Finished my end of year film round up yesterday and only now remembering to share it. Next up, do my hair and then eat custard.

Not me looking at the Universal Scrobbler subreddit and the “cancel subscription” posts and being like “I’ve got premium but no subscription, what’s going on”

and now finally, after years of wondering about this, have finally realised that I paid a one off $5 YEARS ago instead of going for a monthly $1 and this is why

Turns out Listenbrainz is pretty good at serving me music I’ve not heard, that I might like.

Food

I made banana cake with kaya filling yessss

“do we need rice?” as if the answer will ever be anything other than “yes”

Some GENIUS replaced the thread loops on the christmas tree baubles at some point with garden wire and it is SO EASY and then it is easy to remove afterwards!

(might… actually have been me tbh, but I do not remember)

Looking back in my last.fm account and apparently I saw Muse in 2009 in BIRMINGHAM when I NO LONGER LIVED THERE???

I do not remember seeing them AT ALL, although there are old reminder emails I’ve sent myself from my work address around then saying to bring Muse CDs to lend my work colleague and what time she’s coming over on the day of the concert (3.30pm). I mean… she must have bought the tickets since I don’t have those emails but???

The venue had their support listed as “Beautiful Listens” everywhere and it was mildly entertaining to find out that they’re really “Enjoyable Listens” and they have a kind of what if Gabriel Bruce was a slightly eccentric English man.

Sleep Token on Tuesday night were AMAZEFACE. I discovered that their support Bilmuri’s name is pronounced “Bill Murray”” which in hindsight makes more sense with their vibe.

Last night I saw Electric Six who turn out to be great live and have 15 albums – who know? Other than lots of people obvs but this is what happens when I buy tickets in March for a gig in December for a band who I only really listened to 20 years ago.

Ehhh the plan had been to re-dye my hair on Wednesday and then I rescheduled that to today but I’m still not feeling it. Maybe next Friday
