On a whim I decided to read The da Vinci Code again.
Turns out someone must have replaced my copy with an early draft or something, because this thing is near unreadable.

Can’t tell if I can hear a tap dripping or an old lady typing a message on her iPhone

I’m rewatching Deadwood and am now realising what a crime it is that Walton Goggins never made it into the cast.

They’re the Vietnamese equivalent of those overstuffed burgers that are 6 inches tall.
Sure it’s good value, but how tf am I supposed to eat it?

There, I said it.

His long arms remind me of Hans Gruber falling from Nakatomi Plaza

I understand it’s always going to be SOMEBODY’S first time on a plane, but anyone who needs instructions on how to put-on and take-off a seatbelt is going to be no good in an emergency.
Surely flight attendants could spend their time doing something else.

A bit perplexed at the headlines about today’s #marchforhumanity saying β€œperilous” and β€œpolice feared the worst”. Surely the story is that, in spite of police fears, the march was peaceful, demonstrators full of goodwill and happily cooperated with police instructions to manage the huge turnout.

Saw this stock image on our intranet and for a second thought it was a reenactment of the Nevermind album cover.

Now that Australia has caved to tariff pressure and allowed US beef into the country, we’re allowed to judge anyone who actually BUYS it as unaustralian, right?

Figured I’d re-read The Running Man before the trailer comes out.
I’d forgotten the book was set in 2025.
Prescient!

Instagram is such a shit site for looking at photos of events.
I was looking for pics of today’s Melburn Roobaix and the tag gives me a post from today, then one from two days ago then 104 weeks ago then 52 weeks ago.
Fuck your algorithm

Is John Malkovich in anything where he actually acts well? I swear he hams up everything so much he’s just hard to watch.
I almost stopped watching Billions because he was so bad, now we’re watching Eragon from 2006 and he’s shocking in that too.
Does he have dirt on movie producers or something?

I wonder if it’s that or people get into β€œholiday mode” and don’t think about the cost.
Probably a little of both.

It’s like 6x the price of Tokyo Disney. Absolute madness, but also a necessity. I guess that root canal can wait.

I know loads of people who have gone to Universal Studios in Osaka, so why have none of them told me how fucking EXPENSIVE the fast passes are?!
