Me and my little guy watched the final few episodes of Skeleton Crew over the weekend.

It is a fantastic show. Perhaps the best Star Wars has been since 'Star Wars'.

I think I prefer Andor, for all the reasons, but SC was a real hit.

Is this Jude Law's best 'Hollywood' performance?

The quality of these pre-built cut scenes in KCD2 is pretty shocking

@samuelwroberts.bsky.social Just completed your top 10 podcast from the end of the year and highly enjoyed it.

Now I cannot wait to put some hours into DD2 (after I've completed Baldurs Gate 3).

Lots of good news today.

The kid got into her high school of choice (the #1 school in our province).

Divorce was finally complete after a long, drawn out legal process.

We've booked two house viewings for Friday/Saturday and are looking to move to a bigger place.

I bought these Tokyo banana kitkats a month ago and I’m taking my time.

They are the best Kitkat. Great amount of chocolate and incredible taste.

Had a lie in for the first time in what feels like weeks.

Feel like taking a walk with Jana to Paul and getting an overpriced coffee.

What are the five websites?
The millennial experience is growing up with the internet, and watching it go from a free, open, democratic, and eclectic ecosystem to a wasteland of five websites controlled by billionaires, and now seeing it quickly fill up with AI-generated slop.

I want our World Wide Web back.
i don't want to hear your most boomer complaint. what's your most millennial complaint?

I'm wearing my @thesquareball.net Christmas Yeboah jumper for the first time. I got to spend the morning before we went to school with my eight year old son showing him the Yeboah highlights reel.

Lovely stuff.

There’s a vibe about The Wire series 2 that hits different.

I think it’s because the show starts in the freezing winter. That energy is transferred through all the episodes.

This Oxford side is perhaps the best example of the gulf between top tier championship and lower.

Leeds are massively in control and Oxford cannot cope

Back home from Japan a couple of days ago. I am literally in mourning. Cannot watch or interact with any Japanese content. Cannot look at my pictures. Refuse to look at the things I bought. I just want to go back.

(well, here's one photo)

Leaving Japan with not a single weeb purchase is the most mature thing I’ve ever done.

Wanted to grab Tekken 8 but it’s cheaper at the best buy back home.

Long travel day today. Taking the Shinkansen from Osaka to Tokyo. Then the train from Tokyo station to Narita. Then flying Narita to Vancouver.

Will get home yesterday morning. No plans except to download Indiana Jones and try to stay awake until 11pm PST

Good morning from my Osaka hotel!

The amount of PS1/PS2 era midi Christmas tunes being played in every Japanese airport, konbini and public transport area is crazy.

Currently listening to Last Christmas as if it were a village melody from a fondly remembered 2001 RPG.

Just properly spent my first time in Roppongi Hills and it’s beautiful. It’s nighttime and most people have left for the day but the vibe, the lighting and all of the greenery and trees make it so gorgeous.

These massive 50 storey buildings rising up but you feel comfy.

Lived my Yakuza life tonight in Shinjuku.

Went for yakitori and sat outside as the train rumbled past.

Went to the batting cages.

Went for lemon sours at the Lawson.

Went to the Arcade to try and win at crane games.

Happy boy

Got to take a picture with Verstappen’s championship winning car today randomly.

Was just walking to Shibuya and stumbled upon the Honda building with the car sitting in the foyer

Spent the day walking to and around Shibuya. Nothing bought (except some JLeague trading cards!).

20k steps in already and back to the hotel for a Premium Malts and swim in the pool before dinner in Shinjuku.

Day 1 in Tokyo.

I don’t love that flight. Pretty tough to get through. But feel much better this morning.

Up early to help with the jet lag and get on Japan time.
