"Slay The Spire 2" (early) launches tomorrow. Possibly not a lot of people know the game, but I've spent... some considerable time playing the first (I hope a lot of those hours are due to me leaving it running in the background). Suffice to say I'll be getting the sequel on launch.

Dreamed I fought in a martial arts tournament and made it to the final, against... A Xenomorph! The odds weren't in my favour but I won by ring-out. And now surely I am the galaxy's greatest hand-to-hand combatant. That is all, thank you.

Boy's back home after a day at the vets. X-rays, investigations, nail clipping, blood tests coming and... He has a small infection in his paw, nothing else (although what will the blood say?)

My bank account is weeping.

I'm sleeping downstairs with the lad because his leg is hurting him and I don't want him to try to follow me upstairs.

I'm rewatching "The Sopranos" and every episode (s1e9) so far is great and engaging. It reminds me of how irritating I find some modern shows where you have to wade through half a season of boring episodes before it "gets good". Why are so many wealthy franchises (in particular) so bad for this?

he's a brittany, they look like springer spaniels but they're actually pointers
