Second Look Sunday 11 October 2015

Second Look Sunday Second Look Sunday 11 October 2015

I’m back! I think its definitely time we caught up. Life has been super busy. Not even just busy with one thing, busy with lots of things. It’s too boring to even list them. Finally, I’ve had some much needed rest and I feel muuuuuch better. It’s been so nice! On Friday I did some shopping and came home and prepped it all. Basically, I chopped up a whole bunch of stuff for tacos/Mexican salad. So good for vaguely healthy picking at on a lazy day. I also made huge bowl of fruit salad. Watermelon, strawberries, kiwis, mangoes and pineapple – so crazy summery and delicious! Mr Ask made some of his famous tortillas on Saturday morning. 
So we were totally set for a movie marathon! We had each picked a bunch of movies from each decade that we thought the other hadn’t seen. It didn’t mean we actually watch them but it’s better than spending an age searching Netflix! We started on Friday night and went all through Saturday till late. We got through quite a few movies from various eras and styles. Utter bliss for my frazzled soul. I put my phone away and ignore the blipping emails for once and just hung out.  But of course I haven’t completely ignored the Internet, here’s what I’ve been reading…..
  • On the topic of movies, did you know that Morgan Freeman didn’t appear in a movie until age 34, and didn’t get a big role until he was 52, with Driving Miss Daisy and Glory?
  • If you are de-cluttering this weekend, you may have experienced the “IKEA bias” which makes you place a disproportionately high value on stuff you partially assemble yourself, regardless of the quality of the end result.
  • Pregnancy is brutal – “It took me eighteen weeks to heal.” A rather full on, personal account of pregnancy and birth. It’s hard to read but very interesting, you have been warned.
  • While we are talking sex, I am all for education. Which I was why I was shocked to find out that in 1994, the Surgeon General of the U.S. was fired for saying masturbation is “part of human sexuality, and perhaps should be taught.”
  • Can you believe that there is a New York City hot dog vendor who pays $289,000/year for his location?
  • Want to look at some usual cat species? Surely you can’t say no to cat pics….
  • They say that the past is a different country. These cocaine merchandise Ads from the early 70’s certainly make you wonder.

  • I think we have all been here.“Phantom Vibration Syndrome” where a person perceives a vibration from their device when, in fact, it’s not doing so and may not even be in the vicinity.

  • And another weird human quirk, “inner speech” (the voice you hear inside your head when you’re reading or thinking) is accompanied by tiny muscular movements in the larynx.
  • I don’t even know how to explain this weeks awwww…..you’ll just have to see for yourself.
  • It was my Dads Birthday yesterday, so if you’re reading, Happy Birthday Daddy-O!
No Sunday chores for me this week, Mr Ask I got them all out of the way earlier, so we could sloth with impunity. I have coffee and juice and big bowl of fruit salad with coconut yoghurt. I’m going to work my way through that while in catch up on some YouTube. Then I’m off to a Nutrimetics party with Mummy & Sister Ask. It’s been years since I’ve tried, I’m actually looking forward to trying some stuff. I hope your weekend has been as refreshing as mine. Here’s to a great week xxxx
