Cuphead first knew about Mugman's crush on Cala Maria
When he overheard Mugman belting out one of Cala Maria's songs as he listens to a Cala Maria jazz album one evening at their new apartment complex in Inkblot City
The song that Mugman belted out ( in the scene mentioned above) was Unusual Way from Nine the Musical
Cuphead upon seeing Mugman belting out Unusual Way : 🤯🤯🤯🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The next day after Cuphead first discovered Mugman's crush on Cala Maria
Cuphead : * arrives for his day shift with coffee in hand * Morning, y'all!
Chips : * tips hat * Howdy.
Wheezy : Sup.
Mangosteen : * waves * MORNING!
Pirouletta : Privet, comrade
Some other co workers present at day shift also said hi to Cuphead
Cuphead : * was cleaning the tables and getting ready for the 10am opening....and giggling *
Chips : Now, why are you giggling like a tickled horse at this hour?
Cuphead : * wheezes * I probably shouldnt say this.....but.....Mugman has a crush!
A number of co workers just dropped whatever they are doing and rushed to Cuphead
Mangosteen : TELL US MORE! TELL US MORE!
Chips : Did they get really far?
Mangosteen : TELL US MORE! TELL US MORE!
Pirouletta : Who exactly did your brother have a crush on?
Cuphead : * giggles * Y'all guess.
Hocus : Hmmmmmm * ponders * Maybe.....King Dice?
All the other employees gasp
Wheezy : Dude, no way, he and The Devil are MARRIED * points to a picture of King Dice and Devil at their wedding on a wall *
Cuphead : * looks at picture * WOW.
Wheezy : Hmmmm.....Cuphead, give us the gender of your brother's crush
Cuphead : Its a she.
Other employees : * gasp, oohs and giggles *
Ginette : Ohhhhh......uh.......maybe......Bon Bon?
Cuphead: No way, Gin.
Pirouletta : Perhaps one of the waitresses at this casino?!
Cuphead : Mugman's crush doesnt work at the casino BUT you may have seen her before.
The other employees : * start firing guesses and theories as Cuphead says no to the various guesses and yes to some theories *
It was also a day when Cuphead has a day shift and Mugman has a night shift btw
Mangosteen : WAIT WAIT * wheezes * So BASICALLY Mugs' crush lives underwater, right?!
Cuphead : Yup
Phear Lap : * listening to most of it * Isnt it......Cala Maria?
Cuphead : * grins * BINGO! HE GOT IT RIGHT!
The other employees : * ooohs, screams and giggles *
Chips : Well ILL BE DARNED! OUR LITTLE MUGMAN IS SWEET ON THE FAMOUS JAZZ SINGER FROM THE OCEAN!
Wheezy : * smiles * I think that explains why Mugman LOVES listening to her songs, yes?
King Dice : * bursts in * WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING?
All employees stop their laughing
Chips : * shouts * MUGMAN HAS A CRUSH ON CALA MARIA!
King Dice : * smiles in amusement * Oh? Well, that's swell. Now get back to work - the casino opens in 15 minutes.
The employees mumble and rushes to continue their work
Later that evening, when Mugman arrives for his night shift and Cuphead already left to sleep in cuz he was so exhausted
Chips : * slaps Mugman on the back * Howdy, Romeo! Hows the weather today?
Mugman : Wha -
Rumulus : Ey, Mugs, lemme introduce you about alchohol for lovers!
Mugman : What the actual fuck -
Pirouletta : You think we didnt notice, did you?
Mugman : Notice what?
Mangosteen : YOU LOVE CALA MARIA! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mugman : * blushes * WHAT NO SHADDUP -
Phear Lap : Its cool, buddy, your brother told ALL OF US this morning - even the Devil knows now.
Mugman : * internally screaming * WHAT THE ACTUAL - * sighs heavily * I'm gonna serve these 4 tables. Bye * runs away *
A number of employees within Mugman's vicinity guffawed
Bonus
Later, sometime past midnight
Cuphead : * is sleeping on his bed in his bedroom at his and Mugman's apartment *
Mugman : * kicks open the door of Cuphead's room * CUPHEAD SIMON DISHTON!
