As soon as I finished today, I knew there would be at least one 10/10 on here. I got 8, but should have had 9 (put the NWA song, not album) and easily could have had 10 if I actually slowed down and thought a bit. After a 4 or something yesterday it was a big shift for sure. ---

#697 - 9/10 πŸŽ‰ 🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈 🐈🐈🐈🐟🐈 A lot of prolonged mental cudgelling to remember names I haven’t thought of in years (or even decades). I hate that annoying β€œI can remember what letter it starts with but it’s not the word that has immediately popped into mind” feeling. I spent like ten minutes going ”It’s not Hapsburgs but it’s something like that and I can’t think of it because the word Hapsburgs is stuck in my head now!” . Got there eventually, at least. ---
