Got made redundant from my job this week. Choosing to be positive, and taking a lot of good feelings from my team and coworkers being absolutely crushed to lose me (many cried, I was stunned). Also it turns out one can accumulate a lot of coffee cups in an office kitchen.
Me: “I haven’t had a haircut in four months or more, maybe I’ll just let my hair and beard keep growing until whenever, who cares, it’s all a mess anyway” Me, the moment I get my hair cut: “Oh, right.”
Everyone’s talking about Ryan Gosling, is now the time to talk about Breaker High AKA what if the love boat was a high school
Whenever our DND party tried to bluff our way past a guard and crashed and burned, this one inevitably came out.
We killed Strahd. Took two calendar years to do it. Rest in piss, you old dead bitch. He asked “Are you really doing to die for all those tiny creatures down there?” & I replied “Someone is.”. Pictured: all my homies who hate Strahd: @euchrid.bsky.social @elissablack.com @travisjj.bsky.social & Rob
(I also love going during their sales to get heavily discounted caps with flowers embroidered on them that all the big tough guys won’t buy. Your loss is my gain, suckers.)
@edidin.bsky.social welp, local streetwear store is selling Quitely jackets and I look forward to getting one when it goes the hell on sale.
I love seeing people who know each other in other movies meet in a different movie. Here, I presume Fred Ward is asking Michael Gross if there are Graboids in the Plaza Hotel in Big Business (1988). Ping @aligoodman.bsky.social & @wolter.bsky.social, I got there eventually.
Hiro, nearly 9, after going to Officeworks to pick out a pen, and going to a charity shop to get two second hand books: “Dad, I’m not hungry or anything, but could we go to the pub and get a drink and sit and read and like, have a talk and just relax?” Yeah, buddy. We can do that.
Petrol prices so bad that wrestlers in PWA are having a Fuel Card On A Pole Match.
It’s been a hell of a week, liquorland was having a clearance, and I have a Ninja Slushi Max at home. Let’s get silly with it.
Flash Fact: this promotion tie-in Kpop Demon Hunters cup noodle is Good Actually.
Hiro was so excited to grab this at Costco, but the complexity stumped him about halfway through, so I had to finish it up, stickers and all
I spent part of last night and all this morning cooking a smoker feast for my brother in law, who’s the big eater of the family, please clap
I did!! That was the season I found at the charity shop. It also had Elizabeth Ashley as Richard’s mother and had the best joke of the season:
Sometimes I watch old movies and marvel at the sheer amount of character and detail in the background sets. Like look at all this! (from Fear Is The Key, 1972)
Heard a line in a film critic’s TikTok and it’s been rattling around my head since.
Put on a Charlie Rich tape I got in a mixed box of second-hand stuff to listen to for the first time as I worked, and as it got to the end of the side, I hear a soft click, and when I took the tape out, it had snapped. I think that’s kind of poetic.
Went to see the Mountain Goats and met friends in line that I hadn’t seen in years and listened and yelled and whooped and danced and cried a bunch and hugged people and bought a t-shirt.
I keep this around for a reason. (Also this is wild, I’m literally listening to that KJB ep on the train and just heard that very bit)
This was a 1997 movie where for Michael Douglas’ birthday, his brother Sean Penn signs him up to a Game that like, fucks with his life and puts him in the middle of a big conspiracy. It’s an early David Fincher!
