All Creatures Great and Small, series 5 Christmas special - oh my did I cry. I'm also still upset that Richard Carmody left without a send off!

You can also tell just how much the cast love little Jimmy and how much he clearly loves them back.

All Creatures Great and Small, series 5 - yes, I am that behind, and I may have cried more than once. This series always makes me warm and fuzzy inside. We really do need more wholesomeness and decency in the world.

Sometimes a photo of infrastructure is not just utilitarian, very rarely it’s an example of a perfect aesthetic composition. The more you look, the more you see & the more aesthetically balanced it becomes. Red indicator - green bridge; gray closet - gray fence - gray roof etc. The photo…

THE MAGIC SWORD

This fantasy film's plotline may be a little bit cliche, but it was still a pretty great, campy medieval watch for me. It's full of fun moments that include a magic sword, lots of sorcery, red lighting, resurrected knights and lastly, a dragon.

Around 2010 I wrote the plot for an adventure game called Erased Citizen.
It was set in 2048, where the USA had annexed the entire American continent and was fighting Europe over some territories.
It was meant as a what-if, not a prediction 💀

writing books is so cool bc it means you get to research stuff like: What types of moss were particularly common in cave systems in northern Europe around the turn of the 20th century?

yeah no, that's not relevant to the plot but I casually mention the color of the moss once so I gotta get it right
