This here, a proud and upsetting member of His Majesty's Royal Navy, is Pollyanna the reindeer.

And for the avoidance of doubt, she's the one on the right of the photograph.

In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

Trump is reportedly designing the look of the new ships himself.

Anyhow, the Vasa Museum is pretty cool if you’re ever in Stockholm

I also want to say thank you to the person who introduced me to the French word 'beaucoup' this year. It means a lot.

I suddenly remembered the time Swedish public radio made a show called "Star Wars or Småland" where they listed a bunch of place names and you had to guess if they were from Star Wars or small towns in Småland.
Fun fact, the small town of Kosta in the Swedish region Småland has had famous glassworks for centuries. But it also has a large wooded area used for army exercises. I've spent weeks there. Pitch black winter nights, days filled with mud and misery.

Some photos of various parts of the ship, including the casino, open air deck, and the dining room. Bit of drama around dinner timing as there are two seatings for the buffet. Apparently a large group bookings tried to claim the entire later session. I negotiated on that one.

Nine years ago Mike Fitzgerald wrote up an extraordinarily fascinating breakdown of the differences between the Tom Stoppard shooting script and the original Jeffrey Boam draft of Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade.
