Me and daughter just got back from the cinema. Glad to have caught the solitary showing of it on the big screen.
What a fun and silly blast. Starts off understated, really gets going, then goes utterly nuts.
Script and story lose their threads by the end, but it’s too full on to mind much.

Friday poll is up on the channel. Another clean complete four-album discography this week - Windir!
vote vote!
Last poll, with Satyricon, went the best so far (perhaps unsurisingly). nearly 400 votes and some good chat.
let's see how this does

It’s on! Me and daughter are going to the one solitary showing at the cinema, tonight 9.30.
Didn’t expect it to be at the cinema, so that’s pretty cool, even though it’s so limited. Keeping it kvlt, I guess

At a work meeting somewhere quite learned yesterday (awkward crop to hide all my work peeps, but imagine more books)
Today, on my way to Antalya for a Society conference.
Might not do channel posts the rest of the week - got one coming today, then am unprepared.
I’m also unprepared for my talk!

At Mac deMarco in Bristol with the kids. It’s a cool venue.
They made me get here before doors, and ran to the front as soon as they opened.
It’s like…..being a teen again

After 45 years in this earth and too many years of them eluding me, I think I’ve finally got the hang of Yorkshire puddings.

A nice milestone. Passing a total of 5 million views on the channel since I started it.
Shout out to everyone who was here from the early days and is still with me.
A bittersweet chart, but it is what it is. Recent action is looking encouraging

This is such a lovely comment to wake up to, on a sad day, so I’ve appreciated it much more.

October may have blipped past, but seems I did make it count.
Channel is doing good. Let’s see if I can keep this going all the way to the end of the year. Got some big work things that might get in the way tho. And…hmmm…life has some tiring challenges.
BUT happy I have some stats to show for it
