The Lion King
Watched The Lion King earlier. Ben started getting annoyed towards the end “but when is the Lion Guard coming onnnn!!” 🙄 I still remember 90% of the songs and dialogue. Unsure if it’s too Disney film but it’s top five for sure. Others are Aladdin, The Mighty Ducks, Jungle Book, the Aristocats. Not counting newer…

Timehop – Underground
Timehop really does hit you sometimes with some memories. Today it was that time I got so drunk at Underground I blacked out and I ended up literally hugging the snow. That wasn’t fun.

Tracking TV Watching – an update
Thanks to my friend & coworker Bryan, he let me know in a comment on my previous post, what I’m looking for is Trakt.tv. I had read through Jer’s post 2018 in TV Shows and thought it was wonderful – even using the “small” screen and WordPress.com Reader interface rather than a direct blog post. In…

Luther, & tracking TV watching
Just started watching the new series of Luther. Pretty intense stuff but I love it. It reminded me that I don’t know of an elegant solution to track this sort of thing, any tips? I mentioned before that I’m going to use Goodreads for books and Letterboxd for movies but I don’t have a solution…

See ya 2018
74 (75 when this is published) blog posts. Not as much as I thought but I hope to keep up a post a day, now I’ve backdated the past two weeks. ✌🏻 [Edit – I’m going to collate some great posts by friends and others which I read and are better year round ups than…

Read the ‘structions!
My papa had a great phrase while we were growing up “Read the ‘structions!”, mainly about LEGO, to read the details to get everything in order and built. Overall, it is a very versatile phrase and even now I wish people would read documentation more. Tonight I built the Playmobil Ghostbusters House with a little…

Music of 2018
As the years go on, my list of “albums of the year” has become worse. But this year I have noted some great music that I’ve kept going back to. There are probably more but I don’t focus on release date anymore (as the final entry will testify) MxPx came out with their self-titled: …

This Is Going To Hurt
I’ve known about this book from when it was published but mainly due to the fact that I rarely (if ever) read books, it took me until getting it for Christmas this year to read it. No idea how it took me this long to read it but I've just finished it. Now I understand…

Toothless’ audition
Since the first movie was announced, I’ve loved How To Train Your Dragon. Seeing Kit Harington and Toothless in their “lost audition tape” is amazing. Attention Vikings! Kit Harington and Toothless’ long-lost audition tapes have been found. Watch now. #HowToTrainYourDragon pic.twitter.com/XEnUjK4EfL — DreamWorks Animation (@Dreamworks) December 13, 2018 Over eight years since I saw the…

XS
Today is momentous. I got a new phone. Not just meeting me but NEW. Context – I’ve smashed at least four phones, and lost one (which was later smashed) so I’ve taken Zara’s when she upgraded. She’s keeping her X so I got to get a new phone. Today I took delivery of the XS.…
