If someone gave me a Leica M I would sell it to someone who could bother women about it and use that money to buy every camera and lens I’ve ever wanted

Indeed thou made me an April fool when thy faked a hair transplant, claimed Seth Rogen had sworn off the weed and that Michael Sheen was not Welsh but Milton Keynes borne. Thou made sport of my trust, my faith in thee. Now it is YOU who is the fool (also I was gonna do the Seth Rogen one ffs)

Starting my birthday off with waffles and Wrestlemania.

I was out at a fancy restaurant dinner for my birthday with my friend @euchrid.bsky.social and there was a moment where we each pulled out the Game Boy-esque emulator console we had bought independent of the other to compare games and I guess this is our lives now

I am immortal I have inside me blood of kings I have no rival

My birthday is tomorrow and I swear to god if you buggers have done a The Game to me after I specifically said not to

Sometimes a game shows you a screen and you’re like… hey. Ow. That wasn’t necessary.

I’ve always been confused by the continued popularity and usage of the pig Latin “ixnay”, considering i had never in my life heard someone say “nix” outside of movies set in the 50s or before. But then, “ixnay” was mostly used in cartoons, which are always making reference to old stuff. Hmm.

Haircut and pub lunch got me feeling revitalized

going up to couples like “which of you is the Pepsi and which is the Shirlie”

Inside of you there are two wolves

The problem with trying out a new recipe is that sometimes you have some and you go “this is fine, not great, if extremely flavourful” and because of the serving size, you have enough leftover to feed an army. In a completely unrelated note, I have a massive Tupperware of chicken mole in my fridge.

Kids these Days: “The Nineties were so repressive and -phobic.” The Nineties:

Has anyone ever cut together the possession bits from the babadook with a snickers commercial with the “you’re not yourself when you’re hungry” tagline

What if instead of relaxing while Kimiko took Hiro to a Sydney FC game with a friend, I smoke 2 racks of pork ribs & one of beef ribs & do jacket potatoes in mushroom cream sauce & also meal prep a veggie stir fry with brown rice for the leftover ribs & also a pear tart I’m sure it’ll be fine

Clearly I am getting old because I was talking to a friend about where we could go for my birthday dinner that was as good as the place we went to last year and after a bit of dithering the result was “let’s just go back there”

Oh my god…. I have just had a flashback to a thing I had erased from my memory Remember HQ trivia Like everyone would log on and do it and some people won money and I would always get knocked out juuuuuuust before I’d win something?

Nodding sagely when I open up a Wolverine comic and he's buck naked running with the dawgs and inner monologuing about the beast within. An X-Man has to come get him or Alpha Flight's "naked man in the woods" alarm will go off and they'll come arrest him for public indecency.

I’m watching Night & the City (1992) where De Niro is a shady lawyer who gets into boxing promotion and like it but I looked up the 1950 original and now I’m mad I could have had a movie about Robert De Niro, shady 90s east coast pro wrestling promoter. Rob E. DeNangerously? No, that’s nothing.

Braised a beef short rib in stock and red wine for four hours, then thickened the leftover sauce, mixed the meat back in and had it over baked potatoes. I’m so full I may fall asleep.

"We haven't forgotten you" Seen in Québec city

It still amazes me that of all songs, “Shake a Tailfeather” by Ray Charles from the Blues Brothers still gets prolific radio play to this day in Australia.

I am making up wedding traditions like “if there’s one roll left in the basket, it’s good luck if you pelt it at the groom. Go on, wait til he’s not looking.”

Two bush turkeys decided to crash the wedding, mid-vows. Incredible.

Turns out I picked one that barely needed tailoring! And it looks good!

If you want to know what it’s like living with me I paused the latest Monarch: Legacy of Monsters to admire the reverse flourish on the capital L that Keiko puts on Lee’s letter

Getting through the morning by staring at the Australia post tracking page as some books I found in a lending library in Sydney and have sent to my friend in rural Victoria for her kid inch closed and closer to being delivered

Nothing like waiting a week to get your refill prescription to remind you that yes your blood pressure meds are in fact doing something and that reminder is sleeping terribly and feeling like hammered shit all week

One of Kimiko’s second cousins is getting married next weekend and I may have just bought a light blue linen suit on deep discount

Now that I’ve been medicated, it’s interesting to step outside myself & observe behaviours like, when my job is overwhelming & out of control, I go on organizing jags: mowing the lawn, donating old records & books & clothes, rearranging cabinets… anything to assert agency & control & structure.

turns out it's man

I didn't make this, but it needs a reposting.

The horrors continue but also a new reaction image from a tiktok video just dropped

I would like to put forth a particular version of heaven: a big sprite, a second hand book, and a basket of pub chips as big as your face.

The nice thing about having a Fiio Echo mini mp3 player is that it can’t judge me for how many times i have to play “Feed The Animals” by Girl Talk to get through my day

Supporter sketch request reward! This person asked for JoJo's Choice, and I felt like drawing something roma-a-a-a-antic for February, so here's a sketch of Rogue and Gambit! <3

Supporter sketch request! I was asked to draw Catherine O'Hara in my favorite of her roles. I decided that I had to draw Delia Deetz, from "Beetlejuice", because I've long held that this is one of the most personally relatable characters in all of fiction.

Supporter sketch request! This person asked me to draw such a thing as a jukebox gremlin, a little creature who is responsible for getting songs stuck in your head!

Supporter sketch request reward! This person asked for a sketch of anything from the new Muppet Show revival special with very special guest star Sabrina Carpenter. Well, I liked the special and I thought that every moment with Miss Carpenter was absolutely perfect. ^_^

Help, I am watching the John Candy doco and I know it’s gonna mess me up. There’s a bit where he’s being interviewed by a lady who keeps asking if he would be happier if he wasn’t fat & you see the question hurt him & I want to jump through the screen & tell her to fuck off.

The cheapest raisin bread, toasted, with bargain basement spreadable butter. God tier.

I bought a spiral notepad that turned out to be a sketchpad so textured that even my most heavy-inking fountain pens struggle to maintain a line. Then it hit me: do you know what I have lots of, but barely use? Pencils.

Tired: So Fresh, Big Shiny Tunes, Hottest 100, Now That’s What I Call Music Wired:

I thought I was making a pact with a patron, but it turns out I made one with Patreon and now I'm a warelock

watching Dazed and Confused, brings me no joy to note we're now at 2009 on the When Would This Be Set If You Made It Now-O-Meter, meaning the characters would all be younger than me, probably including McConaughey

Just getting ahead of things in the lead up to my 44th birthday, I just want it known that you guys are not allowed to do The Game to me Oh my god, you guys better not do a The Game to me I would be so mad if you guys did a The Game to me
