Got my Favourite First Watches of 2024 list together. Managed 110 movies this year!
I think the only 5* I gave was to Mulholland Drive - after that, just a lot 4*s and other stuff I enjoyed for one thing or another 🙂

The amount of AI promotional advertisements I’m seeing these days is getting irritating. Nothing new to say as such, and it’s targeted advertising to a degree, but it’s the absolute drivel that is being wheeled out that is a total wind-up.
I’m no expert. Still. Ahhhhhhhh

Pleased to share that I’ve obtained my ‘Professional Data Engineer’ certification from Google Cloud!
I’ve been quiet in the audio world since around July, pivoting to focus on this, so I’m pleased it’s done!
Back to audio works soon, I think :)

I’ve been studying for an upcoming Data Engineer exam. It’s been a long journey but I’m laughing because I’m rehearsing mock exams, and when I get answers right I say “fucking hell” to myself, as if I’m surprised that my revision is paying off

Finished a re-watch of Park Chan-Wook’s ‘Decision to Leave’ and already looking forward to watching it again soon.
I also watched the VFX reel in its extras, really cool to see some of the work go in! :)

Oh. I wanted to share this for fellow Horror/Sci-fi fans:
It’s a short called FROM BEYOND (not tied to the movie of the same name), a look at the beginnings of an alien invasion(?).
Looks gorgeous, sounds wonderful. Love this!!

Hey folks, hope we’re all dandy!
I’ve now wrapped my part on a recent audio project (woo!), so after a few months of being ‘constantly on’, I’m pleased to have some breathing space in my evenings, for a while 🙂
Taking a short break. Treated myself to a new deck - how gorgeous is this graphic?
