free Disney Ooshie if I wanted one, and I said, "why not?"

I thought to myself, that if I get the Spiderman Ooshie that I saw on the front of the packet, then I'll have to go and see the new Spiderman movie that started today, here in Australia.

And of course, I got one ... and with white eyes?

What are the odds?

You wouldn't read about it, would you?-)

I thought Ooshies had to have black eyes?

So, it looks like I'll be off to the cinema to see it this week sometime now:-)

I just hope it's not too cheesy ... like this joke;-)

Lion King Ooshies?

How to Celebrate National Lasagna Day During Lasagna Awareness Month in the Year of the Horse?🐎🤔💭🐴

Every July 29th

Every July

I'll never learn it seems, as I bought another frozen lasagna from another local supermarket freezer and heated it in my microwave oven and had it for dinner tonight, as today is 'National Lasagna Day' and July is 'Lasagna Awareness Month'.

Every July

It didn't look to appetizing when I placed it into the microwave.

And it didn't look much better when I took it out of the microwave.

I kept thinking what sort of "beef" is in this lasagna, as it looked like dog food to me?

Horse meat may have been found
 in beef products in Australia.

It didn't help that I had read the above news article at the ABC news website this week either, I guess?
Maybe the brand name should be changed to YOUFOOLZ instead of YOUFOODZ, because whatever is really in this lasagna is just cheap slop.

There is even a not so SECRET SUN on the box;-)

Nolan's Odyssey is Way Darker Than You [I?] Think?🤔💭

I saw 'The Odyssey' today at the cinema for the third time since its release.

This time I saw it while sitting in a DBOX chair in an xtremeXscreen cinema. 

A cinema complex is just made up of a lot of Backrooms?-)

The more I see the film, the more I like it.

Thomas Thorogood You Tubes

I watched the two Thomas Thorogood You Tubes at the top of this post when I came home and found them interesting takes, even though Thomas likes to view movies through a "Christian" lens, and I through a Jungian/Synchromystic lens.

Still, I like seeing his take on movies as they come out, such as his 'Backrooms' and 'Obsession' explanations, and I also like Jake's takes of those movies.   

On the way home from the cinema in my quest to find a good American style beef hot dog during 'Hot Dog Month' I dropped into a local restaurant that had hot dogs on the menu.

Alas, I'm still searching for a good American style beef hot dog in Australia, even though the ones that I ate while I was in America were nothing to write home about, either:-)

I'd rather eat a burger than a hot dog, if given the choice.

UPDATE: August 1st, 2026

I listened to this latest 'Third Eye Drops' podcast/You Tube episode last night and thought it was worth tagging on to the end of this post.
