Just saw a clip of Possessor which I won’t repost because it’s pretty violent (but quite mild compared to other parts of the film, which are WELL violent). Anyway, I’d forgotten – Possessor is one of the films I’ve enjoyed most in recent years. Cool, creepy, inventive, and well violent.

Ah go on then Local Hero The Italian Job Withnail and I Kill List Under the Skin That’s not a very good list. I’ll probably think of a completely different selection as soon as I post it.

Apologies in advance: I will probably be using the word ‘autumnated’ (and variations) *a bit too much* in the coming months.

Kirlian printing at @photofusionuk.bsky.social last weekend. We applied high voltage electricity to objects on photographic paper; the corona discharge, resulting from ionisation of the air, is recorded on the paper. This is dill and rosemary from my garden. So much fun!

I have eaten very little today (basically 1.5 sandwiches) and have just necked a can of 7.4% stout. Consequently I am now eating crisps from a bowl with a fork.

Put in a quick order for two big cans of paint this morning because, after getting all the samples and finally choosing a colour and finish: Of course it was discontinued. Found ONE retailer with the last five cans left IN THE WORLD

Repost with an image of your favourite James Bond (right answer)
Black and white photo of a middle aged man who’s either amused or annoyed, it’s hard to tell. He wears a tweedy jacket and a tie of diagonal tartan. He’s the ornithologist James Bond, after whom the fictional spy was named.

What? When I was eighteen I latched on to Douglas Coupland’s ‘Generation X’ at least in part *because* it was so particularly American (hello, I’m British). I loved all the everyday brand names and cultural references.

SCORE Actually the bucket’s mostly full of soil, brought back from the allotment to start some seedlings on the balcony. Still, though.
A catering size mayonnaise bucket containing (on top anyway) frilly salad leaves, purple basil, rosemary and pear-shaped tomatoes.

There’s a video doing the rounds that purports to show how useless AI (in the form of a quadruped robot) is. But the video is AI generated. But it’s taken a lot of people in, because the original poster presented it as real, or at least didn’t say it was AI.

Looking at paint colours for the living room/kitchen. Sensible brands, so the names aren’t too silly, but we’re both a bit disturbed by how much we like one called ’Havisham’.

Face recognition’s stopped working on my phone. Possibly related: I could do with a haircut.
