Just rewatched Twin Peaks S3E8- I’d forgotten that no only do we get the birth of Killer Bob in the first atomic bomb, but also a kick arse #NIN show. Top telly.

Revisited Bangor Uni this weekend. Question: do degrees prepare us for real work? My education happened via Britpop & raves, not lectures. The most interesting careers come from detours, not straight lines. Found my worth in actual work, not academics.
