I’m running out of decent photos of our late and beloved Tina, so let’s make the most of it for this #caturday. A fairly typical pose for her, letting me know that I’d had enough screen time and she needed some attention.

‘Driver 76’ (2007), £6, PSP game. Old school graphics, and a soundtrack to match, inclined the Stranglers, Blondie, etc. I haven’t played this game yet so I don’t have anything else to say about it :-)

So glad it’s the weekend, so Tulip can take a break from her heavy schedule of snacking, frolicking, and sneak sock attacks.

‘XXX’ (2002), £1, UMD.
Kind of an extreme sports James Bond movie, as I remember. Rammstein are in it, which is weird because I thought it was Velvet Revolver! This movie must have seemed perfect for the PSP target audience of 15 year old boys.

Tulip looks ready to seize the day. Which will probably involve snacks, naps, and savaging soft toys. We should all be so lucky.

‘Fantastic Four Rise Of The Silver Surfer’ (2007), £2, UMD. This would’ve been the worst FF movie, except for the Trank one. But I always liked this cast, and Chiklis works well in his physical, non-CGI suit.

It looks like my plan is working, and Tulip’s getting used to her new carrier. She likes to sit in there and watch me through the window.

‘Spider-Man 3’ (2007), £5, UMD. The least-liked of the Raimi Spider-Man movies, getting a 6.3 on IMDB, and honestly I think it should be lower.

Tulip at 00.48 last night, once again ‘helping’ me write. I’m not sure what she’s trying to tell me with this look.

‘Passport to London’ and ‘Passport to Rome’ (2006), £1.50 each, UMD. These Lonely Planet releases include maps, guided walks, and videos. There are a few others in the series, but I think two is enough. Both of these include all of the original inserts.

Ever get the feeling you’re being watched? Tulip is fascinated by the bath, whether empty or full. #siberiansunday

‘The Mummy’ (1999), £12, UMD, and ‘The Mummy Returns’ (2001), £4, UMD. Directed by Stephen Sommers, who also did Deep Rising, Van Helsing, Odd Thomas, etc. Utterly epic old-school adventures, perfect leads, great bad guys, everything.

Playing at this next weekend, taking the little synth rig, should be fun! I plan to record some 360º video, we'll see how that goes #livemusic #electronicmusic #ambientmusic

I checked a camera that I rarely use, and there was a set of photos of our late Tina on there. Hadn’t expected that, and I had a bit of a moment, I’m not embarrassed to say. Look at her x have a good #caturday and treasure your cat friends.

‘Van Helsing’ (2004), PSP UMD, £2. Directed by Stephen Sommers (Deep Rising, The Mummy, Odd Thomas). It's fun, and we don’t stand for any ‘so bad it’s good/guilty pleasure’ stuff - if you like it, just have the guts to say you like it.
