Hungover Owls
There it is, the picture that started it all—Old Brown from Squirrel Nutkin. Look how little shit he’s willing to put up with right now! None. None of the shit. I started this blog as an excuse to lie in bed hungover rather than stand outside hungover, and it’s only appropriate that it ends the same way. Yes, this is the 500th—and last—Hungover Owls post.

I stumbled upon a recipe for homemade toothpaste on pinterest once and tried it that very night after.

This street, a beautifully preserved row of thatched cottages from Japan’s Edo Period, is only 300 metres long.
