Delivery day today. This week I took advantage of a Spurs shop sale to pick up this season's away shirt for less than half-price.
The shirt is really comfy but I'm still not sure about the actual design. And these Nike collars are a 'no' from me.

Princess Mononoke (1997) Ashitaka, a prince of the disappearing Emishi people, is cursed by a demonized boar god and must journey to the west to find a cure. Along the way, he encounters San, a young human woman fighting to p...

I love Studio Ghibli so tonight's movie of choice is Princess Mononoke. boxd.it/2b4w

I am so ready for tonight's Manchester WhiskyClub tasting. Tonight it's all about Annandale whisky.

Mandy (2018) The Shadow Mountains, 1983. Red and Mandy lead a loving and peaceful existence; but when their pine-scented haven is savagely destroyed, Red is catapulted into a phantasmagoric journey filled with blo...

Ive been a bit slack with Nicolas Cage movies lately, so tonight I'm going with Mandy. boxd.it/gtti

Wendell & Wild (2022) Two demon brothers enlist the aid of Kat Elliot — a tough teen with a load of guilt — to summon them to the Land of the Living. But what Kat demands in return leads to a brilliantly bizarre and comedi...

Just enough time for a little movie before bed. Tonight's choice is Wendell & Wild. boxd.it/iwtu

Bruno Lage is so so bad. Tactically inept but is a Benfica fan and beats his chest with passion. Roll on October.

About Time (2013) The night after another unsatisfactory New Year's party, Tim's father tells his son that the men in his family have always had the ability to travel through time. They can't change history, but they c...

Tonight's film was About Time and what an absolute joy it was. boxd.it/43bI

Love a bit of Germany in green (I know there are a couple missing so hopefully I'll be able to add them at some point).

Great way to start the weekend as another Germany shirt is added to the collection This is the 96/98 away shirt and it's the first in my collection of this adidas template.

I know it was reissued recently but the waiting game paid off as I found an original cheaper on Vinted.

Suspiria (1977) An American newcomer to a prestigious German ballet academy comes to realize that the school is a front for something sinister amid a series of grisly murders.

Going for a bit of 70s horror tonight with Suspiria. boxd.it/1SNW

Dog Man (2025) When a faithful police dog and his human police officer owner are injured together on the job, a harebrained but life-saving surgery fuses the two of them together and Dog Man is born. Dog Man is swor...

Father and son trip to the cinema for some Dog Man. Dog Man on Letterboxd boxd.it/t6Iq

So I took advantage of the recent CFS 20% discount to add this 24/25 LA Galaxy 3rd Shirt to my collection.
It's a nice shirt, but it's the badge that I really love.

I know I'm late to this and it's probably already been said but The Bear is a phenomenal TV series.

I don't watch as much WWE as I used to do so I don't know many of women in the Royal Rumble but from what I've just seen, Charlotte Flair is a terrible wrestler.

The Package (1989) Experienced Green Beret sergeant Johnny Gallagher is escorting a prisoner, Airborne Ranger Thomas Boyette, back to the US, but Boyette escapes and Gallagher must risk life and limb to catch him.

This year I'm doing a movie challenge on Letterboxd and this week the prompt was 'Pam Grier week'. Soni watched The Package not knowing she was only in it for about 5 minutes. boxd.it/1iIQ

I got in touch with a personal trainer, restarted 5km runs 3 times a week and changed my diet.

It's taken a few months but today I stepped on the scales and saw the 99kgs flash up.

I know I am still overweight but I'm taking this win. Now to set my next target...

On a more personal note...
For all my life, I have always weighed more than 100kgs. During COVID, I set myself a target of hitting 99kgs so I could see two digits rather than three on the scales. I got very close and then lost my way again. Last year, I started again...

And another MLS All-Star shirt comes through the door. This is the 2016 shirt. It's nice enough but the star and maple leaf should be more prominent as in other shirts.
This was another Vinted buy and it needed a lot of TLC. The sponsor has peeled away a bit but it's still ok.

This is my first Neil Marshall. I've heard of The Descent and to be honest, I think I'd be like you. The claustropohia would affect me more than whatever monster is in it.

3 very good movies with this week's obligatory Nicolas Cage movie.

Dog Soldiers (2002) A band of soldiers is dispatched to war games deep in the woods. When they stumble across a rival team slaughtered in camp, they realize they're not alone.

Tonight's movie of choice is Dog Soldiers. It's been on my watchlist for ages for some reason I'd just not got round to it. boxd.it/1SRE

And so my first footy shirt of 2025 has arrived and it's this MLS 20/21 All-Star authentic shirt.
I really like how the stars and maple leafs are used on All-Star shirts and this is no different.
I may have the MLS all-star bug now.
Gotta love a Vinted bargain.

This guy... what a player!

Like mo-fo

Yes... yes we did

Let's just say... I'm far from happy with the way the Benfica match ended.

Whip It (2009) In Bodeen, Texas, Land Of The Dragon, an indie-rock loving misfit finds a way of dealing with her small-town misery after she discovers a roller derby league in nearby Austin.

Tonight I'm watching Whip It to complete my Kristen Wiig week on my Letterboxd movie challenge. boxd.it/1A3m

Quite a mixed bag. From the brilliant Catch Me If You Can, to the fun but flawed Sonic the Hedgehog and Executive Decision and then culminating in the absolutely terrible Aeon Flux... A film that just filled me with rage at how bad it was.

Sonic the Hedgehog (2020) Powered with incredible speed, Sonic The Hedgehog embraces his new home on Earth. That is, until Sonic sparks the attention of super-uncool evil genius Dr. Robotnik. Now it’s super-villain vs. super-s...

I really enjoyed the Super Mario movie back in 2023 so I thought it was about time I got round to watching the Sonic movie. boxd.it/gdK8

Good shouts. I've watched the Cornetto and Back to the Future trilogies but I've added the Dollars trilogy to the watchlist. I'd completely forgotten about them.
