I do stuff with computers and like loud music. Talk a lot about politics especially when #vinb is on. Also @astarmain@mastodon.ie and @astarmain on the fail whale.
This is what happens when your kids use your phone in the car. First time in a while neither Taylor Swift nor JS Bach made the list.

For a bunch of lads well into their 70s, these boys know how to rock. Dallas 1pm and Princess of the Night the highlights, but bangers from start to finish. Saxon should have been as big as Maiden, but the upside is you get to see them in nice cozy venues.

We had a lull in trick or treaters coming up to 7, but back in full swing again. Still plenty of supplies left. And Sprog the Elder's double decker pumpkin is getting lots of praise.

Democratic duty done. The register is such a mess though. 5 polling cards for people who haven't lived here for 8 years. That's despite me sending them back to the council a few years ago.

Good night in the Academy with Primordial. No Road Crew or Slaves, but Enoch Powell makes up for it.

Poor old Pumpkin back in the cone of shame. He's half the dog he was this morning so feeling very sorry for himself.

The meeting was advertised as an FF event with Shay Brennan. Here's the poster still up in Dundrum this morning. Over half the poster branding for FF, most of the rest of the text with time and location. The smallest font says Healy will be there.

I love being way out west in Kerry, but I do not like the 5.5 hours it takes to drive back home.

You bring the teenager to the beach and she immediately reverts to childhood activities. Great to see she's not all grown up yet.

Did not disappoint. Brought back a feeling of being 18 and care free again. Alice, Perseverance and What Makes You Tick the highlights. Nice to call out the anti trans bullshit before Josephine.

Think tonight might be the longest I've gone between a band's gigs. 31 years I think since I last saw Terrorvision. Don't remember any show since Sunstroke in Dalymount.

As if a robot would ever want to renew a TV Licence. Pretty sure that's against Asimov's 2nd law or something.
