Celebrating Star Wars Day, I Guess

Beagle!

Happy National Beagle Day

 

Happy National Beagle Day to all who celebrate! 

Ok, I know it's not particularly new and original to point out the fact that we are long since past the point where there’s a special day for everything in the world. But I do want to use this opportunity to both celebrate and reveal the ultimate Beagle Day irony.

I happen to own a Beagle calendar. Each month, it reveals a new cute photo of a Beagle living life. It also notes all the special occasions and holidays for me so that I don’t have to. Do you know what day the Beagle calendar doesn’t have? National Beagle Day. Unreal. Unreal and outrageous.

Enhance.

Thank you, Pierre, I’m sure there’s at least 1 or 2 people in the world who know exactly what you’re talking about.

Let's face it, it's all about the beagle playing dead.

Youtube Recommends...

 I've been frustrated with Youtube recommendations for a long time. It's not that I hold them responsible for entertaining me, but I've suspected that their algorithm is purposely designed to recommend videos they already know I have no interest in.

With that said, I got a chuckle today as "Himiko Kikuchi - Flying Beagle (1987)" was recommended to me.

In the past I've dipped my toes in the "Japanese Jazz/Funk" genre and enjoyed it. Plus, I'm a fan of smooth music in general (hence the blog title). And I don't usually publicly talk about this but I have a soft spot for videos of beagles, particularly when trying to relax. And so I recognize Youtube's ability to find a recommendation that (sort of) combines these disparate genres into a single file. Hats off to them in this particular instance.
