For gastritis reasons, I spent today slow cooking the world’s mildest chilli. It sat next to a dried chilli, that’s as close as it gets to heat.

The Count of Monte Cristo just came to a screeching halt while Edmond delivers a monologue about how much he loves cannabis, and honestly, extremely accurate depiction of a Pot Bro.

I never understood why they didn't come to an arrangement with the Baku where, like, the Federation gets to access one continent of the Planet That Heals Everything And Is Only Inhabited By A Few Hundred People, and in exchange protect it from the many bad guys in space.

I've been dealing with a caterer for work. It's a side hustle for her, and she just sent me an org chart for an architectural firm instead of a quote. Followed quickly by apologies, but GIRL, WE ARE ALL IN THE TRENCHES RIGHT NOW.

My actual Division 12 pitch is a series of comics where a bunch of original characters investigate mysterious space stuff, but also the lead character quietly investigates their Director, Gabriel Lorca, whose record is almost entirely redacted.

Reposting cos I have a pair, and I recommend them to EVERYONE.

Good news, everyone! Audible says they've got the new Alexandre Dumas novel in!

“A candy corn dressed as a ghost! What a cute idea for Halloween decor!” And you would be right … unless the ghostie’s top is pointy. Then you’ve gone and invented Klandy Korn, and no one needs that.

I'm currently reading An Academic Affair by @jodimca.bsky.social and it's the very first time I've read a romance novel and thought, "Oh, I want THAT." Not the romance. Postgraduate study. (The romance is good too! Just not something I personally need in my life.)

Last week, Strange New Worlds did Jurassic Park and this week it did Event Horizon, and I'm not saying that Akiva Goldsman murdered Sam Neill as part of a viral marketing project, but this isn't the season's final nod to the work of a beloved performer who recently passed away.

My grandparents were born in the 1930s, so, not much…

Flawless

Fascinated by this quote from the director of “Valles Marineris” via the TrekMovie podcast, cos, well

Day 2 of cutting back on caffeine: instead of my third cup of Earl Grey and my mid-morning coffee, I have had a cup of chamomile tea and a milk arrowroot biscuit. They did not hit the spot.

Great. We're being governed by an @ifbookspod.bsky.social episode.

It's New Star Trek Day here, so I'm gonna warn you all that this week's Strange New Worlds has some, uh, self-mutilation going on. If you're squeamish. (I AM squeamish, and cannot give much info beyond "...fingers?")

Benefits of having a South Asian GP: of course I can have chai. No, there's no need to stop seasoning my meals, just have antacids on hand. On the other hand, no tea on an empty stomach. This is gonna be a huge lifestyle change.

I'm supposed to cut back on caffeine due to this gastritis malarkey, and LET ME TELL YOU, I am fanging for a coffee right now.
