After a while of using a very sensible hi-fi subwoofer for my home theatre set up, i finally got the chunky gut rumbler sub back from being serviced.

Does it jiggle? Does it stink? 😤

(Bonus points if you recognise what my sound test movie of choice is)

I swear, if the tiddlers make it through the winter, I'm upgrading the water outlet hose and buying them a fancy waterfall.

Got my eye on this one where you can put pond plants in it for extra filtration and greenery 🌱👀

All my worrying and, a few warm days later, the fish are up and about.

The forecast is for a mild week and the water has been above the food cut-off point for a couple days now.

I hope it’s not a problem to give them something to eat 😅

Got it in my head I needed to get the rest of the fancy collectors sets of John Carpenter movies.

So, now the set is complete!
Each comes with the movie in 4K, HD, making of bonus disk, poster, postcards, production booklet and soundtrack CD.

Oh! And In the Mouth of Madness is here as well.

Alright. A photo with all five tiddlers.

You can see Sad/Sleepy in the centre, between Chocolate Brownie and Splodge. Just a tail sticking out of some undergrowth right at the bottom. 👀

Nice pick up today. 👀
A couple more movies and we’ll finally see the end of this wallet murdering UHD October

I usually have overall positive feelings about movies, even the scruffier ones.

But Spawn really tried my patience.

Pains me to say that, despite the great look and vibes, the film on the whole kinda sucks in a not enjoyable kind of way.

The CGI is awesome, though.

Today in “I swear I’m not bad to these fish. They’re just being quirky”

Why would a fish sit in the shallow end and stare at a wall?
I hope I don’t have to worry myself about depressed goldfish 😭

Proof that I’ve lost control of my life

Been a moment since I worried about the fish.

Need to get some advice on how to wind down the pond for autumn and winter. Online, it’s lots of vague advice. Like, expecting me to somehow intuitively know when to stop feeding the fish. 😩

Anyway, the view from my window, plus wagtails 🐦

It was almost imperceptible, the slow introduction of critically maligned 90s/00s blockbuster genre fare in to the Arrow catalog. Now they make up the bulk of new releases 👀

But, as I said about Clash of the Titans box set: put the rainbow on any movie and it becomes worthy of reassessment.

Bought some Criterion Collection movies. There’s more I want to get.

Been filled with the urge to become an insufferable cinephile.

Checking the new OG Fortnite pass and... gasp!

Sad he's wearing a vest, depriving us of abs. But I'm always up for taking a werewolf.
You heard me.

Was thinking about getting a commission. But then saw a fancy 4K version of Hackers for sale and… well…

Slowed down shakey footage. But that looks like a goldie babu to me.

There’s a few more hanging about, but they’re hard to film.

New toy for for myself.

Marantz CD5001

Instead of having three CD players that each did one thing well, why not one player that does it all?

No support for hi-res / surround sound CD formats, but it does read the TOC quickly, have working optical and, my favourite, CD Text 😩✨ 💿

No idea where this trended started <.<

Why are you like this? 😭

Any fish experts want to weigh in?
I’ve stead about “bottom sitting” when a fish is feeling unwell, but this is swimming to a specific spot in the shallow end and staring at the wall.

Odds of survival aren’t great, are they? 😭
September 2, 2025 at 10:41 AM
Sad Fish, what are you doing?

Like, if I approach, they’ll swim off quickly. Some times they even hang out with the group and you can see all 10 together.

But Sad Fish spends mod of the day like this. Just floating near the surface in the shallow areas.

How worried should I be?

Got much better underwater video of the tiddlers doing their thing.

Close up view of The Goldie Gang, Chocolate Brownie and Splodge.

(Was going to call her Speckle, but my mother started calling her Splodge, so I guess it stuck.)

Would you be interested in a pleasant whippet?

Happy to leave much of this up to you.
If you'd like a prompt, either "Going for a walk" or "Enjoying music"

Either way, thank you ✨

October is going to clear out my bank.
Also will be in quite the mental state after this watch list. 😬

Using an old underwater camera. Wanted to see a fish-eye perspective on things. 👁️👁️

(excuse the wonky old shake correction)
