We were all this cat in the sweltering heat this past weekend
Finished reading Leviathan Falls yesterday. Honestly feel a little sad to get to the end of the series, I’ve been reading these for a while. On the plus side, I can watch the TV show now.
I think the benefits of the Fediverse and in particular the concept of POSSE have clicked in the past few days. I’m going to dig into it some more and really try and work it out. One thing’s for sure - micro.blog is the best source …
Spent a few days in Dublin drinking copious amounts of the good stuff. The city feels quite similar to home at times, and at others it’ll feel very much like Europe. Won’t be the last time I’m here!
Just been for a very cold dip in the Irish Sea t.co/3GRs8frNk…
Movie Log 🍿: Jaws, 1975 - ★★★★★
That zoom onto Scheider when he realises it’s a shark is perfection. Everything about this is perfection
Movie Log 🍿: Red Eye, 2005 - ★★★
Under 90 mins ✅
Scarf around a wound so you don’t have to pay for special effects ✅
Presumably funded by an obsolete technology company ✅
This film has it all
Movie Log 🍿: Chalet Girl, 2011 - ★★
Sega will redesign half of Crazy Taxi to take out a Pizza Hut and these guys won’t even dub a new song over Lostprophets?
Drank a really enjoyable few pints of this after work yesterday. I’m going to pretend that I could tell the ‘oak cask difference’ 🍺
The camera on the iPhone 15 Pro is outstanding. Snapped this outside the pub last night
Movie Log 🍿: Erin Brockovich, 2000 - ★★★★
You throw a shot driving through the desert in a movie and I’m going to stay invested. This film rocked
Movie Log 🍿: The Day After Tomorrow, 2004 - ★★★
I remember the CGI looking an awful lot better than this
Another weekend well spent in the French Alps. Have my legs ever been this tired?
I’ve only gone and cracked it. an IFTTT-free solution for getting new reviews from my Letterboxd account onto my blog. Could be the start of something good 👍🏻
Movie Log 🍿: Dune: Part Two, 2024 - ★★★★
Well all that build up in the first film wasn’t for nothing. Watched in IMAX and was blown away by the soundscaping in this film
Nearing the end of a very draining week. I’ve got some good progress on my IFTTT replacement to try and finish this weekend. Hoping I may be able to turn it into something any micro.blog user can use
Hello World!
If everything goes well, then I’ve posted my first micro.blog post through a new app I’m building to avoid paying IFTTT money. I’ll shout a bit more about it when it’s closer to ready!
Seems IFTTT have made webhook applets a pro feature. Might be the kick I needed to create a mega-syndication app that will get everything I post elsewhere onto my blog for me
It’s a beautiful evening. I left work in daylight today! Summer might actually happen again
We’re building up to the time of year that Glastonbury announcements are made. Delving through my favourite artists’ tour dates in search of a gap
🍿 Movie Log: Shiva Baby, 2020 - ★★★★★
The balance of comedy and suspense here is just perfect. Marvellously made
🍿 Movie Log: Poor Things, 2023 - ★★★★
Gritty Barbie
Nearly a week since turning 30. Quite the party thrown, complete with harrowing bunting. Those faces keep popping up and haunting me!
🍿 Movie Log: Reprise, 2006 - ★★★
I can totally see this as related to The Worst Person In The World. It felt similarly made. An enjoyable watch
🍿 Movie Log: All of Us Strangers, 2023 - ★★★★½
Is this one of the truly saddest films of all time? Quite possibly. A swirling tale of loneliness. Brilliantly made.
