Last November I started watching all Tony Scott’s movies in chronological order of release.
I finished today.
16 movies later, here’s my final ranking . . .

Had to say goodbye to Toby yesterday. It was quick, and I was grateful to be there to give him one last cheek scritch at the end. He always tucked himself under my arm each evening as I read. I’m finding it hard to open my book tonight. Sleep well, buddy. You were the best. #catsofbluesky

Oh fun. Just discovered our second book was one of those stolen by Meta to train AI. It’s not like we make any money from an academic press, so this is even more infuriating.

Blur – Parklife
Blur’s masterpiece still sounds as fresh as it ever did. In the Blur vs. Oasis kerfuffle, the Gallaghers had the better debut, but Blur were better over the long haul. And Parklife is as good as Definitely Maybe, giving Damon Albarn and Co. the win.

7 years ago, at Amanda’s school’s Christmas party, I ate this monstrosity, the barbecue pork parfait.
What’s the dumbest dish you’ve ever tried at a restaurant?

Lauren Mayberry – Vicious Creature
As a huge fan of CHVRCHES, I greeted the news of Mayberry’s solo debut with a mixture of excitement and anxiety. The good news is that it’s fantastic: tuneful and dancey and smart in equal measure.

You can tell by the expression on my goofy face that I loved Jonathan Janz’s Children of the Night 2: The Night Flyers.

Kim Deal – Nobody Loves You More
It took Kim Deal 38 years, but she’s graced us with her first solo album. Unsurprisingly, it’s great. It sounds at times like the natural sequel to The Breeders’ Last Splash, but it’s also its own (very good) thing.

The cats are doing fine, too, although they have to live their best lives after the puppy is asleep.
(They also fully endorse this Costco blanket, which I can verify is super comfy.)
