Goal for this month: ordering a piccolo without making a teeny-tiny hand gesture with my fingers to estimate the size of said piccolo

The year: 1993 The song: Canon in D The place: Delta Music, Glen Waverley

Wake up babe, Once Upon a Camino merch just dropped 👀

most of the stuff i’ve written since starting HALFWAY BOOKS has been published independently meaning it would be very easy to write stuff and put it it out without passing it by an editor first but let me tell you: editors fucking rule i will never write anything without an editor

Congratulations Sumitra! Amazing!

The second season of Severance took some big swings - and absolutely nailed them. Loved it.

The Severance love triangle I really care about

I'm a bitch, I'm a lover And my favourite film is Flubber Some people say it's lame, but I do not feel ashamed

I’m writing about all the things I ought to do before I die. It’s called an oughtobiography.

*me choosing a movie* this one is highly acclaimed with an amazing cast from a brilliant screenwriter, buuuutttttttt this one is 90 minutes so....

Back when jukeboxes were a thing, this track was my absolute go-to. An absolute banger, and at 12 minutes long, a thrifty investment 😏

Accurate 😂

My novel about Spain, love and time travel turned 300 today. A huge thank you to everyone who has read and reviewed Once Upon a Camino (or supported an indie author in any other way). You’re all legends 🤜🤛 #caminodesantiago #booksky

Write every day for 1 hour. If you miss a writing day add 1 hour to the next. It’s incredible! Tomorrow I’m writing for 7 years.

I don’t care if I get called a Grinch, but I’ve decided it’s time to take the Christmas tree down

2025 is starting to come good…

Government workers when DOGE shows up.

The acting in Conclave was 10/10. Amazing story and script too. A worthy addition to the best picture nominees

Emilia Perez really does deserve a swag of awards this year. It’s so exciting to watch original cinema again ❤️

Do not be fooled by the smiles in the picture (including the horse’s) - this film just destroyed me 😭

A ripping spy novel, perfect for train trips across Europe

‘Phonetic’ is not. ‘Abbreviation’ is 12 letters. ‘Thesaurus’ doesn’t have a synonym. Say what you will about English, but it has a sense of humor.

There will never be a better name of a French Fry store than Amsterdam’s “Chipsy Kings”🍟

In hindsight my small business failed because the rolexes inside my dirty trenchcoat were real and priced accordingly

I intentionally drowned my fries in mayonnaise today, embracing Belgian culture. I have to say: Jules has a point.

How embarrassed would the Dutch have been at a 16th century international shoe conference when the Native Americans arrived? 😅

Please don’t call it man flu. Its correct name is manchester flunited.

Live footage of me seeing the actor who plays Richie from The Bear on the streets of Paris and forcing myself not to yell “Yo, cuz!”

This article by @evawiseman.bsky.social somehow transformed my PTSD of the “concealment” phase into fond memories. Many thanks 🥰

Me: how shall I relax on my Saturday morning? Switzerland:

Another unnecessary sequel

It’s twenty years since Crazy Frog and thirty years since Jive Bunny. Statistically, we’re already ten years overdue for the next one, yet we are grossly unprepared.

my wife just commented on ed harris having “cool old man vibes” in the rock (1996) ed harris was 46 when the rock (1996) came out. i am 45.

'World Wide Web' contains fewer syllables than its intended short form, 'www.' The shorter version actually takes longer to say.

Cool, so I’ve been incorrectly calling the icy poles “Calypsos” for four decades?

*dentist singing along to a maroon 5 song while drilling in my mouth me: (holds up finger to pause) could you turn that up? dentist: the song? me: no. the drill. dentist:

Quite enjoyed that moment in history where we wished everyone a happy new year at around 7pm, “before the mobile phone networks got all stuffed up”. HNY!

Pretty fucked up that Jimmy Carter lived to see Wicked Part 1 but not Part 2

personally, i think one of life’s biggest mysteries is why the 4 Non Blondes song is called “What’s Up” when they clearly say “What’s Going On” repeatedly. this is why i never sleep.

My son’s plan to surround our house with treadmills if there’s a zombie apocalypse is kinda genius.

AI is the end of us. But also… our savior?

My 7 year old niece saw Santa getting into a car and now she has a lot of questions.

First time watching the Snowman with the three year old. He absolutely loved it until it tore his little heart out of his chest in the final scene and trampled on it. “What happened to him?” Worst. Christmas. Eve. Ever.

If you had to pick one Simpsons joke:
