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.
Who did I listen to most this week? #lastfm says: Gary Numan (39), Suede (27), New Model Army (21), a-ha (20) & The Waterboys (14) [via lastweekly]
Started watching Constellation on Apple TV+. Really liking it so far. Has similar vibes to Dark. Which just happens to be one of my favorite TV shows of all time.
I used to post these every week on the Tweeters but I don't really do that any more. So a new thing here every Friday.

At the tire place getting a slow leak looked at. Which in itself is the most fun anyone ever had in their whole life. But there's more, dear reader, for this waiting room has some kind of country music TV thing going. Send help.
The phone airplane mode myth. Although having recently sat next to a guy arguing with his girlfriend over Facetime while on a flight, I'd be completely fine with perma-banning data while up in the sky.
Taking a bit of a break from the socials. Too much Twitter/Mastodon/bluesky.
England day four brings freezing fog and frost on rooftops. And seeing oldest friends tonight at the village pub was an absolute delight.
Things that are Englandy. That first drive down super narrow streets again, good heavens. Rain, then. All of it, non stop since I got here. Wouldn't have it any other way, good to be back for a bit.
