My birthday I keep to myself and whoever remembers remembers haha.
I used to forget others birthdays but the people who matter most to me I’ve made the effort to remember as best I can. Last year I started putting birthdays into my calendar as a recurring event so I don’t miss them. I just set a reminder a week or two prior if I want time to get a gift!
Any translation of “The Divine Comedy” should be atleast interesting! Possibly the best feat of poetry of our time.
Back when I was an edgy teen, the saga of Darren Shan and the adjacent content of the Demonata were good as far as I can remember. I don’t know if it will hold up for a more mature audience despite that being the demographic.
If you haven’t already you have to try Thrills! It advertises itself as “it still tastes like soap”. Unique and old brand of chewing gum that I think everyone should try once. Shouldn’t be too hard to find and it is certainly available in Canada.