Cuphead : * shot up angrily * MUGMAN ZACHARIAS DISHTON I WAS IN A MIDDLE OF A WONDERFUL DREAM!
Mugman : * jumps on Cuphead's head * YOU are the reason why I had a crazy night at work just now!
Cuphead : * chuckles nervously * Er.....what now?
Mugman : ALL of our co workers AND King Dice AND THE DEVIL know about my feelings towards Cala and they frequently tease me!
Cuphead : * shrugs * Well, consider this a blessing since you got extra helping hands if you are gonna ask Cala out - eventually
Mugman : UGHHHHHHH I CANT EVEN * buries his face in a corner of Cuphead's sheets *
Cuphead : * laughs as he Pats his brother's back reassuringly *
🤩🤩🤯🤯🥺🥺🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It's the title track from the album Punisher by Phoebe Bridgers. The reason I decided with that name is because the vibe I get from the AU is much emotional pain but also a need to run and to let go.
OMG YES THATS IT!!!!
This AU is centered around Freddy having to live with his mistakes and having to let go of who Lucas once was and appreciate the time left on him.
Shiva, in the song by The Antlers, is a Jewish tradition where upon the death of first-degree relatives families mourn for seven days. Therefore, the mourning feeling of watching his friends/former lover die for something he allowed to happen, more or less, but a constant feeling of hope that tomorrow would be a new day.

Duet
Title: Duet Fandom: Dhani Harrison; Jakob Dylan Pairing: Dhani Harrison/Jakob Dylan Rating: Gen Word Count: 2054 Summary: “Anyway, you remember his cover of Must Be Santa?” “Oh my god.” In which Dhani is invited to do a Rolling Stone interview with a mystery person, allegedly an old friend he hasn't seen in a long time. And he is certain he won't get any sleep until he finds out just who that person is...  A/N: A dear friend of mine wrote a gem of a Dylarrison Jr. fic called “They’ve Trapped Us Boys” which made me low-key start to ship this ship. They I had the idea for this fic and let’s just say, I ended up giving myself a whole lot of feels. ❤ Thank you @szappan  and @savoy-brown-shoe for the kind support of this rarepair fic and lots of thanks to my amazing beta, @smittyjaws <3333 Anyway, this is 100% fluff, so please enjoy ❤
(links to AO3 and @ill-be-your-tennessee-lamb‘s fic are in the reblogs!)
It all began, as these things have a tendency to, with a harmless enough enquiry.
Dhani had received an invitation to do an interview with the Rolling Stone magazine sometime late in November. Now, that was nothing unusual in his books. He had done his fair share of interviews over the years, in part due to being his father’s son, in part due to long being a musician of his own right. Now, this invitation, though? It caught his attention far more than any usual invitation to an interview would have done. Because it required some navigation, some shuffling dates around in his calendar – and someone else’s. Just that Dhani didn’t know who that mysterious other person was, that was supposed to be interviewed together with him.
Dhani reread the letter a good couple dozen times.
It said that he was to be interviewed together with someone he already knew. Well, he thought. I do know quite a lot of people…
Furthermore, it was someone also from the music field. Kinda obvious. He scratched his head. Still doesn’t limit the amount of people it could be.
The letter also hinted that it was someone he had known for a long time - long was relative, wasn’t it? – and someone he likely hadn’t seen in a long time either, given what was known to the magazine and the public. It was supposed to be a fun sort of reunion.
That last part was what Dhani couldn’t get off his mind. Sure, he was thrilled and excited that they were – hopefully – trying to do something nice for him, but... Just whom was he to be reunited with?
He knew that it was supposed to be a surprise. He knew better than to get impatient about this matter. And yet.
So, a few days after the date for the interview was finally settled on, he found himself unable to sleep and opened his messenger app.
And created a group chat with all the people he could think of that the Rolling Stone might want him to meet.
