Hello. Come in. Cup of tea? Sorry about the blood on the handle. I draw, I paint, I am autistic, I drink Yorkshire Tea. Is that everything? I think that's everything.

I doubt anyone calls it a Tom Hanks film as there's a whole ensemble of big names here, but still: I *love* Asteroid City.

Near the start of the year I read a book by Barbara Comyns and I've just finished a second one. She was amazing, and I'm happy to see she wrote another ten books which I'm going to try and get read during 2026.

When I was a child, my mother gave me a bear's face in a bag. "If you should ever find a man with the rest of the bear," she said, tearfully, "he is your father."

8th December 1989:
Straight after school, early tea, and then me, my brother and our dad went to the cinema (a rare treat) to see Ghostbusters 2. When we got home, we were just in time to see Alan Bradley get hit by a tram on Coronation Street.
What a time to be alive, unless you were Alan Bradley.

This headline makes it seem like we'll end up with Wallace walking seamlessly through a wall to mouth silently at three awful Gromits.
In the Radio Times interview, it comes across he's curious about anything new but, ultimately, it's all about working with clay. He prides himself on authenticity

How sweary is Kate going to be allowed to get, do we think? We've had "shit" and "bollocking" so far.
I'm hoping for "someone get me Doctor Fucking Who!"

Two of these are finished (see the last couple of posts) and I have the day off work tomorrow, so hopefully a couple more of these backgrounds will have something or someone strolling into them
Six backgrounds waiting for something or other to happen in them

Well, it's Ghostbusters. *but* (and, yes, I know it's not a film) I love that she was, for one episode only, the voice of the Planet Express Ship in Futurama.

I used to know someone at work whose sneezes were SO loud, so outside our understanding of noise, that he was pretty much just full-blooded screaming. It was too apocalyptic to follow with "bless you", the only reasonable response was "we need to check for survivors".
Saying "bless you" after someone sneezes is completely unnecessary. It's basically just acknowledging you heard it, and no one wants that. We should just stop doing it.

It's still a work in progress, but seems stable enough for "public beta", so by popular demand here's a standalone version of the parametric clock generator I recently added to my online teletext viewer:

He's only "Wile E. Coyote" in those few cartoons with Bugs Bunny. In the Road Runner series he's just "Coyote". And he also switches species and nose colour to be "Ralph Wolf" in a third series.
It's a classic case of one actor forever identified with just one role.
