Finally got a house with a nice view and it's always foggy, I want my money back

Rewatching the Santa Claus Conquers the Martians episode of MST3K. Surprised how many rude riffs they slipped in, these early eps are usually very family friendly

Signs and portents

Just been to the only grade ii listed chippy in the UK, lads.

New house getting there, but most importantly I have the tree up and I've just hung the artwork of a Black surfer who is also a merman

Holy shit, I didn't realise In Conan the Destroyer that he apologises to the camel he punched in the first film, it spits at him, and he punches it again. AMAZING.

Watching a film that misspelled the title in the credits, this is gonna be GOOD

Your cat... on socks

I see a lot of people misuse various slime-related words. So, as Bluesky's foremost goo expert, I'd like to present the official classification. There is no room for debate. This is objective.

Merry Christmas

While cleaning just now my bent index finger locked into place, and I had to use my other hand to pull it straight again, like a treasure hunter retrieving a coin from a skeleton's fist. Do not recommend!

It should be called An Animal Farm!?!

Happy 100th Birthday, Dick Van Dyke.

Watching Star Knight (1985). "Princess Alba is abducted by a dragon, and it's up to Klever (Harvey Keitel) to save her. But, it turns out that this dragon is an alien spacecraft"

Spending one of my last days in London listening to cover versions of ELO performed by someone making farting noises with their armpit

You’ve heard of “girl dinner.” Well this is “boy lunch” (a tray of mustards and goops eaten with spoons)

Got some actual reading glasses to go with my usual computer glasses. They're definitely stronger, I now have to look over my glasses at people to see them properly. I feel so judgemental, I love it.

After all that, confirmation that my solicitor has just exchanged contracts on my house came by an anti-climactic text message. At the very least send the goodyear blimp across the sky!!!

Oh no I messed up my timings and the pub doesn't open for 10 minutes and I'm having to hang around a bus stop while I wait! Yes, a bus stop!!!

Watching Convoy from 1978. I like trucks. Big trucks.

Said this before but I like how Gordon Brown's Major Interventions are all "we must improve child literacy" and Blair's are more "we must harvest the sperm for the new Super-race"

Just found a highly rated beer on untappd and murmured to myself "yes, I want you in me" and now i know how bottoms feel

"WELL TELL HIM TO PUT IT BACK"

Favourite part of buying and preparing to move house is making approximately 694 phone calls, which I love to do very much

On-brandedly booked a ticket to see The Fit Prince at the King's Head. Happy Christmas to me.

HERE WE GO! Rudolph reindeer Christmas drone show at Ardingly labelled 'disaster' and 'shambles' www.itv.com/news/meridia...

Ooh, the randomiser pulled out Puppetmaster for me. Happy Halloween slags.

So, happy 50th anniversary to Melody Maker’s review of Bohemian Rhapsody: “Queen, with a suitably baroque vocal orchestration, contrive to approximate the demented fury of the Balham Amateur Operatic Society performing The Pirates of Penzance”

I wanted to find out when the deformation "dagnabbit" was coined and wound up finding out that "bear" is the same kind of word, used because you're too scared to invoke the actual thing

Just watched the last episode of Merlin and damn, I do like a good overwrought emotional ending to a show. Except the lorry at the end, i didn't need a lorry.

Just thought haha, what if a beer was called Dankenstein, and then I checked on Untappd and there are already SEVENTY THREE.

Watched Cyclone (1987), a film about a cool sci-fi motorbike that didn't quite live up to it. Jeffrey Combs disappeared after the first act, the second act had precious little fun action (it was all so much endless "baddies interrogating the hero"), but the climax was fuck-yeah fun.

Just watched Conan the Barbarian (1982) on crystal-clear blu-ray, you could see every last detail of that punched horse

guy who won't stop calling things "liminal" found dead at the end of a normal hallway

"Women of a certain type? Here, in Bromley?!"

20 YEARS AGO TODAY: Final Score had been using The Fall's Theme From Sparta FC as its theme for this season, so someone had the brainwave of getting Mark E Smith to read the classified results on the red button service part of the programme.

"In 2013, Paul Daniels and Debbie McGee toured their First Farewell Tour, followed by a tour 'comically' entitled Back Despite Popular Demand Tour a year later." QUITE unnecessary burn on Paul's wiki page here!!! Even if he was a little twerp.

Watching trash film Raw Force on fancy blu-ray doncha know. It went from 0 to tits in record time.

Should be about to get a completion date for my new house, potentially early December. The perfect time to move!!!

Get ready for a heaping helping of cinematic turkeys this Thanksgiving! 🦃 The #MST3K Turkey Day Marathon is back and for the first time features episodes from Seasons 11 & 12 via our Double Troubled Features Marathon starting 11/27 at 3 am ET / 12 am PT on the MST3K channel.

Not at the quiz tonight (how dare friends have lives!!!) so treating myself to a four-pack, and later maybe repeat an insight or two, as a treat

I revisited my "Trees Hate You" project. I'm just continuing to come up with new ways to get bullied by foliage. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #ragegame

This Smash Hits poll top 10 for 1988’s Most Very Horrible Thing is amazing.

Making a Serious Eats version of beef stew, so you know it's gonna be a whole thing

Sometimes I think about how there's a real video game called "Garfield: The Lost Levels". A title with a grim power to it

Drinking boddingtons like a bloody lad

Completed the original Hollow Knight, only 8 years late. That's a good game!

at a stage of novel drafting I call Checking The Plates because in my first novel I made a mistake in an early chapter about who was holding a plate and it cost us months of edits as we moved the plate around, always causing more problems than it fixed, so now I check for plates
