Just finished Resident Alien

Absolutely loved it! I think it has the best characters in any TV show I've seen in, well maybe ever.

Really great rounded characters who felt real and who had realistic dialogue. Somebody said 'get me this for my Christmas' Like that's how people act

Great comedy

Me: I don't like LotR
Them: oh then you should read The Silmarillion
Me: I can't describe how unappealing that sounds

(Ok but is The Silmarillion actually good? Like objectively)

I'm house hunting and each time I'm wondering if I can finally have a place to *actually* play wargames

Hi folks

I don't know if I have posted this before

Bummer Warning!

Life has been rough. When I am particularly down I try to take my mind off it

In a real low I wrote some poetry
About being unwell
About living miserably
About chronic illness

But now I kinda hate it

I don't use #Spotify because I'm a luddite who uses YouTube

But with #SpotifyWrapped, why not consider what I do:

Buy some music

I make an end-of-year CD with all my favourite #music for that year

Sure I buy them on #iTunes

But I buy them and artists get a lot more than on Spotify's 0.003p

I'm looking for a song/album

The song/album is called Paradigm Shift (I think)

And is from around 2010ish

It's like symphonic or melodic metal maybe

I just can't quite remember it

I've searched and all I can find is Korn or Liquid Tension Experiment, which aren't it

Any ideas?

Ok I've seen a LOT of adverts for the new Google Pixel 10

Like too many

I just want to say that I had a Pixel 7 and had to return it because it was the absolute worst smartphone I ever had

Awful

I've been waiting for what feels like years (because it has been) for the Project Hail Mary film to come out

The trailer didn't help either

Here's a trailer, but it won't be out until next year 🙃

Oh sure that helps
Thanks studio

So perhaps more like scrambled cauliflower?

People keep getting the wives of Henry VIII rhyme wrong
I thought I'd lend a helping hand:

Annulled

Annulled,
Annulled

Got this album in a charity shop today. I've heard Travis on the radio but never owning anything.
Good songs: Driftwood, Turn & Why does it always rain on me

Got taking to a shop girl & mentioned my new CD
She asked which Travis
I realised she probably wasn't even alive then!

Geez

Oh hey folks,
My Office 365 subscription has jumped from £60 to £85/yr
So I'm thinking of Libre Open Office
Does anyone have thoughts on Libre vs Apache?
Honestly I should have jumped when CoPilot became a thing
