People say stuff lives rent free in their brains but the merchant from Starfox Adventures genuinely does.

I also saw a few people saying they’d not be watching due to the addition of Joel Dommett.
Something tells me they’ve only seen him on Masked Singer. (I actually think he’s good on that!)

Turns out my penchant for recognising actors in TV shows/films extends to animals. I was sure the monkey in a Veronica Mars episode was Marcel - the internet confirms this is the case.

Keep thinking about the ‘Big Iron’ needle drop and coffee drinking in the new Fallout episode.

Pure fan service and I’m here for it.

Oh no.
I am a Mountain happened.
The death of Biffy. 😢

Jukebox choices are wild.
A guy has put on ‘Phonics, Manics, The Verve, Oasis…
Alright middle aged man who doesn’t really like music…

I think I watched Mulholland Dr. early in my Lynch journey so this rewatch is making me appreciate so much more of the direction and the perfection that is Naomi Watts. 👌

Teaching my classes about 19th century medical discoveries and resisting the urge to bang out some Kate Nash.

“So kids, do you know what GERM actually stands for?”

After moving house I’ve been walking to work and everyone keeps asking if I want a lift - I have a car, this is a choice! (It’s a ~15min walk)
Society really is doomed right?

As a British person I enjoyed your explanation of the Cracker Barrel story!

Thank you, that’s so kind! Unfortunately (fortunately?) away for an exciting holiday to Whitby so won’t be back during your RHLSTP run.

Gutted to miss @herring1967.bsky.social today due to a delayed bus but I look forward to listening to the podcast and feel ok about having contributed to Edinburgh accommodation costs at least!

Bonus @stuartlawscomedy.bsky.social instead. 🙂

I don’t really ‘comfort watch’ TV shows but I’ve put this on in the background while I pack my house for moving. I have laughed out loud many times already.
A work of sheer genius.

Just watched @joshgondelman.bsky.social ‘s special (here youtu.be/RAvNlgpdKKo?...)

It is very cruffin’ good - I would recommend it!

I still sometimes think about the Sex & The City box set lying in my mum’s living room that no-one would take responsibility for owning. It was almost certainly my ex-SIL’s but it was bizarre she wouldn’t own up. 😅😅

I enjoyed it - It wasn’t that engaging for the most part but it was a good game to switch off from the world and get through.
There are some good companion characters but I feel they were often a bit underwritten.

👏

The first night in our current house we listened to Eurovision on the radio and Austria won. We’re due to move in the next month and Austria have won again. Kinda poetic I suppose!

I barely saw any of it so far but she is phenomenal. 🇫🇮

I do SQA marking and I should really get a PSA out there for the weekends when we do central marking. Currently marking Higher assignments so I fully sympathise!

Our house is going up soon and I just saw that our cat has made himself known!

I saw the stage version (in the cinema) recently and Armando Iannucci has done a brilliant job! Worth checking out if you can stream it from the National Theatre.

I have a weird relationship with 428: Shibuya Scramble. (Shoutout to @mumbofish.bsky.social for the recommendation)

I think it’s one of the best games I’ve ever played but it’s taking me years to get through as I really really don’t want it to end. Just finished 16:00-17:00 today.

I’ve barely seen any April Fools stories this morning. I guess when the news is so unhinged it would be hard to come up with something…

Non-gamer colleagues and friends often ask what kinds of video games I play but nothing is harder to explain than Hatoful Boyfriend.
What a brilliant game.

I was looking a brochure for a new housing development and one of the house types was ‘The Keir’.

No thanks. 😅
