Going to attempt something very stupid and listen to all 67 winners of Album of the Year at the Grammy Awards and then rank them from worst to best.
Most are albums I’ve at least heard once but some I’ve never gone near, so might document the highlights in a massive thread.

Been in Ireland for literally minutes and have discovered that they still air TV’s best quiz show ‘Who Dares Wins’ here.

9am commuting thoughts:
Sometimes I feel like the peak moment of my life would be performing a Paso Doble on Strictly to a ROSALÍA song.

Just booked an actual holiday after booking next week off months ago but never getting around to sorting it.
We are having a few days in Dublin so I need recommendations for two very boring people to do while we are there. 👋

Nobody bought me the hers and hers matching Wicked electric toothbrushes for my birthday so it’s actually been a waste of a day.

I’m 34 in half an hour.
I guess I’ve reached the stage of life where you leave birthday drinks at 10:30 and buy profiteroles on the way home.

Started a new GRAMMYs Ranking series. This time I’ve listened to all 67 Record of the Year winners. A list of ridiculously big hits.
It’s not quite popped off like the AOTY series, so any shares/favourites are appreciated. 🫡

Just made the fatal error at the supermarket of picking up a dessert, main and two sides instead of a starter in the Meal Deal for Two. Didn’t realise until I got home. 😩

I’m about to film another GRAMMYs ranking series. This time all 67 winners of Record of the Year. A much less impressive task when you realise my playlist of them all is only 4 hours long.

Started playing Death Stranding 2 via the PS+ game trial. 5 hours free means you get through the entire intro and some of the ‘main’ game too.
Loving it so far.

Random delirious thought while downing Lemsip on a Saturday night.
If they don’t book Shirley Ballas to do the next series of Celebrity Traitors then what are they doing? #Strictly

Seeing Little Simz headline her first ever arena show tonight. Literally a decade since I first heard her and I’d argue she’s potentially the best artist of that decade. So excited.

Completed Metal Gear Solid Delta tonight and while I enjoyed seeing some of my favourite moments from the MGS series in better graphics than ever, as a ‘remake’ it left me wondering why it exists at all.
