Just read Roadside Picnic. It took longer than expected. But I loved it.

My local movie theatre was screening Akira. Got to see it on the big screen. It was awesome!

Seeing a lot of cyberdecks online these days. Thinking about making one.

Watched this series, The Copenhagen Test with Simu Liu. It’s an 8 episode thriller that's kinda sci-fi adjacent.

If I woke up on a spaceship, the first thing I'd do is make a pendulum.
When I read the book of Project Hail Mary I was like "I bet he's going to make a pendulum". Next page, he makes a pendulum.
I'm still mad that they cut that scene. Average people just don't get pendulums.

Thanks. I think that's it. That Daredevil is too close to reality. The Boys is more a satire. It’s like the difference between plagiarism and inspiration. Daredevil is lazy. The Boys is just a little cleverer.

The Boys does American politics well. But, this season of Daredevil doesn't. I can't exactly articulate why. Ask someone smarter than me.

I love messing with people that don't know science. Told one person that if you melt dry ice you can swim without getting wet. 🏊‍♂️

Random guy approached me in the street. He said "thank you for your service". I don’t know what that was about. I’m not in the army.

Sitting down to watch Maul. 10 minutes in and I'm already loving this.

Saw Project Hail Mary about two weeks ago. The people sitting behind me thought it was a Christian movie. They left after 45 minutes.

Watched those weeks Invincible. It was brutal. At the end I was like "No! Put those back!" 🫢

Damon Albarn is by far the best melodica player I have ever seen.

My all time favourite word is "kugelblitz". Have I ever used it in a sentence? No. Of course not.

Rem D. Koolhaas’s Lo Res Car looked as though it was designed to ram the shit out of Cybertrucks!

The reviews for Project Hail Mary are in. I seem to be the only person that didn't like it. Which is fine. Not everyone has to like the same things. I take pride in being the odd one out.
Find what makes you different and embrace it.

Made some progress with The Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson. I'm not in love with it, but it’s getting better.

If I Get High by Nothing But Thieves is a good song. But, a weird one to start this season of Invincible.

Just heard the new song by Muse. They used to be my favourite band. But not anymore.

Just back from Project Hail Mary. I am a little underwhelmed. Can't say I was impressed with it.

Going to see Project Hail Mary. Follow me on Letterboxd for the review.

Love the word "shenanigans". Wish people used it more.

Watched the last episode of One Piece season 2. I love how they do anime physics and wish more live action would try it.

It's Pi day. Dammit, I forgot to get pies 🥧

Watched two episodes of the new One Piece. It’s exactly the kind of nonsense I was in the mood for.

Letterboxd isn't working. I can't leave my 1.5 star review.

It was somehow worse than I expected 🤨

Against my better judgment, I'm watching Tron: Ares. The guy just did the Akira slide.

Just finished a re-watch of Cowboy Bebop. Still the best anime ever.

Reading The Lies of Locke Lamora. I tried years ago, and dnfed it. But, it’s the kind of book that I should like. So I'm giving it another go.
