Finished reading Stephen King's Billy Summers. Really really good. Forgot how great a storyteller King can be.

I know I've said it before, and without wanting to sound like a stuck record (read: I will totally sound like a stuck record) it's disappointing to come across a great blog post but the author doesn't allow comments. There's still some great writing out there, shame that little spark of conversation can't be had sometimes.
A few quick links. The New York Times on Stephen King's Carrie at age 50. Ever wanted to see where all the Starlink Satellites are? Of course you have. And an ambient jazz version of There Is A Light That Never Goes Out.
Giving 3 Body Problem a go even after reading Dave's review 😬

The morning after a rain storm, windows open, Nespresso about to go down well.
The Fry Bread House in Phoenix has just the best Indian Fry Bread I've ever had.
The trailer for Star Wars: The Acolyte is out. It doesn't look bad per se, but it seems…meh. I hope I'm not falling down the same fatigue hole with Star Wars as I've done with Marvel.
Went down a bit of a Meat Loaf rabbit hole, as you do. I didn't know he should have sang Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse of The Heart. Would have loved to have heard his take on that. Also, on Bat Of Of Hell II, the British singer Lorraine Crosby didn't receive any royalties for the vocals she sang at the end of I'd Do Anything For Love. Both the single and the album sold a gagillion copies, so that sucks.
