Given Daylight Savings is off here in Sydney, and it’s been cloudy and rainy all day, the view of a starless evening is a little unnerving and yet makes for one of the most amazing shots I’ve taken in a while… (7:02pm AEST in the Blue Mountains if anyone is curious) #filmnoirvibes

PSA to anyone with a ChromeCast device, there appears to be a known issue happening due to either a bad update to the Google Home app, or an expired certificate causing your CC device to stop operating. DO NOT FACTORY RESET, it will not reconnect to your WiFi. A fix is supposedly in the works…

FACT: There exists a level at which the amount of artificial butter which can be added to cinema popcorn reaches a point where people begin to believe it's not butter. This is known as the “margarine of error”…

So yesterday I finally made the decision to cut all ties from X/Twitter, and may I say, it’s the best decision I’ve made in a very long time… I just couldn’t stand the level of toxicity combined with the concentration of sheer uneducated and unadulterated stupidity…

Last night’s dinner, home made bibimbap!

The sauce has just the right amount of heat and sweetness from the gochujang (first time #cooking with it), and because I had trouble finding fresh bean sprouts, I used fresh seaweed. Also used cauliflower rice as I’m trying to go low-carb of late.

@georgetakei.bsky.social, you have been a great inspiration for many others, including myself. I hope you, Brad and the kids are faring well given everything that is happening there in the States…

Donald Trump sees himself as more than a President, but he can’t be:
* a king, the US isn’t a kingdom;
* a prince, the US isn’t a principality;
* a duke, the US isn’t a duchy; or
* an emperor, the US isn’t an empire…

The US is just a country… So he can only be just a… well… you know… 😉

So can somebody please explain how the… *cough* new US administration’s belief that acquiring Greenland from Denmark will benefit national security…? Is there that big of a shortage of suaasat (seal, whale, reindeer and seabird soup) in the Red states that they need to get it sourced directly? 🤔

Just noticed this from the next check up sticker by my mechanic… 31st of April…? Could they possibly mean 1st of May?

So is it wrong of me to cheer when Steven Seagal’s character dies in “Executive Decision”?

So today I found out that “First Blood” is technically a Christmas film as well… I mean, that IS a Christmas tree right there, right? And the snowman on the left kinda confirms it too…

Am I wrong?

Now doing my annual ritual of watching “Can’t Stop the Music” starring Steve Guttenberg, Valerie Perrine, Caitlyn Jenner and the Village People; to see in the New Year…

Happy 2025 everyone!

I’ve recently come across a number of potential romance scammers trying to lure others on various social platforms to eventually con these prior financially, so far, none in here thank goodness. However, I want to stress that even in 2024, and soon 2025, these types of people still exist…

You know the phrase “the best thing since sliced bread”?

Well, let’s put this in context, the first automatically sliced bread loaves were created in a bakery in Chillicothe, in the state of Missouri, on July 6, 1928.

I think my love for film is becoming detrimental to my social circle…

One of my friends asked me “What’s up?” but for some reason, they got pissed off when my response was “A cinematic masterpiece from 2009 about an old man who ties balloons to his house and goes to South America.” 🤔

#Music BlueSkyers, I need an assist here

I’m trying to recall the title an artist of a particular song. It’s an EDM track from either late 90s or early 00s. Mostly piano with a great back beat & bassline. The music video featured a young boy riding a train with scenery rushing by. Mark Snow vibes?

So… people are saying “on accident” by accident, when in reality, they’re trying to say “by accident” on purpose…

Got it… 🤔
Americans saying ‘on accident’ by accident.

Ironically, the phrase “Do Not Touch” must be the scariest phrase to read in Braille… 🤔

So I just boarded a train and the woman sitting next to me is wearing a polo shirt with the following logo

Any Aussie child of the #70's and #80's will automatically know why I was excited to see this...

This was worn by a number of people on the show "Skippy the Bush Kangaroo" and I geeked out

Finally arrived at Central station here in Sydney, some 41 minutes late. If this had been “Last Train to Busan” everyone in this train would be zombies by now…

CityRail, you need to work on your A-game. it’s clear that your infrastructure is shoddy and this new timetable hasn’t made it any better.

#Sydney BlueSkyers, does anyone know where I can get a decent pineapple glaze doughnut in Western Sydney? I’m getting nostalgic for a taste of the past…
