Fifth time seeing New Found Glory yesterday. The last time I saw them (at the ABC, RIP), I wore a full suit and tie after attending an awards event for work. Last night I wore a gilet. Equally not appropriate.

Nice to discover and listen to Real Friends a few days beforehand too!

This is the only cassette I remember in my dad's car.
A cassette tape of the No Doubt album, Tragic Kingdom. Gwen Stefani wearing a sleeveless red dress and red shoes. She smiles and poses holding up a fruit in her L hand and her R hand on her hip. The other four band mates are in the background in a field, in front of a barren fruit tree.

A pleasure to attend the UK premiere of #ISwear at @glasgowfilmtheatre.bsky.social last night. Amazing experience to see this inspirational story of Tourette syndrome in a packed cinema with such an inclusive and proud audience. A really funny and touching film.
Image on a cinema screen promoting the film I Swear, in cinemas October 10. Audience sot and gather in front of me as I take the photo.

I have been advised by my wife that to avoid us having a Before Midnight experience, I need to share some photos including her to celebrate this special day.
Me taking a selfie of me and my wife wearing headphones on Alt Neu. We're smiling and she's giving a thumbs up. (The listening booth was purpose built for the film and is not part of the record store). Me straddling the stone wall barrier at Albertina art gallery, with my wife standing next to me. The Vienna State Opera House is in the background.

It's June 16th, you know what that means

(it means it's time to consider how to orchestrate another trip to Vienna to visit more Before Sunrise filming locations)
Me taking a selfie crouching on the ground at Preßgasse 4, 1040 Wien, Austria. I'm next to a double window with green gate for a basement apartment. This is where Jesse and Celine hear someone playing the harpsichord on Before Sunrise. Me taking a selfie on the Ferris wheel in Prater amusement park. A window is behind me with a panoramic view of Vienna. Me straddling a stone barrier at the top of the Albertina art museum. In the background is the Vienna State Opera House. Me sitting outside Kliens Cafe on a green chair. My hand is held out as if I'm getting a palm reading, as Celine does in the film Before Sunrise. It's the evening and the street lights are on.

Excited to finally see The Get Up Kids live tonight! Sadly I don't have this hoodie anymore, which I wore all the time in 2009-11. Like every fan of the band, I was introduced to them by One Tree Hill using 'Like a Man Possessed' in an episode 😆

There's still one work day left but this is as productive as I will get this week.

I saw the new powerful production of CHEF by Sabrina Mahfouz @thegaiety.bsky.social at the weekend. Check it out on tour this week at The Beacon, @cnauldtheatre.bsky.social, @perthtch.bsky.social and @traversetheatre.bsky.social !
The set of CHEF on stage at The Gaiety Theatre, Ayr. A 3x5 foot red floor runs down the centre. A red foot stool is at the front centre, which on top has a container of water with a peach floating in it. Behind is a silver metal kitchen counter with a projector on it. At the back is a dark red curtain made out of strips of PVC, next to silver metal shelves with red boxes. Four T bar light fixtures are on each corner around the red floor. A large red box, as well as a red mop and bucket, are off to the left. The set of CHEF on stage at The Gaiety Theatre, Ayr, with the CHEF programme held up next to it.

GFF25 Film 15: Make it to Munich. Wholesome DIY documentary on Ethan (an aspiring football who 8 months earlier was in a serious traffic accident), his surgeon, the director and a friend cycling over 1.200km from Glasgow to Munich for the opening of Euro 2024. Inspirational story with lots of laughs

How did I celebrate International Women's Day? By handily defeating four women at darts. I would have had 3 gold medals if they didn't all gang up to sabotage me! If it was any other day I would have reported them for cheating.

#GFF25 Film 1: Tornado! Murky morality tale on greed with thrills in its chase. Much to appreciate in the cinematography and subtlety of the performances.

Most importantly, the make up artist worked on a short film I performed in at uni. Has her make up brushes touch my face AND Tim Roth's face?!?!

Every year I see this in my Facebook memories and every year I am flabbergasted. 2010 and certain parts/functions of the internet were still designated to a place in your house you went to, rather than being constantly accessible in my hand.
A Facebook post by my 15 years ago on 15 January 2025: is it safe/POSSIBLE to order something on the internet...but from your phone? c'mon samsung omnia and skyfire web browser, don't let me down!

RIP to the perfectly fitted cords for short me that I bought from Vinted three months ago.

(maybe not so perfectly fitted if I can't even do a squat without this happening)
