Survived the 24 Hour Movie Marathon at The Hollywood in Auckland. Attending was one of the goals for this year.

The past 11 months for me have consisted of my leukaemia diagnosis, chemotherapy treatments, bone marrow transplant, isolation, and then remission. So attending Marathon was my reward.
This would be me, on this very day in fact.
Thank you!
For me Remission = Admission!
Tomorrow I get to attend the 24 Hour Movie Marathon at The Hollywood in Avondale. I've gone to all but one of the Auckland Movie Marathons in the past. This year's one has particular resonance for me, as there was no guarantee earlier this year that I'd be able to go.

I remember being mildly disappointed when a certain Warren Zevon song wasn't in this film.

Why am I soft in the middle?
The rest of my life is so hard
I need a photo opportunity
I want a shot at redemption
Don’t want to end up a cartoon

My wife has discovered origami cats and now they all want to be fed.
Seated for tonight's double feature at The Capitol in Auckland for BUGONIA and SISU: ROAD TO REVENGE to open the 2025 Terror-Fi Film Festival.
I've literally seen a dictionary entry for "Welsh uncle", meaning a male cousin of your father or mother (regardless of whether they are Welsh).
In previous years the Terror-Fi Film Festival has brought New Zealand such gems as HUNDREDS OF BEAVERS, NEW YORK NINJA, PSYCHO GOREMAN, SPUTNIK, TURBO KID, UFO SWEDEN, and WHEN EVIL LURKS. It was so great to discover these, especially on the big screen. terrorfifest.com

If you *do* get the chance to see Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein on the big screen I'd highly recommend it. There are showings the next while in Auckland at Rialto in Newmarket and at the Academy in town.
Speaking of which, I bought this today.

As November approaches, never forget that the BBC pinned a poppy on Cookie Monster.

"YPRES MAKE COOKIE MONSTER SAD. NO COOKIES AT SOMME."
I mentally pronounce the US schedule the other way every time I hear it.
Lieutenant is one that is pronounced differently in English speaking countries. In the US it is loo-tenant, but for some reason in the UK and a lot of its former colonies it is lef-tenant.
The French seem to pronounce colonel as col-on-el, so just say you're using the French pronunciation.
Whenever I decide I do *not* need any more prowrestling tshirts, there you go designing yet another one I want!

Cadbury Continental Chocolates seem to have disappeared. The mostly red boxes. From the supermarkets that is.
Guillermo del Toro even. Bah!
