Going to attempt something very stupid and listen to all 67 winners of Album of the Year at the Grammy Awards and then rank them from worst to best.

Most are albums I’ve at least heard once but some I’ve never gone near, so might document the highlights in a massive thread.

I’m about to film another GRAMMYs ranking series. This time all 67 winners of Record of the Year. A much less impressive task when you realise my playlist of them all is only 4 hours long.

I’m just seeing video after video complaining about the graphics, lack of exploration etc. But this is also people who are clearly playing it anyway 😂

All I’ve been seeing is the negative sentiment so this is actually good to hear from someone who has enjoyed the game for what it is. I’ve been on the fence on whether to pick it up.

Started playing Death Stranding 2 via the PS+ game trial. 5 hours free means you get through the entire intro and some of the ‘main’ game too.

Loving it so far.

😫 Lemsip counts as one of your 5 a day right?

Tradition when I’m ill is to sit and tick more Studio Ghibli films off my list. Today’s is The Tale of the Princess Kaguya.

Was supposed to be off work at Alton Towers today.

Instead I’m off work at home with Covid. 😩

Have been feeling ill all day so send sympathy, cat videos and your thoughts on this this week’s strictly dances.

Random delirious thought while downing Lemsip on a Saturday night.

If they don’t book Shirley Ballas to do the next series of Celebrity Traitors then what are they doing? #Strictly

Seeing Little Simz headline her first ever arena show tonight. Literally a decade since I first heard her and I’d argue she’s potentially the best artist of that decade. So excited.
