Very happy to have a new album from The Menzingers

Having a tooth extracted has pushed me towards trying iced coffee for the first time. Turns out it's delicious, and much less effort than cold brew.

Billing on the kickstarter feeds had shot up again. Turns out this was all down to reporting the many, many 404s that get generated from the host being scanned for non-existent wordpress exploits.

Since full details are up, this boxed set also contains my first (only?) contribution to the world of film commentary! Came away from it with great respect for people who can make it seem effortless to talk coherently for ninety minutes. My post-recording notes were longer than the pre- ones.

Wahey! Coming October from Arrow. And wouldn’t you know: R.O.T.O.R. and THE FINAL ALLIANCE feature extras by me and @snipsmovies.bsky.social. Chuffed to say we even roped our pal @paulle.bsky.social in for some notes on MINISTRY OF VENGEANCE too! 💪

Ticking off another first in life, I've had a tooth extracted. Not the greatest experience, erring on the side of not recommending. Anaesthetic wearing off.

@pauljholden.com It looks like someone's building a BBS/forum based on the tech that bluesky is built on - atbbs.xyz. You could create a forum based on your bluesky handle, I think. I haven't tried it yet

Broke a tooth while eating bread in Berlin. Those who lived there just nodded and agreed that the bread could be hard.

Nice to be heading home today. Annoyed that I'm clearly going to be hours late. Glad I downloaded all of GQuuuux beforehand

Considering changing my ereader just to have one with USB-C charging so that I don't need to keep that one micro USB cable around.

Yaaas!

Heading to Berlin next week for work, and apparently I'll be within walking distance of three manga stores. Not that I have enough German to cope, but maybe there will be some cool things to find anyway. Some Hino Hideshi, or Moroboshi Daijiro.

Akira in cinemas twice in one year? I mean, sure, why not?

Donkey Kong Country proved popular with the wee one. "That's me, and that's you! You have to find me in a barrel!"

Tried my hand at some Who's The Voss woodworking with the jigsaw this afternoon. I now have some more bits of scrap wood for the pile. Try again later.

A review of Evil Dead Burn (2026)

Between this and Dolly, recent cinema trips have been staggeringly brutal. I was on board with this from the off, the initial scenes set the background and tone brilliantly. The lighter, comedic momen...

Can't help but feel that if forums were still a thing I'd already know there's a new Red Dwarf book out. I'll just continue to pine for a lost moment in time, and attribute unsubstantiated benefits to it.

Make it through several bus identifying captchas only to be told my password is wrong. Fun times!

First time ever listening to Butthole Surfers

The best thing we found. Proud as anything that the wee guy dug it out of a big box and loudly announced "It's my favourite Thunderbird!"

Top find at the Reuse shop in North Berwick. Came home to find I already have it! True collectors have different editions, though.

Enjoyed that. Pretty sure I learned of it because there's a film coming, and good luck making that film!

Started reading "Whalefall" by Daniel Kraus This is going to be a fast, intense read.

And few years ago I started tracking what books I've read in a spreadsheet. Sadly, not far enough back to save me from re-reading the first third of a book before giving up on it. At least it should save me from doing it a third time.

Lucy holding a football. Charlie Brown running up to take a kick. "Is this still available?", asks the gumtree user. "Yes, when's convenient for you to collect?", asks Charlie Brown. Lucy takes the ball away at the last second. The message is seen, but a reply never appears. Charlie Brown falls.
