When someone sits next to me at the train station, bus stop, or park bench, I just stare straight ahead and say "it's done. Did you bring the money?" They usually freeze before apologising and making an excuse to leave.

Still can't get over the lack of silly pauses in "Rock n Roll Nerd" but this album is bangin'!!!
30 years in the making… my new album, Time Machine, is out now! All 11 songs were written in my 20s, now reimagined and finally properly studio-recorded for the first time.
I hope you get a kick out of it.

I almost didn't get into bed because my cat was sprawled across the cover and I think it's better to sleep on the couch than disturb her level of comfy 🥹 Now she's at the edge of the bed with her back turned, looking disappointed (I don't know how, she conveys the mood while turned the other way)

For anyone wondering, some possible dog names have survived from cuneiform sources.
On tiny dog figurines found buried under a palace in Nineveh, Iraq are inscriptions that seem to be names.

Now that I own vassy.me as a domain name, I'm wondering whether or not to move my site to it from valchanova.me.
✅ Pros: shorter and easier to spell.
🛑 Cons: it may feel less professional, and I'll need to move *gestures vaguely towards screen* all of this.
Do you guys have any thoughts?

Cutest movie I've watched in recent history! It's heartwarming, funny and just the right level of childish for a grown-up audience. Available on Sky Showtime, at least in my neck of the woods.

I've achieved peak wine snob. Got illogically miffed by the fact the wine list didn't correctly give the bottle names. In a random supposedly-gourmet-but-still-fast-food pizza place 🤷🏻♀️ Prayers go to my husband who'll still need to go out to restaurants with me.
