Oh wow. The actress that plays Marge in Welcome to Derry is the same actress that played young Kristen in Station Eleven. I had not made the connection until I heard @elysiacb.bsky.social mention it. I'm long overdue for a Station Eleven rewatch.

It's rare for a model to wear as much leather as Hudson Williams is wearing here. Gloves, pants, jacket, that's a good amount and it's very nice to see. Numéro did this photoshoot and it's pretty badass www.numeronetherlands.com/in-conversat...

I can't get enough of this song. Wolf Parade's I'll Believe In Anything is probably the definitive song of Heated Rivalry for most, but Cailin Russo's Bad Things is it for me. I get what I want I want what I se I wanna do, do, do, do bad things with you

Last #MuircapMonday of the year.

Today and tomorrow are work days, and even though they will be quiet, I'm annoyed that we're pretending to be doing things.

Wait, is Tom Daley jumping in that lake with a wool knitted/crocheted speedo? This is episode 3 of #GameOfWool

Starting Taskmaster S5. Sally Phillips is here!

A leg day was had

I've gone back to the cottage

I'm glad Stranger Things finally did the thing, and it was done well. I wish it had happened 6 or 3 years ago though.

New Brushpopper designs dropped, but they're already sold out. I like this blue and white one

Does anyone have Alaska Airlines Amex Airline Fee credits they need to burn?

Very tempted by a pair of Redwood Lace Up Wescos on eBay...

If I want to do a full The Pitt S1 rewatch before S2 drops, I better start now

My Top 10 TV Seasons of 2025 The Pitt S1 Andor S2 Taskmaster S19 Heated Rivalry S1 Pluribus S1 Alien: Earth S1 Slow Horses S5 The Rehearsal S2 Celebrity Traitors Murderbot S1

I borrowed a fringe leather jacket from a leather friend a while ago, and was sad when I gave it back to him. I was finally able to find one just like it and it fits perfectly.

It's Brandon's birthday today! I used to think the time between Christmas and New Year's was meaningless, but now I get to celebrate this amazing guy in the middle of this period.

Cleavage to Beaver

Howdy. It was cool enough today for leather and tall boots.

This abandoned house in the middle of a very expensive central San Diego neighborhood is very interesting

Hugh Dennis is a very funny man #Taskmaster

Brandon got me this amazing ostrich leather wallet and I'm kinda sad I don't carry my wallet to the gym because I want to take it EVERYWHERE

That Heated Rivalry finale was 🥹🥹🥹

Picked the pugs out from one day at Christmas Camp and the are OUT now

The Family Stone (2005) was scored by Michael Giacchino who very famously scored Lost

When you must match your car to your Weimaraner

The rooftop pool at the W Hollywood has some nice views. You can even see the Hollywood sign and Griffith Observatory from here. Los Angeles is beautiful after a rain storm. The hills are green, the air is clean, and Hollywood is very quiet on Christmas Day.

Damn you Alan Rickman's character for making Emma Thompson cry

We didn't take a lot of photos last night. Spent Xmas Eve with family in LA, and it's always lovely to catch up with them. This has been our Christmas place for the last 12 years! Merry Christmas to all who celebrate

Hotels in LA that will charge your car are kinda rare, but the W in Hollywood does. Will be nice to drive back home later today without having to stop to charge. This stay is courtesy of the Amex Coupon Book (aka the Platinum card)

The wind is HOWLING LIKE A BANSHEE (shout-out to Uncle Colm)

Looking very Ho Ho Hoey for a Xmas Eve workout

I absolutely do not need more jackets, but I kinda want this one

If I'm going to be put in the trunk of a Rolls Royce I'm also going to be striking that pose when it is opened again.

Judy Greer and Emma Thompson are in a movie together and it's not a comedy but a thriller? Ok I'm intrigued

We're making cookie tins to give out as gifts to family tomorrow night. Rum-Buttered Almond Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Mexican Hot Chocolate Dark 'n' Stormy

I love this movie

"Mexican Hot Chocolate Cookies" by the NYT. They have marshmallows in them. That's some white people shit.

My MIL sends us Christmas cookies every year. She labels a tin just for me because she knows Brandon will eat them all 😂 She makes "Santa's Whiskers" cookies that I love and I love her.

Waiting for my last work meeting before two days off. Time is draaaagging

Been listening to this Heated Rivalry Playlist the last few days tidal.com/playlist/7ba...

San Diego is also getting some of that Atmospheric River hitting LA. It has started this morning. We don't have flash flood warnings like many parts of the LA area do.

I'll watch Nigella do anything

We finally started watching Game of Wool: Britain's Best Knitter and I love Helgar. He's a German capital F with a quick wit and ridiculously high brow style. I love him.

Nacho keeps waking up from his nap and looking very lost

Brandon made the recipe from our monthly Butcher Box. It's a Classic Holiday Chuck Roast and it was so good.

Going out to run some errands

Starting the latest Taskmaster Champion of Champions which includes the winners of S16 through 20, which I've seen already!!

This last week of a business trip plus being sick wasn't great for sticking to my gym routine, but, it happens and now back to it.