 Dhani: Hi :) Any of you doing a Rolling Stone interview with a mysterious other person sometime mid-December?
Kris: Wtf mate it’s like 2am
Dhani: 2am where you are, perhaps
Kris: That’s fair
 Dhani yawned into his hand and replied immediately after Kris’s response.
 Dhani: 4am where I am
James: Not the one you’re looking for, btw. Sorry, pal
Dan: Nope
James: Want me to make enquiries?
Dhani: Nah, they probably won’t like that. Thanks tho
Dhani: Seriously, though. None of you guys were invited to do a RS interview mid-December? With me?
Jakob: Go to sleep, Dhanster
Dhani: Don’t tell me what to do, Dylan
Rufus: lol
Lily: Seriously, could you guys be any more married? :’D
Jakob: You know that’s not possible
Dhani: GUYS. Did y’all just evade my question??
Jakob: You should stop fretting abt this Dhani, it’s gonna be fine
Dhani: *eye-rolling emoji*
Jakob: Srsly, go to sleep Dhani, it’s late af
Lily: Yeah, we should all head to bed now. Sleep well, kiddos
Rufus: night, my American friends
Kris: Nite
 Dhani sighed and put his phone away. His friends seemingly weren’t involved in all of this. He should probably try to get some sleep instead.
Rolling onto his back, he pulled the covers up to his chest and squinted. There was still light coming from the other side of the bed. Dhani rolled onto his side and stretched so that he could reach farther across the body that was blocking his movement. Then, he swatted lightly at the phone emanating the light in question.
“Cat.”
“Hmpf.” Dhani pouted, but he only got a grin in reply.
“Who are you to judge?”
“Goddammit.”
But it was only a few seconds later that the light on the other side of the bed was turned off and Dhani found himself wrapped into a warm, tight embrace. He fell asleep within minutes, the mystery interview completely banished from his mind.
 The day of the interview came sooner than anticipated. The usual whirl that seemed to catch everyone before the holidays didn’t spare Dhani either, and before he could say “oh, I should have fuckin’ known it”, he found himself seated in a nice room at the Rolling Stones’ headquarters, right next to none other than Jakob Dylan.
Very much embarrassed at how he had allowed Jakob to fool him, he just buried his head in his hands and groaned theatrically. Jakob only looked at him and snorted.
“I never told you I wasn’t the mystery person!”
“You told me you wouldn’t be doing any more interviews this year??”
Jakob scratched his chin. “Okay, that’s fair. But I said that before I was asked to do this with you.” He grinned and didn’t falter even a tiny bit under Dhani’s dark gaze. He shrugged: “It’s not my fault, is it? And I have a feeling that this is gonna be fun, Dhanster.”
“Oh my god, please don’t call me that in public,” Dhani just breathed out in a hushed voice. “Seriously, Jake.”
Jakob nodded. “Alright. But in turn, you’re gonna try to relax now, okay?”
This was the moment that their interviewer chose to appear. He greeted them cheerfully and explained that Tony, who had done some interviews with each of them respectively over the years, wasn’t doing this interview because the whole editorial team had sent him on a much needed vacation.
“Guy doesn’t know when to take a break. He hadn’t taken a day off in three years,” Ryan explained to them. He sat down opposite of them and quickly looked through his note cards. When he looked back up, the cards in one hand, his phone ready to record in the other, he seemed to notice something that made him halt, however. Two shiny rings. He grinned.
“Huh, didn’t know you guys had gotten hitched.”
Dhani’s breath caught in his throat. Jakob noticed and placed a calming hand on his shoulder.
“Would you wanna talk more about your significant others today, or-“
“Maybe later.” Jakob gave him a smile and they began the interview, Ryan all too eager to hear whether the two of them were appropriately thrilled to have met again and be able to do this interview together. Dhani actually found himself relaxing after a while and had to suppress a laugh several times. Judging by the twinkle in Jakob’s eyes, he felt the same way about the interviewer’s excitement.
