Finally cleared my desk in my office this weekend and wrote the first chapter of 2 different book ideas I've had floating around my head. It was a good weekend for progress!

Never before has a trailer looked so much like Kingdom Hearts at the start. Maybe I'm just too desperate for Kingdom Hearts news. #StateofPlay

I still haven't gotten used to watching State of Play (and similar) and not working in the games industry. My body still feels like it has to jump up and write some breaking news 😅

I use Prime Video so little these days because of the ads. A few years back I was using it more than Netflix but it sure as heck isn't worth the extra money to go and free. If it wasn't bundled in with my Prime subscription I wouldn't miss it at all.

Realised that I'm going to be in Japan (and more importantly Osaka) in the first few weeks of the World Expo being open. Has anyone ever been to a World Expo before? Are they fun/interesting?

I was going to finally see one of my favourite bands from my uni days next week and they announced a postponement in the most nonchalant way on social a week before the show without even an apology. I just straight up cancelled the tickets. Awful way to treat fans. Like... What is this statement?

@support.bsky.team hi there. Fyi it seems you can't exit whilst editing a photo on a Google Pixel Pro 9. It seems the button just isn't pressable in the top right.

For anyone that watches Grey's Anatomy please enjoy how wild this episode description is.

I can say that I'm getting married this year now. That's pretty darn exciting.

Won the lottery last night (£5 and a free lucky dip).

I really enjoyed Dandadan but it felt like it dipped towards the end of the season. Also a very weird finale that doesn't feel like a finale, more a midseason break. Feel I've not watched an anime with a satisfying season 1 finale for a long time now 😅

Muddy Waters Too is an absolute banger of an album so far. What a great early Christmas present from Redman.

I accidentally skipped a cutscene in FFXIV the other week and literally had the skip scene meme happen when all of a sudden the grandpa of 2 characters turned out to be a god I had to kill and I had no context to what was going on until I repeated it. 😅 Never skip a cutscene.

Picked up a Humble Bundle with Sony Vegas and a years license earlier in the year and there's now one on the store which has a newer version of Sony Vegas (with other stuff) and I don't have to pay annual fees. ...so I guess I'll just buy the new bundle as well right? 😅

Just watched the funeral episode of Scrubs and it still feels like a gut punch no matter how many times I've seen it.

My gym has been getting steadily worse recently. Loads of broken equipment (sometimes the only one of its type) or equipment that half works Couldn't justify spending £30 a month so cancelled. Going to start doing a home workout routine instead. Ring Fit about to become my best friend 😅

I think I'm finally going to cave and get a new phone. Can get a Pixel 9 Pro on contract for £30 month atm, which is cheaper than the contract I'm paying off for my standard Pixel 6. I doubt I'll find a deal much better even if I wait.

Boring wrestling ramble from me: I don't know what the answer is when it comes to contracts. If you sign a contract for a job you honour the contract or pay out the remainder. Having the freedom to work indie dates if you're unused seems a fair compromise to a degree but wrestling could go further.

I was in Manchester last night and ended up in a pub with multiple different parties dressed up as various Shrek characters. I later found out it was because there was a Shrek Rave going on. The world is an odd place.

Sports animes when they roll out the "player is carrying an injury but is going to push through, even though it might ruin their future" card is my nicotine.

The best part of Christmas is leaving random boxes about being like "look you can have a look if you want but you might spoil your present" knowing full well you spent over £50 on anime and that's what's in the box.

My Spotify wrapped sums up a fraction of the eclectic mix of stuff I listen to. Octopus's Garden being there is because I spent 2 hours+ listening to it on loop one day and tbf it was a great day.

I find CM Punk frequently referencing behaviour that got him (quite fairly) suspended and fired as a "haha isn't it funny" thing so odd. I guess that's just wrestling though isn't it? Just amusing comparing it to any other profession.

Halfway through season 5 of my Grey's Anatomy rewatch and the dip in quality is quite clear. I remember it starts to get better again but there's so many odd choices in this season especially George awkwardly getting pushed to one side. Also the way everyone treats the interns is infuriating.

There's a deli in my town called Mustard and I'm genuinely furious that they've not posted a Kendrick meme yet. Should I go and ask them if I can work their socials for a sandwich?

Discount shop near me had some Canadian imported snacks and I might have to go back and buy the whole stock if it's all still there next week. Had a Coffee Crisp and it's a delight. Kind of like Tunnock bar but with a coffee flavour. Delicious.

Realised Stranger of Paradise is leaving PS+ so thought I'd finally check it out after finding the demo a bit meh. Really impressed with it so far. A lot of fun and very cheesy. Might have to pick it up if I don't finish it in time.
