"If you didn't do anything that wasn't good for you it would be a very dull life. What are you gonna do? Everything that is pleasant in life is dangerous."
Tonight's major motion picture rewatch was Star Trek Beyond (2016), meaning I am now well and truly at the end of the ST movie rewatches (though still lots to go of TNG of course). It meanders slightly at the start, but it all turns out pretty well in the action and effects departments in the end, which is all that really matters
And then The Sopranos S3E10, To Save Us All from Satan's Power (TV Episode 2001), featuring another guest star appearance by that Big Mouth Billy Bass thing. The first time I saw one of those was a Sunday evening in autumn 1999 when I'd just arrived back at the pub where I stayed in Cheltenham, where they'd put one behind the bar and the barmaid showed it off to me, apparently thinking it was one of the great wonders of the modern age. I made the appreciative noises that were obviously expected of me, but to be honest I never saw the attraction myself. My first thought was along the lines of a small SOC (something Z80-based would be fine), a few song samples blown into the ROM, a cheap speaker, a motion sensor, and some very basic animatronics. Perhaps I see too deeply into these things

Well it must be said that a decent story helps.
Unimpressed with the reboot.
Morning all
Dry.
Blue sky.
Sunless (it's not risen yet).
Cold at 15.8 in here, frost on the grass, condensation on the bedroom window.

Thursday.
Shedload of Strangelove Pater's Railway mags hit the recycling this morning.
Feck me those mags were tedious from the odd one or two I opened.
About as tedious as some of my mags which are likely to hit the recycling in the near future.
Must have been exceptionally wriggly in bed last night since the sheets were all over the place.