Sooner than anticipated, the interview was over and Ryan invited them to play a song together. This, too, had been hinted at in the enquiry letter they both had received last month, but Dhani hadn’t prioritized it as much as finding out who his interview partner was going to be. Now he wished he had.
“Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is always a favorite around this time of year?” Ryan suggested with a smirk. Dhani couldn’t suppress a snort and heard Jakob laughing next to him. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Jakob giving him a nod and turned around. Their hands brushed when he did and Jakob’s smile widened.
“You know that Christmas album my dad recorded?”
“How couldn’t I? You didn’t stop mentioning it that holiday season.”
“True.” Jakob grinned at the memory. And the holidays that year spent with his dad.
“Anyway, you remember his cover of Must Be Santa?”
“Oh my god.”
“Yes.”
Dhani gave him a searching glance, then gave in. He waved his hand at Jakob. “Gimme your phone, I need to listen to the song again to at least make an attempt to get it right.”
Jakob obeyed – all too happily, if he was being honest – and turned toward Ryan. “Can we get a couple of additional studio musicians to do this in, say, an hour?”
Ryan beamed like Jakob had just hung the moon. “Sure!” And, after showing them to one of the studios, off he was.
After Dhani was done listening to the song a couple of times, they started practicing with the studio guitars they had been provided with. It was fast-played chords and almost shouting the lyrics breathlessly into each other’s face as fast as they could from there on.
“This is insane,” Dhani said when they took a breather, but he was grinning, enjoying the silliness more than words could express.
“You know what kind of life you agreed to when-“
The door burst open and in came Ryan, a studio band they didn’t know, as well as two cameramen with their equipment.
It was a blast. That was the only way to put it. They made it through the song on their third or fourth take, but the second the cameras were off, Dhani collapsed into a fit of giggles and had to cling onto Jakob to steady himself.
“That was fun.”
His face was red and Jakob looked at him like he wanted to kiss him right then and there. Instead, he wrapped his arm around Dhani and pulled him up against his side. Dhani shuddered, but the smile didn’t leave his face.
“I should have hoped so.”
They thanked the studio band for the job well done as well as the fun that they had had, shook everyone’s hands and left to say goodbye to Ryan.
Jakob’s hand had long left Dhani’s shoulder and, after a tentative brush or two against his knuckles, was now firmly clasped in Dhani’s hand. They were smiling and their faces were still slightly red from singing the fast holiday song several times in a row when they left the room together.
It was their giddy and relaxed selves that ran into Ryan in the hallway. While they thanked him for the fun interview and jamming session, Ryan’s gaze wandered down to their joined hands and he smiled. Ah. He wouldn’t need to take Jakob up on his earlier offer to elaborate. He felt that he had gotten the right idea and wouldn’t ask – nor tell.
“You guys have a good evening, yeah?” He smiled at them and shook their respective free hand.
“Thanks, mate, you too,” Dhani smiled and looked at Jakob with a fond gaze. He gave a gentle tug on the other man’s hand and, after another smile and nod at Ryan, off they were.
Once they had put on their coats and were out of the building’s front door, he turned his head toward Jakob, only to find the other man already looking at him with a gentle smile on his lips.
“That was... a lot of fun, actually.”
Jakob grinned, just a tiny bit smugly. “You did choose your spouse wisely, after all.”
Dhani just gave him an amused look out of the corner of his eye. “You didn’t choose too badly, either, I’d say.”
It took them only two seconds before they were laughing once again. And just like that, despite the freezing evening temperature, Dhani was feeling all giddy and warm again. To think he had stressed so much about finding out who his interview partner would be until earlier today...
“C’mon.” A gentle tug on Dhani’s hand. “I think dad wouldn’t mind us dropping by. Wanna go?” Jakob grinned as Dhani just buried his face in the crook of his neck. And didn’t move away.
“Huh. Dhanster?” Jakob asked and lightly poked Dhani’s back with his gloved hand.
“Don’t wanna move right now. You’re comfy.” His words were barely audible, as his face was hidden in the fake fur of Jakob’s winter coat. His cold nose was pressed against Jakob’s throat though, and Jakob tried to shift away from it – but to no avail.
“Alright, then. Then I’ll carry you.”
“Nooo.”
“Don’t tell me you still have your so-called polka dot PTSD,” Jakob half-teased.
Dhani only groaned and Jakob laughed.
“We’ve been married for how many years now?”
Dhani finally pulled back from Jakob’s neck and made a face as though he was pondering the question seriously.
“Not long enough for me to get over the polka dots. Never long enough.”
Jakob snorted and shook his head. Taking hold of Dhani’s hand again, he squeezed it in encouragement.
“So- you coming?”
Dhani gave a plaintive sigh for the sake of drama (mostly) but smiled back at Jakob and, squeezing Jakob’s hand back, nodded.
“Always.”

we’re only here on borrowed time
Sitting on a lovely, smooth, high-speed train from Nuremberg, Germany to Paris.  Yesterday was a day from hell which I'll lightly get into but not dwell on, but for now, I'm so happy.  I'd be remiss to not mention why!!  Part of the reason I decided to book the train instead of flying from Prague to Paris was for many uninterrupted hours to listen to this new book my doctor recommended for me, called "Stress Less, Accomplish More" but Emily Fletcher.  It obviously sounds like a typical self-help book, but I have a crush on my doctor and she really sold it for me.  (BTW she's no older than like, 32, is married with two kids, super pretty, and totally gets me.  She's very female-centric and one time said 'I'll never let you leave here without a prescription for more birth control, we will never let the system be the reason you're struggling with something' after asking if I had enough for the foreseeable future.  Joke's on her, I'm single AF, but it really spoke to me.)  She said it's a book about meditation and although I've tried meditating before, I am a little bit of a natural skeptic as to allllllllll of its listed benefits.  She said this super simple technique helps you sleep better, greatly reduces anxiety/depression, get sick less often, be more effective at work, eliminate jet lag, on and on.  She said she honestly can't say enough about it and it completely changed her life.  I took this as a way to be more like her and immediately bought it.  Also because I wanted her to like me.  Incidentally, she texted me a few days ago inviting me to a new women's group she's developing for people in my demographic who are going through the same things.  Because like of COURSE she did!! She also tells me to call her Casey instead of by "Doctor" and man I should stop now this is getting weird.
Anyway, this book is by an ex-Broadway performer who noticed she was going grey at age 28 (cough cough I am too) and was sick of all the medications she used to treat these symptoms and wanted to get more at the root.  She talks about how simple this meditation method is - 15 minutes twice a day - and how it is literally the best thing she's ever done for herself in her life.  After her course, she asks people how much money it would take to stop meditating.  They all say something between "500 million dollars" and "no amount of money in the world, because what would be the point without everything else meditation gives me?"  I booked the train so I could set aside several hours to listen to the book, especially on this trip, because we all know from the Thailand blog era that being far away in new countries is often what helps me make decisions in life and really self-reflect.  Yes, I hear how extra that sounds, but I'm fine with it.  I'm only on Chapter 5 and I keep intermittently crying!!  We haven't even gotten to the part where she tells me HOW to meditate!  Just her background on why it works and the entire theory behind it.  The author talks about one case in which a guy with advanced Parkinson's started her sessions and after literally the first one, his tremors disappeared during the entire 15 minutes and for 5 minutes after.  She said when they both opened their eyes he asked if she had noticed, and she said she did, and started crying because it was arguably the most profound moment of her career.  I'm crying typing this.  Ugh.  She doesn't claim that meditation will cure chronic illnesses of course, but rather that it's the best thing one can possibly do to supplement medical instruction and for some ailments, it can indeed end up replacing them.  She said after she started the practice, she didn't get sick again (cold, flu, anything) for EIGHT AND A HALF YEARS!!  Because when the body can use sleep at night to fully rest and not just as a band-aid for stress relief, your immune system can work at its intended level and not allow any of these small things to come into play.  You'd think I'd be getting paid for this post, but alas, I'm only 5 chapters in and get ready for me to be even more insufferable than usual when I get home.
