I wonder what'll happen to my problematic bestie Thomas Cromwell. Nothing bad I hope. I hope his retirement home is nice.

Watched Casino Royale on the plane. There is SO MUCH product placement, but then they flipped that Aston Martin and I was like, oh right of course, yeah okay. Bond should probably play a PS3* and chug some red bull now.

*The movie is way older than I realised**

**It's excellent, 10/10

Hide the existence of your identical twin for decades so you can do a stage magic act in which it seems like you teleported.

With a new Star Wars related trailer out, it is important to take time and reflect on what this new entry for the canon contributes to the ongoing epic tale being woven about Director Krennic, the main character of Star Wars

25-year old Jaq (looking quite desheveled) drawing more & thinking "I wanna marginally get by in comics"

Plus if scooters were most wildly recognised as transport for Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 maybe things would have worked out differently this time too

Looking at a person on a scooter today and was like, man, those Segway guys really were right about the future of urban transport. Right number of wheels, wrong vehicle, wrong time.
