I booked a single pod (on account of my persuasion) but it looks like all the pods are the same size. I’m used to a smaller futon, so the experience is not quite what I expected…

The inside of my pod, a mess not ten minutes after I first got in.

Gotta say, I would have preferred different circumstances (I missed my chance in Japan last time) and not because Málaga has become a Dickian dystopy. On the flip side, look at those Blade Runner lights! I feel like in my own room 🤭

¡Cohone, que como no espabilemos se nos pasa la oportunidad de ver Focas marinas en Prime! PS: pagad las traducciones, mother focas

A preview of 1990s Navy SEALs as seen on the Spanish version of Amazon Prime Video. The title appears mistranslated as "Focas marinas", which is the Spanish for "sea seals" (the animal).

I am in Kraków for work and apparently my company has booked a escape room instead of a hotel one…

A plastic card hanging from a lamp in a hotel room, with the message “Find hidden messages!” and morse code for the alphabet and numbers 0 to 9.

At the bottom of the illustration, in front of the building where Wilde himself is depicted, I noticed a wicked detail: a brutish man with an ostentatious coat and a pair of boxing gloves hanging from his shoulders.

The entrance of a building, with two children (probably Wilde’s kids) sitting on the stairs. The Marquess of Queensberry is in front of said building.

Browsing in the British Library shop, I saw this lovely jigsaw puzzle based on the life and works of Oscar Wilde. It contains references to his plays and tales, and he appears himself, as well as his wife and children.

The box of a jigsaw puzzle, with the label “The world of Oscar Wilde: A jigsaw puzzle by Adam Simpson”. The cover is illustrated with snippets of Wilde’s tales, plays and novel, as well as references to his own life.

One more reason to love Picture House is the film references everywhere.

A blackboard with the message, “Ask our staff! Full Metal Jacket Potato”, and a drawing referencing the film. Cafeteria at the Arts Picture House in Cambridge.

The chance to meet Shinichirô Watanabe and tell him, with nicer words, “I’m a trans woman addicted to jazz, and you’ve had something to do with all that. Thank you so much for it” has been quite something.

“—What’s your favourite type of films? —The quiet ones.” This is the best way to enjoy a film a film when you didn’t expect to cry a river 😭

The empty cinema room where I just a film, right before the screening. The Gods of the Silver Screen smiled upon me!

As soon as I got back home, @simbelmina.bsky.social told me about Jonathan Baileys’ glasses in JW:R having become a trend. I’ve just picked up my new glasses.

I'm not going to defend AI and Google's overview irks me, but some results are hilarious. Those lyrics "by Bruno Mars" are part of the Boob World jingle from Rick and Morty. I don't know what Elton John's song about John Lennon has to do with it all, either. #Hallucinations #AIBloopers #AIsHigh

Googling "no matter where you're ever been this is the place your life begins lyrics" gets you the Boob World jingle from Rick and Morty is "Today My Life Begins" by Bruno Mars. On the right side, the Wikipedia article for Elton John's song "Empty Garden" is suggested. Google AI is high.

My phone screen is broken, which causes refraction issues with the frontal camera. The upside is any selfie will do whenever I launch an indie album.

The latest loot. It was sombered by two other albums that happened to be bootleg; I’m still a bit annoyed by that, but Mai Yamane’s “Sorry” is SO good I cannot be mad. Also, the pressing is 5 years older than me and I wish I’d be in that condition 😭

Vinyl records by Van Halen, Roxy Music, Bruce Springsteen and Mai Yamane.

You’ve been murdered, who do you want on the case? Everyone will eventually get even more puzzled after agent Cooper is on the case, and that’s alright. I just want him to enjoy some few damn good cups of coffee and a bunch of pieces of cherry pie, because he deserves some joy.

4 películas en blanco y negro que me apasionan: - Los siete samuráis (七人の侍) - ¿Teléfono rojo? Volamos hacia Moscú (Dr Strangelove) - El crepúsculo de los dioses (Sunset Boulevard) - El Tercer hombre (The Third Man)

Anoche tuve el papo de decirme: “tengo que comer un poco mejor” seguido a los cinco minutos de: “me da igual que sea la una de la mañana, me apetecen unos scones”.

Me: “I ought to eat better.” Also me: “Why not baking some pumpkin scones past midnight?”
