I knew this reminded me of something! My mom has this book with pictures of babies in various scenes with flowers all dressed up in cute costumes aaaaaaaand:

Yep, Anne Geddes.  Cuteness raised to lethal levels.

I think it's a law that every mom in the English-speaking world must receive an Anne Geddes card, poster, book, coffee mug, etc., at some point in her life.

My mom has that book! My old pediatrician's office had lots of her photos on the wall, too.

I'm so glad I decided to check the forum before going to sleep. :'D

They also had giant framed prints in my local dentist's waiting room.... But I guess it was also the shared waiting room of a pediatrician's clinic, so it made sense X)

TWIN PEAKS!  The most beautifully creepy show of all time ever!  (Even if it is incredibly sexist, even for 25 years ago.)  AGENT COOPER AAAA!  (Just in case you thought dignified Auntie Sunflower didn't know how to properly fangirl.)

And did you know it's coming back?  David Lynch and all!  http://www.rollingstone.com/tv/news/david-lynch-returns-to-twin-peaks-revival-20150516

Twin Peaks, oh man I can't wait for the new episodes. This show traumatized me quite badly as a child, made worse by the fact that I grew up in a tiny village and our house was right beside a small forest. There were owls there.

That looks like the plant equivalent of the eye of Sauron.
It sees all.

I love this discussion. Somehow my stupid accidentally-corner-kicking-a-bag-of-crisps turned into this madness in a matter of seconds and it's still going strong today...

And it does
It's the plant of Sauron

you have to admit sunflower IS kind of all-seeing, no? ok now I don't remember if Sauron's eye was supposed to be all-seeing or not but

also I'm kind of worried that you think the piece of information I have on you is somehow more embarassing than your admitting to kicking a bag of chips or being thrown out of a party because of messing with fireworks



apropos nothing, I hear the weather back home in Trondheim is... the coldest summer in 90 years or something. About 10C which IS unusual at this time, even in Norway. I'm just glad Prague isn't 30C anymore

True, true.

The difference is that one of those happened a loooong time ago and I've gotten over the worst embarrassment, the second one was accidental (as opposed to fully realizing that the idea would make me a total loser and going with it anyway ).

See here you, if you're going to keep bringing it up you're going to have to spill it at some point you big tease.

In other news I've found the one single trdelnik stand in all of Poland. It's a bit different from what I'm used to. They're cheaper, bigger and come in more than one variety.

Oh pff it'll not stay a secret for long that's for sure.
'Sides I've never seen anyone successfully tease you before so this is a novel experience.

HAIZ I distinctly remember using the word secret a few times in all capslock (it's ok since you'll be drawing it anyway, not like it's an actual secret-secret )(in all honesty I'm not quite as embarrassed as I should be).

That is not hard (but I'd not recommend it).

A secret from whom though.
