Today I bought a bottle of lemonade so carbonated that it is painful to drink.
The world is presenting me new and innovative reasons to randomly drink alcohol at home on a Monday night.

Between watching pre 2000 Pro Tour matches, and reading @rebell.bsky.social’s year end review, I’m all the more jazzed to own a lot of old Pro Tour/World Championship decks to play against one another.
Going forward I’m going to aim to have 4 with me at events, for battling on the fly.

Goals for 2026
1. Make more money than I did in 2025. It sounds mercenary/bad, but being essentially broke all year hampered doing much of anything.
2. Look after myself better. Eat better. Exercise. Take time to enjoy things.
3. Consume less, create more.
4. Stay in touch with friends better.

I have the most straightforward routine for new profile pics. They basically only happen when I get a haircut from my favourite barbers in London.
New profile pic coming later today.

I spent a whole Bush gig stood directly behind a cute short girl with pink hair who was loving the show.
2 songs before the end someone shouted ‘Hey Gwen!’ and she turned around. Yes folks, it was Gwen Stefani.

As someone who believes that painlands and tapped duals are pretty much the pinnacle of well balanced mana fixing, I should really play more pre-modern.

Really hope that the Gävle Goat’s defeat this Christmas is a portent for a great 2026.
I feel like I’m due a year that feels ‘better than last year’.

Wake Up Dead Man leaves me with that warm feeling I had in the early days of Marvel movies (e.g. Winter Soldier/GotG) where there was the world of potential of movies that didn’t have to be wholly defined by genre expectations.
It’s a good murder mystery, but a great film.

Heading out guitar shopping with my dad (for him not for me).
Neither of us *needs* a guitar, but sometimes taking them for a test drive is kind of the whole point.

When there were only four or five channels, Christmas TV was a real competition for eyeballs, and there were some proper gems on to suit a lot of tastes.
Now, back home visiting the folks, there is legitimately nothing I’m that fussed about watching.

Sky Atlantic choosing to show all 8 seasons of Game of Thrones back to back, rather than letting me catch up on their new show Amadeus, seems wiiiild.
2 reruns of GoT tonight, then from 4pm Sunday to early Weds morning, followed by 2 seasons House of the Dragon, then… 5 eps of Game of Thrones…

2026 might be the year that I make a point of using the word 'za' to describe pizza, such that I don't feel as guilty about using it in Scrabble.

A) Great - easily legible, nice to look at
B) Functional - not a challenge to read, but not notable to look at
C) Fugly and tricky to read without a warmup
D) Illegible scrawl, only legible (presumably) to the writer

I would be such a terrible catch for someone looking to marry for flashy wealth.
In addition to simply not having a lot of money, I have a gigantic speech ready to go about why diamonds are not the way, and zircon is a scientific wonder.

@bdm.bsky.social is American parmesan functionally the same as parmigiano reggiano? Looking at chicken parm recipes, and the amount of parm in them seems… a lot.

I think tomorrow I might aim at having a 1996 day. My phone doesn't seem to be charging, my wifi isn't working, time to lean into it, read some books and pay with cash for things.

My iPhone updated with the ‘liquid glass’ thing, and it is such a strict downgrade on accessibility, which I cannot find a way of turning off.
Was this update just people at Apple being bored and wanting to mess with people?