Onward.  Last I left off I was in a cafe with Lizzy in Prague.  We stayed for a few hours and actually got a lot of work done!  Turns out my freelance deadlines don't disappear when I go to Europe, hmm.  We then walked to an area called Petrin, which from afar just looks like a tree-covered hill.  It's actually an uphill path in an expansive park that ultimately overlooks the entire city of Prague.  The more we went up, I kept thinking "we must be at the top by now" and then new buildings and castles and paths and orchards would appear.  It felt like a hidden fairyland with twists and turns and new beautiful sights along the way.  I posted a pic on the gram, but at one point we came to a clearing and there was a picture-perfect snapshot of the entire city through the trees.  With the red roofs and striking architecture I again almost felt like crying.  Also saw a bunch of couples making out in the orchards with no shame all, so that was something.  Good on 'em, ay.  We stopped for a glass of wine at the top (duh) and ended up chatting about work/management styles/feelings about jobs/etc.  Something great about Lizzy is that it turns out for everything I'm interested in, she's in grad school for.  I felt like she was the manifestation of all things fascinating to me.  Kinda like when you meet someone really smart who is able to vocalize all the things you feel about things, but better.  Like Hilary, but not my sister.  Like Jay Wong, but not my boss!  We talked about Kitty and her job search and then got into the concept of finding a job by figuring out what you love and what comes naturally to you, and then seeing how you can get paid for it.  She loved hearing about Kitty and SpotX and the proposal she had to do about team-building and customer engagement, and we chatted all about different marketable skills.  I remember crying to Hil many years ago (Hil if you read this, do you remember??) about how I *thought* I was smart but I hated studying/learning/school and my grades reflected that, and how I've squandered all my potential, I'm actually really dumb, etc.  BTW in retrospect I now see a lot of that as my undiagnosed ADHD and I wish I had understood it earlier to get ahead of it, but it's okay.  Hil at the time told me that she may have great grades and a good job, etc., but that she can't walk into a room and command attention or just become friends with everyone, and that skills come in all shapes and sizes and one isn't better than another.  I'M GETTING EMOTIONAL AGAIN.  Remember when my blogs used to be carefree and funny?  Me either.
After that, Lizzy and I walked all through the grounds of the Prague Castle and wound our way down the hill to the Charles Bridge, and stopped for another drink.  Then we got into a whole discussion about relationships and sexuality.  Later, when we were hanging out with her husband, Rob, I found myself saying over and over: "It's like what Lizzy and I were talking about earlier..." and he was like "how did you guys somehow talk about EVERYTHING today?!"  Females, man.  Eventually she went back to her place to shower and I checked into my Airbnb across the street.  Got SO EXHAUSTED and almost fell dead asleep while waiting for her before dinner, but rallied, and so glad I did.  We took the tram up the hill to a nice restaurant for dinner, then went to an Irish pub to watch the Liverpool/Barcelona game.  No one there remembered the epic call from 2010 World Cup that Ned and I quote all the time, but hey, we do and that's what counts. ("AND YOU COULD NOT WRITE... A STORY LIKE THIS.")  We got there at halftime and were ordering drinks at the bar when a guy sitting at the bar was a real dick and says to me and Lizzy, "just so you know, when the game's on again, you've gotta move.  I sat here on purpose for a good view, so make sure you move." Then turned to his partner and we could clearly hear him saying things like, "Fuckin' ridiculous they're standing right there during the game... I'm not going to let that happen... no fuckin' way" Um, a) it's half time. b) it's a bar and we're at the bar ordering drinks. c) WE KNOW. d) fuck off.  He kept talking about us after we moved and she and I briefly thought about starting shit but you know, foreign country and all that.  Luckily he was cheering for Liverpool and they got stomped in the second half to lose the game and we rejoiced. :)
Went to a weird, dark "Books" bar after that and we were almost the only people there.  There were condoms in the bathroom and I took one as a joke to show Rob and Lizzy, but now it's still in my bag and freaks me out every time I reach for my Chapstick.  We went back to their house afterwards and I kid you not, just watched Harry Styles videos.  Turns out they both love him, especially Rob, which is so rich to me.  He was like "this guy is just like coolness personified and he's so talented and he's weirdly attractive in kind of a feminine way but also masculine and he has such a nice voice and swagger...." you'd think I planted Rob to say this to me, but no.  We watched the entirety of his Carpool Karaoke as I told them all of my favorite parts ("I was back middle." "Why am I always Julia Roberts??" "I cry in like, a cool way.")  It's like when someone says to me, "you know, I'd love to know more about the meanings behind Taylor Swift's songs but I never learned, what are all of the albums about?" And I look around expecting that I'm being Punk'd.  Parted ways with them and thanked them for everything and told them I was very grateful for our summer camp relationship.  You know, the kind that is intensely strong, and very brief.  I may never see them again and yet we spent 15 hours straight together on Wednesday and I had one of the best days ever.  See you in another life, brotha.
