Nice band alert! Belle and Sebastian’s Perth gig was cancelled tonight because their gear didn’t make it over from Queensland. So they invited fans down to Langley Park to say hello and play a few tunes. (Not my photo btw)

I retract this recommendation. Do not listen to this song! It will never leave your head.

Sigh. Cancelled my Mubi subscription for the 19th time today. Who keeps signing me up for this? (It's past me, forever hopeful that future me will have unlimited time to enjoy its diverse delights.)

I have no idea if it’s a good film or not, but every still I see from “The Wizard of the Kremlin” has an a creepy uncanny valley feel - like it’s acted by wax museum renditions of Paul Dano and Jude Law.

Just a few hours left to back Perth-based Simon Miraudo’s upcoming book, Last Rites for Lost Films. www.kickstarter.com/projects/sim... I’ve just started reading Simon’s previous book, Book of the Banned, and I love his writing style. It’s knowledgable and also very human and fun to read.

I’m enjoying diving back into the Murderbot world. Looking forward to Martha Wells next book, Title Conflation.

an old sign - most of which has fallen away, leaving only a small medical cross at the top

Some people at movie club dinged Isle of Dogs for being slow and lingering. Can’t wait till my pick, Kelly Reichardt’s First Cow, rolls around. That being said, First Cow is a high-octane action movie compared with Showing Up or Certain Women.

etude:diagonal - probably my favourite track from sora's re.sort - glitchy soft percussion mixed with vague vocal snatches - love it it when the "right now" chimes in youtu.be/_brYEELu_2s?...

Setting a high bar for suave elegance in the office today. Popped the W key off my keyboard to dislodge a crumb then spent ten minutes crawling around on the floor unable to find it. Eventually realised it had slid down the side of my boot. I'm like a modern day David Niven.

Looking forward to the new season of Ted Lasso. Can’t wait for the scene where he is served with child custody papers during the big game.

I love reading about multi-millionaire actors heroically turning down multi-million dollar roles for artistic and integrity reasons. We have so much to learn from them!

Just glanced at my recent Letterboxd reviews - seems I really like calling films a "wild ride" - used the same phrase for Funny Pages and eXistenZ.

One of the highlights of my trip to Japan was going to Magayura in Noda. Five hours of amazing, weird, experimental music and performances. Loved that I had a clear view out to the train platform - people just going about their lives - while all this weird shit was happening in this little room.

Wandering around Northbridge I stumbled across the new-to-me secondhand bookstore, Mainly Books. Fantastic range and super chill and relaxed vibe. Forced myself to stop at seven. www.mainlybooks.com.au/index.php

My current level of exhaustedness is evident by not only buying a tub of premade "carbonara" sauce on the way home but also precut mushrooms to mix with it. pre - cut - mushrooms!

Way back when I saw ads for Final Fantasy 7 on TV I thought to myself: How can it be the final fantasy when this is part seven? I thought i was soooo clever.

nytimes reporting in many areas is problematic - but i'm still pleased to see that their "seems to contradict" has moved to a clear "contradicts".

I was surprised at how few KR films I'd seen before 2025 - ended up watching six of them

It's so fun and informative to try to copy a work of art you enjoy, in the same medium, a different one, whatever. I wish everyone who does not identify as an artist would try this without concern for "being good." or doing it "right."

☀️ It’s gonna be a hot few days in Perth! 💧If it’s hot where you are too, please leave out cool, fresh water for the wildlife in your garden. Like this mumma roo in our garden yesterday, the birds, animals and inverts will all be very grateful for it! #auswildlife #wildoz #kangaroo #heatwave

The new Kelly Reichardt film, The Mastermind, opened in Australia this week - everywhere except Western Australia. It's hard for me to not take this personally.

Am I the only one who finds pictures of meat being handled by people wearing black gloves kind of gross? BTW, it's not the meat I find gross - it's the gloves.

According to my wide open eyes, green tea contains a non-negligible amount of caffeine - who knew?

ninety-nine point nine percent of the time tomato sauce is an unwelcome addition to any plate - except when having a meat pie, when it is absolutely essential
