The second of my three picks from the 1993 Festive Fifty. If only Dave Grohl had stuck to doing stuff like this.

Awake half the night due to sleeping on the couch and being intermittently awoken by poor Lucy coughing and/or spewing. And then one of the bastard dogs rolls in fox shit on their walk.
Good morning, everyone.

Sitting in my little room listening to my poorly missus coughing away and thinking how the fuck am I going to sleep tonight with that bloody racket.

The first of my three picks from the 1992 Festive Fifty is probably my favourite Pavement song, and I really, really like Pavement.

Polly's brother is three on Wednesday, here's their joint birthday cake. And they say AI isn't a force for good.

Three out of four of the grandchildren have birthdays in the next eight days. The other one's birthday was about three weeks ago. I'm using this as a rehearsal for Christmas.

Six years ago the OG (original grandchild) came into our lives and made everything better. Most of the time. Happy birthday, Polly.

Watching Star Wars and just spent a rabbit-holey 15 minutes on the internet after being confused by Luke saying "garbage mashers" when I was sure for the past 40-odd years that it was "trash compactors". Seems I'm late to this particular Mandela Effect.

The 1991 Festive Fifty is a bit meh, but at least it does have the greatest song ever recorded.
Which is Good Morning, Captain by Slint, if you're a bit slow on the uptake. youtu.be/CuqEpjcBfaU?...

#90sTop30 Finishing off 1990 with #14 in that year's Festive 50. Should have been at least #7. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQUh...

Due to work, this is the time of year I'm at my most confused as to what day it is. For instance today is the second Wednesday shift of the week, neither of which have been on Wednesday.
