My favourite personal mondegreen: for years I though Zapp's funk hit "More Bounce to the Ounce" was saying "Boardwalk through the Alps". That's probably a comment on how naturally unfunky I am.

@KILLER77X @HorrorCarnival @26mfhpod Yes, I love this soundtrack. Really makes the movie.

Did you hear the news? @frommars1953 is celebrating 40 years of Stuart Gordon’s RE-ANIMATOR with a stunning new 4K restoration!! Pre-order before it sells out! 💚 and make sure to watch until the end of this video for some more fun news… ignite-films.com

Sweet.

Something’s coming… fangoria.com/reanimator-new…

There’s a movie about me opening soon called A Complete Unknown (what a title!). Timothee Chalamet is starring in the lead role. Timmy’s a brilliant actor so I’m sure he’s going to be completely believable as me. Or a younger me. Or some other me. The film’s taken from Elijah Wald’s Dylan Goes Electric – a book that came out in 2015. It’s a fantastic retelling of events from the early ‘60s that led up to the fiasco at Newport. After you’ve seen the movie read the book.

It looks like there is some good news with Voyager 1 – communications have been restored, allowing the spacecraft to keep sending data back. The fact that Voyager 1 is 47 years old and still functioning and providing information to us is a testament to the quality of the research and engineering that went into its development by @NASA a half-Century ago. Voyager 1 is 15.4 billion miles from Earth – still venturing into deep space, on its own, carrying out its mission. An astounding accomplishment! space.com/space-explorat…

@AdamRutherford Only my Masters, so pretty broad: Vibration Damping in Multispan Heat Exchanger Tubes.

In the spirit of freedom of academic enquiry for extraordinarily niche domains, my thesis was entitled: ‘The role of CHX10 in the development of the mammalian retina’ #ThesisTitles Your turn, go!

That should be the last time I rake leaves this year. Got 'em in just before the rain arrived. My dad, who's a farmer, confirmed that there was a lot of foliage this year. We usually get a spring windstorm that drops the first batch of leaves but that didn't happen in 2024 here.

I just saw my first cybertruck in the wild. So dumb.

@HalifaxReTales And I love 'em all.

I had the Big Hungry at Mic Mac Grill today: this was a mistake. Bacon-wrapped steak, 2 eggs, roast potatoes, buttery toast; but also 5 sausages, 5 more strips of bacon, and a 3/4" slab of ham? Ludicrous. Most of it came home in a box. $31 and I'll get 3 meals out of this.

2025! First convention we get to celebrate! @CreepIECon

Ahhh, the low-level rumble of winter tires on the car.

Saw Nick Cave in Paris recently at the Accor Arena and I was really struck by that song Joy where he sings “We’ve all had too much sorrow, now it the time for joy.” I was thinking to myself, yeah that’s about right.

Colouring.

Raid on Bungling Bay one of the best games on the c64 in my opinion and is also the basis of sim city
