There's a hole in my head where the rain comes in
Ye milled my grain and prayed away the sin
Ha, ha, woman, you'll never be a Dame
But thou shalt not cast the blame

Well this is a surprise, P Bandai HG Mandala Gundam was just announced. Little history lesson, The Action Figure for Mandala Gundam back in the day sold absolutely abysmally. So seeing this get any form of release is surprising.

We've finished the first two episodes of Alien Earth. I found them so enjoyable that they coaxed me back onto social media.

That said, the closing credits music is 2/2 in giving me whiplash due to tonal shift.

Autocorrect tweaked Jethro Tull to Jet Boy Tull, and I wouldn’t be against that house music cover band.

Tip: Avoid at least one massively influential band during your formative years.

(The older I get the more it turns out I actually really like TOOL.)

There is a certain comfort in being right even if you're watching a preventable fire burn something nearby to the ground.
