I write sometimes. But mostly I just read books and listen to music.
This is the coolest thing I've been given in a while. GRMA to mad Stian.

Every now and then, I rewatch Frankenhooker and everything seems right in my world. What a joyous mess.

Now? Thunderstorms.

Had a grand total of 20 minutes in Derry earlier this month. Which meant no pubs, no walking and no Derry Girls experience. Raging.

Turnpike Troubadours in Manchester last month. Frighteningly good. Also had wonderful company in the form of a couple from Louisiana who had seen the band more than a dozen times (this was my first time...)

170 mile round trip for a job interview yesterday. Went fine, but the best bit was the drive.

Sunshine, hailstones, heavy rain...all with kick-ass tunes blasting from the car stereo. Hell yeah.

Coming to the realisation that I get light-headed if I talk for more than 20 or so minutes at a time.

...which sounds like a perfect justification for mid-presentation eating.

Been busy these past few months.

Writing? No, but I have a pen and paper now. Pretty much Hemingway already, I'd say...

Turns out that Guinness 0.0 causes excessive flatulence in much the same way as its alcoholic counterpart.

An increase in beans in the diet, while enjoyable, hasn't helped matters.

Well, I got what I wanted...and it was horrible. 2024 can jam a fork up its peener and twist.

Bluesky is strangely informative. In the past few days, without trying to, I've become an expert on some weird hip hop beef.

Forgot how nice it feels to be reading a book as Cohen's "Hallelujah" plays. That was a peaceful few minutes that I needed more than I knew.
