How to Celebrate National Scrabble Day in The Year of the Fire Horse? 🤔💭🔥🏇👻

Every April 13th

Scrabble is one of those games I can't stand to play, and rarely have played throughout my life, but obviously a lot of people do like playing it, like my old mate Remo.

Well, today is your day if you like playing this game.

Now if someone invented a game where Scrabble was combined with the Ouija Board, so you could play with dead relatives and friends, that might be interesting;-)

Ouija

Yes, No?-)

Ouija Board (horse)

I wonder how the owners of the racehorse Ouija Board came up with that name?
Probably not through playing a game of Scrabble:-)

How to Celebrate D.E.A.R. Day? 📖👀💭🦁

Every April 12th

"D.E.A.R. Day stands for “Drop Everything and Read.” It’s a playful invitation to pause the rush of a normal day and give reading the starring role."

From 'C.S. Lewis, The Reading Life'

I just finished reading C.S. Lewis' book 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe', which I found in an Op Shop, and another book full of parts of his writings and some of his quotes called 'C.S. Lewis, The Reading Life', which I bought a few years back from a religious bookshop.

And just a few weeks before that I finished reading the WM. Paul Young book 'Cross Roads', which I wrote about buying in 2023 -

At the Cross Roads of William P. Young's Work?🚦👼

From 'Cross Roads' by W.M Paul Young

WM. Paul Young is a big fan of C.S. Lewis' it seems.

None of the books I found a great read, especially 'C.S. Lewis, The Reading Life', and both I'll be passing on to a street library soon, as I already have with 'Cross Roads', but I was glad that I finally read Lewis' most famous book in the 'The Chronicles of Narnia' books, to see what all the fuss was about, as far as pop culture goes.

I think what most impressed me about Lewis was his references to Carl Jung in 'C.S. Lewis, The Reading Life'.

From 'C.S. Lewis, The Reading Life'

I'm not really into religious bookstores and the books they sell, but sometimes I drop into them and have a coffee and a meal at their cafe and then have a look to see if anything looks interesting to me in the book section.

The food and coffee are really good, but the books ... meh.

The gift section is OK.

I bought this "HOPE" tulip because I read about the tulip metaphor in the 'Cross Roads' book, which I was reading at the time, but the author never really came back to explaining it better in the rest of the book.

The Metamorphosis from Out of the Blue?🦋🌎🌞

And while some books I did find intriguing and nearly forked out the cash to read, as to just what some people or "Christians" find the "truth" to be in these deceptive times, I only bought a book about dreaming on my last visit, but 'Living in the Daze of Deception' is on my wish list now, even if only for laughs:-)

But I guess the book to D.E.A.R. today for me is the dream book I bought on my last visit.

Hey, even the bad books have changed my life, so I'm hoping that I bought a good one this time;-)

How Italian Brainrot Changed Memes Forever?📱🧠📲🏊🦈

I had not heard of 'Italian Brainrot' until the other day when I saw the trading cards of the same name on the 'Pie Face' counter and decided to buy a packet out of curiosity.

I got these 5 cards below in my first packet of cards.

And yesterday I went back and bought a chicken empanada, Grande Roast Chicken pie and another pack of cards. 

This time I got a baby astronaut crocodile, two cats, a bamboo legged pig, a capsicum head guy and Capuccina Assassina.

But still no shark.

I guess I'll just have to buy more pies and cards until I get the shark?

At least the 'Pie Face' chicken pies are OK.
