Day 14 - Time Traveled


Tonight watched TV old skool style with Tubi. It's a free TV streaming service that essentially acts like old cable. You flick through the channels that are playing "live" and according to a set day/time. I tuned into a movie called Legendary: Tome of the Dragon. 

This is how TV used to be. Tune into something half way through with no idea of what is going on. It was sort of relaxing in a way. No pressure to pick. No expectations of time well spent. Just something silly to watch. I sort of liked the experience. I suddenly missed something that I didn't know I was or could be missing. I yearned for a simpler time.

TV used to be relaxing. We didn't expect it to be the next big binging thing. We didn't have to spend half as long choosing the movie or TV show. There was no demands from either side of the screen. I even found the ADs charming. The whole thing was charming. 

This is the kind of thing this 365 day experiment is all about. I might even time travel again, back, to a simpler time.

Day 8 - Malaysian food

Image
  Out geocaching today. A trip to Canary Wharf. No wolves and no canaries but sunshine and tall buildings. I was so hungry I got it a horse made of burgers. I didn't eat burgers or horses but ate a Malaysian curry on a banana leaf. I've eaten Malaysian food before but not this particular dish. Not THE most delicious thing I've eaten but very good. Special mention to the chillies - salty and hot.  What will I do for day 9?! It's another day off so plenty of opportunity for something, innit.

Day 9 - Candle making

I made a candle! The kit has been sitting around awhile. It wasn't that difficult and just involved rolling together sheets of wax, around a wick, to make a candle. I cut some shapes out of the last sheet. It went surprisingly well.

Day 11 - A different movie

Image
Watched a movie I wouldn't normally watch in a genre I wouldn't normally choose from. A racing movie called Rush. I was aware of it being on Netflix and aware that it was supposed to be very good but not my sort of movie, don't do sports movies in general but decided to give it a go for something different. It was good, actually. I enjoyed it. The rivalry between the two drivers and their contrasting personalities was made for a compelling watch and thr racing was exciting and well shot. In general the cinematography was pretty great. I would have liked more track action but otherwise a good movie. I don't love it - not being a sports fan. If I was into racing I would have probably enjoyed it much more but I'm glad I saw it. It will never be a fav, but it was good to... do... ( you guessed ) something different.
