half time of the World Cup semi-final ... back to staring at my cart for round II of the B&N criterion sale

this morning’s album: the boys of dungeon lane (2026) by paul mccartney

Mexico V England tonight! Can a bunch of guys called “Harry” and “Declan” who haven’t had a proper cuppa in weeks go into the mountains and win at altitude while being screamed at by 87,000 of the loudest, drunkest Mexicans in the world?! Here’s hoping not! 🇲🇽
just thinking today about Mexican national team icon, Jorge Campos, who at 5’6 was short for a goalkeeper but TOWERED over international soccer with these LOOKS
my entire IG feed is raucous Mexican celebrations plus guys who look like this saying estadio azteca is a tricky place to play innit
looking ahead to next week for weekly comics sickos .... four books i'm excited about (like 3/4 of which I've had a chance to read) Twilight Zone by Juni Ba (!!) among them