A series of hiccups led to a very stressful morning on Thursday that I won't fully get into because my poor family already lived through it with me via WhatsApp... but it started with extreme random nausea, (the kind you have a serious internal talk with yourself about: "no.  you are okay.  take deep, slow breaths.  do not throw up here.  you are completely fine, this will pass.  breathe.  you're not sick.  this is just random.  you cannot throw up here.") and then I got on what was supposed to be a train from Prague to Nuremberg with a stop in Schwandorf, but there was a service interruption on the first leg and everyone knew but me.  Probably because everyone speaks Czech and I, ya know, do not.  BTW so far Czech is the least intuitive language I've ever come across.  I could read an entire book in it and wouldn't be able to give you even the slightest context, like you can with French/Spanish/German.  I know, romance languages and all that, but man I really underestimated how important it is to know some of the language when you're traveling through remote towns.  I notice everyone in Plzen has gotten off the train and I think "well that's weird, but maybe they're all local commuters."  A lady comes by and yells at me to get off, I say, "English?" She says, "NO.  Bus." and shoos me off.  In the panic I forget my suitcase from where I stored it - thank the heavens above, it was still there when I realized 15 minutes later and fought my way back on a closed train.  I have such PTSD today and can't fathom what would have happened if the train had left.  Imagine my suitcase just taking off on a train to the Czech countryside by itself.  Zero percent chance I get that back.  Work computer, my treasured leather jacket from Kathy that I swear I'd save in a fire, all of my toiletries and pills and prescriptions...ugh I can't even think about it.
No one spoke English except for a kind man at the info desk who spoke very little, and gave me directions ("directions" is a loose term here, I did a lot of critical thinking and problem solving to vaguely understand what I was supposed to be doing next) to take a bus in an hour that would take me to Stod, where I could then catch my train to Schwandorf and hopefully ultimately Nuremberg.  After a series of mishaps and incredible uncertainty, eventually all of that happened.  I walked into the hotel in Nuremberg and almost kissed the floor.  I had big plans to wake up early and explore, but alas, I'm embarrassed to admit that all I did in Nuremberg was buy some wine/chocolate/gummy bears and stay in all night and sleep late this morning.  Bodies need rest, y'all.  My audiobook author would tell me that my body is in recovery mode after releasing an unnatural amount of adrenaline and cortisol.  NEVERTHELESS SHE PERSISTED!
I'll be staying with rig friend Angie and her family in Paris, and seeing rig Aaron there too.  He messaged me yesterday and said, "so do you want to see museums and such? Or I can show you my favorite brasseries?" I said, "I've been to Paris, I'd just like to day drink honestly."  Luckily he is on board, shawoooooooo.  Oddly there's no WiFi on this train like they said there would be, but it's not that bad because it's so smooth and comfortable and I still have my audiobook.  Will post this blog sometime later when the WiFi shows up.  Cross your fingers that I get the romantic countryside train ride I pined for.  And happy weekend!!!
