What I post from

By the time #GTA5 re-downloads and installs on my Xbox, #GTA6 will be released.

So I decided to open a can of Monster at 23:00. I really am my own worst enemy...

Today's #HaloInfinite fun! If you manage all 19+ minutes, then you win! I don't know what you win, but you definitely win it! #Halo #CasualGaming

My mouth has been consistently on fire for four days, but I just can't stop eating these things! So good!

You know it was a good #HaloInfinite session when you've taken 104 captures! 🫣

Putting "Black Christmas" (2006) in my Watched List on #Letterboxd feels as wrong as putting the water in before the teabag...

During my band days, back in 2007, when I wasn't fat and still had energy 😅 This was a warm-up from a mini gig we did at my bandmates Halloween Party. We did a full gig of Halloween favourites in full costume. And yes, we did a punk version of the "Monster Mash".

In a former life (2007-2013), I moved from shooting landscape and portrait #photography and into live music. I had just left a band during a minor live music resurgence in my hometown that we all referred to as "The Scene", as I wanted to focus on promoting the bands. I seriously miss those years!

Anyone in the UK 🇬🇧 using #Fairphone with #Murena #/e/os? Im considering the Fairphone 6, have already mostly degoogled my life on my current Samsung, using majority open source apps now, but main concern with ditching Android for good is mainstream app availability in the UK, specifically banking.

I woke up today at 17:00. I had no idea why my alarm was going off, where I was, or even who I was. It took a good 2-3 minutes for me to fully realise what was going on and that I have work tonight. Very weird feeling, though, not actually knowing who I was for a good minute.

Name another job where you can go from locking gates, offices, and teaching spaces, to dealing with an aggressive naked male, high on unknown substances, built like a veritable NFL brick shithouse, and who is ranting about being a Reptilian Alien, among other things. I'll wait.

I forgot how much I love "Linchpin" by Fear Factory. Not so much Industrial Metal, more like an entire fucking munitions factory 🤘🏻

I often wish I was 20 again and didn't believe that mid-life crisis were an actual thing, rather than be in the murky depths of a full blown mid-life crisis wishing I was 20 again and didnt believe that mid-life crisis were actually a thing.

Just a friendly reminder that tonight is #Krampusnacht! Good luck to my fellow naughty boys and girls out there 😈

It seems every music streaming service is jumping on the Spotify bandwagon this year with annual listening round-ups, so I'm also jumping on the bandwagon and sharing my #AmazonMusicDelivered. Also, dont use #Spotify unless you support ICE. Amazon isn't much better granted, but I'm working on it.

I honestly wish I hadn't bothered with X-files Seasons 10 and 11, but the completionist in me compels me to watch them.

I need to change my profile pic because I suspect the whole "gun thing" puts people off interacting with me. But I'm famously nonphotogenic, and my current profile pic is literally my favourite current photo of myself. Can I borrow someone's face for a bit? I "promise" I'll return it in good nick.

Today's Halo fun! #Halo #HaloInfinite #CasualGaming

I'm trying to download a decent Word Processor for my #iPad, but because it's a 6th Gen model, it's too out of date for iOS18 so I can't get #MicrosoftWord, and I'm not finding many helpful options online. Any suggestions are appreciated. I'm looking for something as close to Word as possible.

One foot in the closet, one foot in the grave.

And this concludes this mornings pre-work BlueSky musings. We hope you have enjoyed Boomstick Flip's banal world and life observations and hope to see you again this afternoon when Flip will undoubtedly have even more "definitely very interesting" things to say about stuff.

I find it weird that comedy films are often advertised as "Laugh out Loud funny!" when this is rarely the case. Therefore, I'm campaigning for more accurate advertising such as "You'll be occasionally huffing out of your nose and half smiling right to the end!" I'll be taking this to Parliament.

Last year, despite having a TV Licence, I tried an experiment and unplugged our TV from the aerial. In that year, we didn't plug it back in once, and in fact, my partner didn't even realise I had unplugged it. So that'll be a no from us this year for a TV Licence (and yes, I'll be doing it legally)

Post your favourite "Lord of the Rings" character. Wrong answers only.

Renewed Netflix to watch the last Stranger Things season, and discovered Season 17 of Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and Season 3 of Alice in Borderland are both also available now! And honestly, if you enjoyed Squid Games, or hell, even if you didn't, watch Alice in Borderland!

I don't really do Xmas, but my #HaloInfinite teammates decided we need to get in the Xmas spirit because there's nothing more intimidating than three Spartans in Santa hats 🎅🏻

Imigran and Panadol Extra. I challenge you to find a finer way to start the day. #ClusterHeadaches #ClusterFuck #ChronicPain #Hashtag #AnotherHashtag

This was 79 minutes longer than it needed to be...

#NowWatching: "The Hem" (2025) on #AmazonPrime #Horror #HorrorSky #FoundFootage

I don't know if this is of any use to anyone, but I wanted to share it because it's definitely helping me. I've been following this "Zero Out Rule" for just over 2 months and have managed to passively put aside almost £300. It's not a scam or anything, just a simple way to help save money.

My partner ordered a #McDonalds Frozen Grinch Lemonade yesterday evening from their Xmas menu. This thing was like drinking battery acid. Neither of us finished it in the end. It's really not good, and not in a meme-y "I dare you to try it" way, but as in it's just bad, so dont waste your money.

Pay day!

#NowWatching: "Boy Kills World" (2023) on #AmazonPrime #Action #Comedy

I love how some people hate on the #horror genre because "ghosts and monsters don't actually exist, y'know" Yes, you're right Marjorie, they don't, but neither does fucking Gandalf or Frodo, and you know Robert Downey Jr. isnt actually Iron Man right? It's called suspension of disbelief.

Pay day can't come soon enough this month. Im down to paying people with I.O.U's, Moths wings, and pebbles... 🫣

Probably some of my sloppiest gameplay yet. #Halo #HaloInfinite #CasualGaming

There's 25 Pop Culture Reference Points for the first person who gets this one...

Today's #HaloInfinite fun. #Halo #CasualGaming

It's only taken several years, and also resisting the urge to spend Spartan Points on other random junk for about a month, but I finally unlocked the Ghost of Reach helmet 🤩 #HaloInfinite #Halo

My most favourite part of the Christmas season is the sudden and relentless influx of celebrities appearing in pretentious as fuck fragrance ads telling us to buy expensive bottles of smell water when most of us can barely afford food. My favourite so far is Emma Watsons' "film" for Prada Paradoxe.

This time yesterday, it was -1.5°C, today its 8°C. British weather, amirite?

My car said it was -1.5°C when I drove home at 02:30 this morning, so it was a good thing I took a suitably warm jacket and gloves to work. Is what I would be saying if I had taken a suitably warm jacket and gloves to work 🥶 It's a good thing my car has heated seats and a heated steering wheel.

A murderer, finding out they weren't invited to their victim's funeral: ...wouldn't have even had a funeral if it wasn't for me

My last video was the Ourang Medan, and mostly debunking it. But it's haunted me ever since I started work on the video. It's such a fascinating story, mostly for the history surrounding it and the theories. I'd love to write a book on it. But how do people even write books!? So many words... 😵‍💫

I have to apologise for my "#NowWatching" heavy posts lately. I've been watching a lot of movies, whilst also having very few interesting things to say 😅

This is also as close as you'll get to a "feet pic" from me. Although I'd be willing to send a photo of my big toe to the first Sugar Daddy/Mummy that pays off my £150k mortgage. Don't act like you're not tempted...
