I'm delighted to report that although I had some trepidation based on early reviews, the TV version of Time Bandits is actually really good.
I might have gotten to it eventually, but thanks to @robinfromwork.bsky.social for kicking me in the general direction.
Also, Ross Noble!

A not insignificant portion of my thought process on going to the Ontario Craft Brewers Conference this year is so that I can get either a Banh Mi Hue or Viva La Pita order in for the return trip.
That shawarma place looked pretty good from the bus stop last year.

Periodic update on the Jordans St. John, response only, to a scripture quoting Randy St. John with the wrong email for his Jordan:
Dear Papaw Randy.
I reminded of the tale of Esau and Jacob who find themselves so different from one another.

The vibes are really off downtown. Mostly people in ones and twos, not a lot of foot traffic. A lot of blue, but you get the sense they're killing time.
Day after Halloween, so it is an older crowd.
I'd call it milling about, mostly.
Give it four hours.

Overheard on the subway.
Man wearing lamb of god t-shirt, holding an unlit blunt:
'Thank you robot lady, I don't know what I would do without you. Wander the subway aimlessly. Not that I don't do that anyway.
Am I talking out loud?'
