Turns out I was interviewed by ITV news yesterday for the telly.

I had no idea until now it even made the cut.

I look forward to watching this (and my alleged cameo ive been told about!).

Glad I overcame the shyness to speak to you and your signature fringe. You are even lovelier in real life than you are on Yt and great to finally meet you :-D

Apparently I make a cameo appearance in this (I haven't watched this yet), as pointed out by others.

In real life Jen is just the same as they are on video, but even lovelier. Plus, their signature fringe is 100% awesome.

Normal radio silence will now resume

the 35 / 50 are reliable but the train might make a change from it

Its a lot nicer than the 50. Plus, if you get the journey between Kings Norton to KH towards new Street you get a STUNNING view of the city if you look left out of the window

I've not seen it yet, but it would be. I was at the doors when JOTM arrived at Moseley Village, as well as briefly chatting to Jen a bit later on.

Jen is lovely and absolutely the same in real life - if not even nicer - than she is on YT.

The international league of Grahams is more a sort of loose knit thing than any , y'know, formal organisation ;-)

And its goodnight from me

Ouch. personal attack much?

The Jetsons lied to us

the bit where Mark Walberg apologies to a houseplant is just INCREDIBLE.

There was a brilliant essay (since disappeared) on DenofGeek about how Shyamalan used the Happening as an anti-movie to deconstruct genre and it is such a shame I can't find it.

I've been far too verbose on here with my unfiltered babbling. I might try to tone it down a bit and get less distracted by the internet x

of reality, but a representation of the often comforting fictions people build around themselves and their own lives .

The stories we tell about ourselves can be all too tempting to those who don't want to face the reality of their own lives, but instead the self-deceptions.

def applies to JKR

Thinking about the latest Caelan Conrad video wher Caelan describes some of JKR's work as "Fan fiction about herself" which is a very strong statement - but fascinating because many people write fan fiction about themselves. Where they create their public identity as not necessarily a representation

13.2 not 14%. oops.

NYTimes headline - florida democrats win special election in mar-ALago District

nteresting politics news ;

The district which contains mar-a-lago voted +11% for trump in 2024. Tonight it flipped to the democrats. they won by 2.2%. which is a 14% flip.

Whatever VFX houses they are, they are probably getting paid not enough money to cover their costs and losing money on it ; just like Rhythm & Hues Studios on Life of Pi.

And not getting paid anywhere near enough to burn their reputations down to the ground.

Good lord. it's REAL.

No, it really is.

the invocation of "pity" indicates some sort of emotional response but

no, i got nothing.

it makes Milton keynes look interesting

I've spent a fair bit of time in Pbro, because about 10 years ago I spent a lot of time changing trains there when dating someone who lived in Godmanchester.

Its not somewhere I've ever desired to return to for a single microsecond since.

Nice cathedral. Shit town.

did you hear about the author who wrote a book about having sex with traffic restricting street furniture?

J.G. BOLLARD!

I think it’s a cry for help. Has anyone checked in?
