I have some of the earlier Aardman Animations that came in a box set of other of their stuff, all good, but that one might be the most impactful. The Creature Comforts ones are delightful an apparently animated to fit real unscripted British people's voices.
I was on the fence about the Beastie Boys when they came out. I was already a fan of rap and they seemed like smartass suburban white boys making fun of the genre. The beats were indisputably dope, though, so I couldn't help but like the tunes. To this day I wonder whether they were authentic from the start or if their commitment to hip hop followed their roaring success. Whichever is the case they will (fairly, imo) go down in history as one of the greatest bands in hip hop.
Tgere is a spot to jump in the ocean every few feet pretty much. The cliffs are pretty steep in most places and the water is deep.
You can snorkel right off the resort.
The sunsets are beautiful, Samsara is pretty much the western tip of Jamaica and faces NorthWestish.
Samsara is an older all inclusive hotel(it’s been here since the 70s I think)
They have this great benign neglect thing going on. They mostly leave you alone but are really nice if you want or ask for anything. Everyone is really friendly with greetings as well. The food is all rich the way somebody’s grandmother made things. A lot if the food reminds me of southern food.
I included a picture of Blue Cave Castle, that’s the resort we stayed at the first time, it’s smaller than samsara and out of business now sadly. But you can swim over from Samsara and we did. We swam into the cave and saw bats.
That’s how I first noticed the P. Bahamense ten years ago, ES and I swam out the cave at night.
I just love the place.
Edited to add: so I noticed Snidely Whiplash Cat my first night, I thought hitler but saw too much Stache.
Anyway, I’m sitting eating lunch and outside on the path to the pool the cat is staring at me. I ignore it and then this younger woman and male friend walk up. The guy sticks his hand out and the cat bats it with no claws. Then the girl tried with the same result. She said “fuck you hitler cat, you can fucking starve, you should have been nice”. I fed him burger then and a couple other times.

It's a tenor ukulele, all solid Acacia Koa wood. It's a thing of beauty.
(I also paid a premium buying it on Honolulu. )
A while back, I bought a cheap ukulele (soprano), but I found it hard to play, partly because it's so small, and partly because it was hard to keep in tune.
I'm hoping I have better luck with this, and if I don't, it's pretty to look at.
