Can't wait for this tonight:

2024: *Bought my 1st house *Sold 2 houses *Passed 1st yr & started 2nd yr uni *Left THT *Lectured at London School *Said 'no' a lot (+ didn't feel guilty) *Went partying zero times *Had zero sex - not a bad thing & not complaining *Forgave some people *Continued to loathe some people too πŸ˜‚

In other kitten related news- Tulla has still got a slightly sticky right eye. I got some antibiotic eyedrops from the pet store a few days ago so I'm still having to wrap her in a towel (Archie calls it a 'kitten burrito' πŸ˜‚) wipe her eyes & then apply the drops *3 times a day*

Left Christmas with the family at about 8pm last night. Got home & fell asleep on the sofa with the kittens. Was lovely. I was woken up at 2.30am by a kitten who had swiped at me (in my sleep!) she caught my upper lip with 2 claws! Actually drew blood. Been left with 2 slashes.

Happy Christmas gays, theys, and girlies x

I'm gonna to be honest - the first evening I brought these kittens home, I thought I'd made a terrible mistake and that I'd need to drive them back to the shelter (even deleted the intro tweet). However, I'm glad to say that subsided and I've grown very attached to them already.

It has become abundantly clear that I have not 'adopted 2 kittens' but instead have invited 2 very small feline terrorists to take over my home.

I guess it's time to introduce Torr (Torri) and Tulla. Two sisters who are probably about to turn my house upside down! *Please excuse the battered parquet which has not yet been restored and the absence of skirting boards. Two tasks at the top of the to-do list for January.

I watched Monkey Man on NowTV. Quite a gruesome film but also very poignant and beautiful. Dev Patel really delivered an outstanding piece of art. He is not only ridiculously talented (in his acting, directing, writing, and producing) but he is also incredibly handsome.

*in Mariah voice* "It's tiiiiiiiiime"....

I finished my assignment - ** 48 hours before deadline ** 😊

I have an assignment due on Thurs - so of course I am currently doing a Stefan & have searched (online) every animal rescue on the island of Ireland for 'kittens to adopt'. Googled random shit like 'can birds smell?' & I am now eyeing up the outside of the house for fairy lights.

Panto tonight with the entire family 🎭

No country does 'murderers' like America does murderers. They really are the gold standard for these kind of 'pop culture' characters. The world is such a weird place. Ryan Murphy doesn't even need to try - like it's right there.

So the suspected Untied Healthcare CEO shooter is hot. Let's see if Bluesky moves like Twitter πŸ€”... πŸ˜…

I dunno about you lot but when I hear 'splitting the G' it means something very different (to me) than that Guinness challenge thingπŸ˜‚ *it's been all over the radio today because apparently there's a Guinness shortage atm and obviously this is huge news on the island of Ireland

Registered my interest in adopting a kitten from a rescue. They sent me like a THREE page application form!? Girl!? That form is more labour intensive than my next piece of uni coursework!! I do not have time for all of that! 😩 *the little tabby

Hey folks. I have a PrEP question. If you're already taking PrEP (oral pills) and the 2-monthly long acting injectable PrEP (1 injection every 2 months - administered in a sexual health clinic) was available, would you want to switch? Please reply 'Yes' (injection) 'No' stay on pills 'Unsure'

London please help. I’m praying for a miracle, I’ve just got into the office and noticed my mums locket (in all these photos) that I wear every day has fallen off my neck on my walk in. My mum died when I was seven and her jewellery is most of what I have of her. I’m devastated

I just came out to my family 🀭

So that Joker 2 film just really came and went, eh? πŸ˜‚ After all that build up too!? 😳 *I guess the one good thing (or really regrettable thing - depending how you look at it) was that we missed out on one of those extremely long and totally bonkers Gaga press tours. πŸ˜…

This diva! *I can relate though πŸ˜…

It was SO GOOD! I almost cried in the opening sequence. Actually cried 2-3 times! Jon M. Chu did an incredible job creating the world of Wicked. It is breathtaking. The cast (& casting) was impeccable! Cynthia & Ari - pitch perfect, as was Michelle. But JONATHAN!?- beyond perfect in every way.

Wow! The first episode of Dune: Prophecy (Now) is incredible! Expensive! Beautiful. Slick. Well written, shot, acted, and produced. Just excellent. It's like a mini movie. It has the same feel and quality level as Foundation (Apple TV). Watch it.

TV recs The Penguin, Now-SO GOOD. A tad slow/lacking pace but to be expected in a first 'world building' series The Day of the Jackal, Now-Excellent series. Final episode next week Cross, Amazon - I was on the fence. Enjoyed it but was far fetched & a little cliched/gimmicky

This 'if Wicked was written in 2024' clip from @FizzSinclair has absolutely SENT ME 🀣

You're all joking about Cynthia and Ari returning for another Wicked movie (part 3) but there IS actually another book (Son of a Witch) so it's not a totally unrealistic scenario.

How privatisation works (and Thames Water is just the latest example). 1. A government takes a national asset built up with taxpayers' money and the work of public servants over many years, and hands it, for a fraction of its value, to a private company. 2. In doing so, it creates a monopoly. 🧡

Some of the best advice I've ever received; resting is not 'doing nothing' or 'laziness'. It's preparing yourself to do more. Don't feel guilty for 'doing nothing'.
