I'm here for dad jokes, TV chat, a little politics, food envy, and a lot of cat spotting. DMs open.

How are we all dealing with the Sunday scaries?

Even though I went back to work on Friday, the post-Christmas scaries are hitting hard today.

Canada's Drag Race making reading off cue cards more difficult by spelling some of the words wrong 🙄.

-7c out there this morning. I think I'll be staying right where I am (under a blanket).

I'd make such a bad Faithful on #TheTraitors.

*we've just banished a traitor*
Me: "oh, that's nice."

Easily my most childish habit is replacing words in songs to make them about flatulence. For example, a Jess Glynn song you may have heard:

Darling, smell my farts
Oh, won’t you smell my farts?
’Cause I don’t wanna fart on my own anymore
Won’t you understand?
’Cause I don’t wanna fart alone

Do you have to have extra McDonald's or is a normal portion OK?
If I happen to spot a cock-up on signs I *will* document it, even if you fix it...

I tried to get a photo of just how sparkly the ice, frost and thin layer of snow on our roof looked in the moonlight.

(That's not the sunrise in the distance - those are the bright lights of Didcot Parkway.)

Introduce yourself as what almost killed you:

Hello, I’m the driver going too fast for a bend causing me to leave the road, missing teenage Scott and his friend by a few feet.
Introduce yourself as what almost killed you:

Hello, I’m the unseen tram, the drunk driver, the concrete on the other side of the wall, the arrow, the electric shock, the severe illness, the black ice, the psychotic ex, and middle aged ennui.
Introduce yourself as what almost killed you:

Hello, I’m streptococcus bacteria sitting on your previously undiagnosed bicuspid aortic heart valves. Planning on doing any breathing.

And I’m still the reason you’re sitting in a hospital right now.

I don't think I can bring myself to press the button...

I've just been reminded of this and giggled solidly for over a minute.

Favourite TV moment of 2026 so far: a contestant's suitcase slowly rolling out of shot on the #TheTraitors.
January 1, 2026 at 8:38 PM
I'm alright with that.
January 1, 2026 at 6:39 PM
I'm a fan of The Traitors but it feels like too soon after the Celebrity season for another.

When I realised it's starting tonight my reaction was "oh, I suppose I'll watch that then..."

Happy New Year

May not be surreal, but a memorable one had transparent glass in the cubicle doors that presumably was meant to turn opaque when locked. Except it wasn't fully working and instead just dimmed...

New year, new me.

(My body has replaced about 90 trillion cells since this time last year so you can argue I'm fundamentally a different person than I was.)

We watched the new Knives Out film this evening. I'm not sure, but I think it might have had some kind of subtext outside of the whole murder mystery thing?

How about a new year's eve special round of "What's in my glass?"

(Difficulty: easy)

The wife thinks it’s easier to follow my new year’s resolution because I’m dyslexic..

but we all know how difficult a no-crab diet can be!

I don't really do reflection or retrospection - the other half says it's one of my most notable characteristics. It makes it hard for me to relate to people's comments about "2025 was a great year" or "it was a challenge but I'm proud" etc.

This makes me sad. Of course, I've not watched a channel like this in 15+ years, but still...
I’ve spent this morning morbidly watching the MTV channels close down and the final songs played were:
MTV Music - Video Killed the Radio Star (Buggles)
Club MTV - Don’t Stop the Music (Rihanna)
MTV 90s - Goodbye (Spice Girls)
MTV 80s - Together in Electric Dreams (Oakey and Moroder)

We've just started watching Severance. I'm pretty sure Adam Scott must have given his barber a photo of me ca. 2010.

I settled on a new life goal recently: to try to have the longest year possible.

Start a leap year in somewhere like Samoa and finish it in somewhere like Hawaii, so I have a 377-day-long year.

Or vice versa I suppose, in a regular year, to have the shortest year possible.
