Watching the Oscars and that James Bond funeral was WEIRD

And I didn't really like Anora either! It was okay. God I really am a grumpy git when it comes to oscar noms this year

this is my superbowl

A Complete Unknown was so pants, it was boring, I don't know how it got a best picture nomination, sorry!

Unfortunately I had a Friday birthday but now I have to work this Saturday :) (injustice)

This year showed the Americans Bend It Like Beckham (none of them had seen) and they loved it!

It is my birthday. I am officially older than Jesus. But am I as significant a figure? Only time will tell.

Understanding Europolitics via analysis of which national leader gives the US president the most bruises

Get Back (1969) (I'm a liar I still haven't seen Get Back but I HAVE seen the Doechii Paul edit approx. 1,000 times)

The Beatles I guess! (& Butch and Sundance, that's 1969). Bit disappointed in myself that I've written plenty historical-set stuff but nothing from actually old canon. (Technically some historical-set Hamilton fics in historical cadence, but it wasn't the white guy I was thinking about at the time.)

Finding out there's going to be a new play about Brian Epstein at The Kiln next year and pinning all my hopes on that being a faithful portrayal now

I have had almost nothing to do at work all week and I have actually just spent the past 2 days entirely on tumblr and AO3. But very much should have been doing personal admin tasks and travel planning instead.

when you read a fic so good you get put off writing anything yourself (but yay good fic)

Thinking about Midas Man again... see, when Brian first sees The Beatles™ at The Cavern he's already said he prefers other music genres and it's not really his scene, but their magical cover of [checks notes] Some Other Guy immediately Transports him anyway.

Now I sort of have about ten different seperate horny fragments that don't quite read in character. Sure would be nice to finish one of them into a fic! We'll see.

Not terribly struck on The Brutalist, I must say. At least there were English subtitles for the Hungarian

trying to assess the current inflation situation in britain by checking the prices on the board in amelia's chicken shop date

Books designed to be read only by human eyes are different from books designed to be read by machines, which is why Google will tell you that the phrase “shake my booty” can be found in an 1863 English translation of Don Quixote.

(Chris Morris alive, mentioned!)

magnitude 4.6 earthquake just now and the epicentre close by! I think that's the strongest I've ever felt. Still only about 10 seconds and only enough to make objects shake around a bit but Did Not Love It and still not really used to it!

fag did not mean gay in the UK in the late 50s and early 60s fag did not mean gay in the UK in the late 50s and early 60s!

So what was the consensus we reached - it is your duty to keep up with the constant horrible news up to the point of it significantly affecting your mental health, at which point you should stop keeping up with the constant horrible news? ok cool great

Finding out tumblr has a tag limit (hitting thirty tags for maybe the first time ever) (just me theorising through ramble not like actual tag categories)

unfortunately my current language learning motivation is at zero, I have all but given up, my current motivation to daydream about [blorbo] getting railed is simply too high, mentally I am already beginning to depart this country although in terms of my actual to do list to do so there remains a lot

Got some more nice attention on my meta! I love writing meta I love writing my little movie reviews maybe my days of writing pornographic fiction are over maybe this is what I do now

It is so windy here every day. I am fed up of living in a wind tunnel. My god! In unrelated news just had writing group and someone was assigned to write something in my style and I was so skewered, with my many subclauses and long complex sentences and tart humorous asides (in a nice way)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SICKOS

ended up watching Midas Man and The Hours and Times this evening, meaning I must submit to the indignity of posting four beatles-related reviews to letterboxd in a row

Spent a little too much time today writing fic on my phone at work, as god intended

This week in elementary school representations of the United Kingdom: beatlemania Paul McCartney and his military minder (yes this Beatle is holding a bass but which beatle is he, it's all of them it's none of them)
