It's definitely something that you have to grow up with. I was lucky to have an uncle who was obsessed with The Fourth Doctor when I was a child, and my love of the show comes from that. I wish some of the older stuff could be redone: it's unwatchable for many because it was made for an audience who had tiny black and white TVs and a great deal more patience.

It's hard to keep remembering, but it is true. Thanks for the smile.

Yes! Totally. Exact same energy. Must be a predator thing, and why I love cats and owls so much. That kind of vigilance definitely speaks to me: "Shall I kill you? No. Not now. I shall conserve my energy until I must kill."

He looks sleepy, but it is probably just how his face is... kind of like I'm not bitchy, that's just how my face is. But he looks so snuggly and stuff. I think the kids today are calling it... eepy?

Yeah! I love that!!

I get it: I have been called a "Debbie Downer" for spitting facts and trivia after a joke... I'm sorry, I thought it was interesting, sorry they didn't. I think some people just have a different relationship with learning and knowledge. They seem to find it a negative grind, and that sucks. At least to me.

I am always delighted to get both a laugh and some knowledge. I remember when you first discussed owls' eating habits and water consumption, but getting a refresher is great. I don't understand people who get mad about reposts, unless they are hideously egregious. Furthermore, there are always new people, like you say, who haven't had the pleasure of learning about it the first time.

Keep up the great work, anon! It is always a pleasure when you come across my feed. I hope to contribute more to the community as I can. It is really hard to get out of the habit of lurking.

You are the best, anon. Thank you for always educating me!

Holy crap! That is hilarious and awesome. This guy went to a lot of work to edit this together... Part one is 24 hours! I'm set for awhile. Thanks so much.

Cool. Will do. Thanks, and have a great weekend!

Yeah, it's so true! I've gotten close on bourbon street watching an amazing mostly cover band, but I never expect to find fitz again. But there's gotta be bands like that... Right? Or has it all been that fucked by the industry?

Fitzgeralds was my place in the 90s. Motherfuckers paved "paradise" and put up a parking lot. It enrages me every time I see it. My friends used to play downstairs at Fitz all the time back then. Looking for that vibe: clearly I'm not a teenager anymore, but I love a good dive and a good show. Doesn't really matter the genre as long as the musicians are good and know how to put on a show. Austin was also great for this, emos and hole in the wall were great, and taco land in SA was amazing until it wasn't.

I mean, is there anything like that in town?? Or do I need to go out to spring because that's where people can afford to have a good time? It would not surprise me and I'd be happy to even if that's quite a drive for me. I'm just kind of lost because I'm trying to get back to what I love, but I've been so isolated I don't know anything anymore.

I mean, I know numbers is still around. That's good. But there's got to be something else where good music is happening.

Sorry, not meaning to dump. I really appreciate your recommendations.
