It was a lot harder in the days before Grindr

Far too much pressure!. I never even recommend a film, or anything else, to anybody unless I have good knowledge of their likes.

Back on the Innus & Gunn Spiced Rum ale, reading about 4AD and listening to This Mortal Coil

Just watched this trailer for Nuremberg and if somebody told me it had been AI generated, I would believe them. It just looks shite!

The way they stand and lie to us
It really is outrageous
I’m full of fear and loathing
And I’m nowhere close to Vegas

Out of curiosity I tried out Suno, an AI for making songs/recordings and it’s frightening how close it comes to getting things right from the prompts. As someone whose whole schtick is ripping off styles and bending them a bit, it’s making me redundant. I also listened to the new Taylor Swift album

Watching a fillum and remembering when i worked in a hospital and always left a room full of uniforms open for a passing serial killer to help himself to for disguise. Now Showing

With Netflix doing the Ed Gein story again, thought I’d revisit this. Now Showing

I used to love the crispy noodles in a Vesta Chow Mein so been looking to find a replacement. Tried this tonight. Tagliatelle broken into smaller bits, cooked and then dried off. About a minute frying them in oil and drain. Add soy sauce. Don’t puff up as much as the originals but close enough

Was gonna finish off a recording this afternoon but I’ve just been asked to be French prime minister for 69 minutes. At least that’s I think this bloke meant when he kept offering me “soixante neuf”

I think my response to whatever comes my way today will just be “fair enough”.
