buffet shows, 5.7.23

my dad took us all out today to celebrate a few things. those few things were my cousin’s gday, my mom’s gday, my grandpa’s gday, my gday, my auntie’s gday, and my parents 40th anniversary. last week of march to first week of may is a busy month for us on this side. we went to a buffet by the pet cemetary near the new hampshire border. the food was pretty good, actually. i ate some chinese donuts, general tso’s, egg rolls, jello, and even some mint delicacy i’ve only ever seen at the river back in charlotte. the mint dessert tasted just like i remembered it at the river, which is wild because i still don’t know what it is nor what the name of it is. while we were eating, my uncle dave tells me about a show on netflix called chimp empire. it’s about an alpha chimp running a group of a few hundred chimps like a society/dictator. it piqued my interest because we share 98% of our dna with them, so of course there will be some similarities in terms of looks, habits, etc., but i’ve always associated society with humans so it was surprising to hear there’s more than hierarchy in the chimp world. i didn’t have much to say because i was so interested that i told uncle dave about bubbles, michael jackson’s chimp, and how he’s in florida at a rescue.

between chimp empire, breaking bad, and the tupac documentary money recommended, i’ve got plenty shows to binge during my downtime.
