I love the comment about Brand X in this Guardian article. X marks… what?
But the name reads more like the residue of too much time spent watching product comparison TV adverts than it does proof of genuine creativity. (Also: wasn’t Brand X always the crappier option?)
Second viewing of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds S2E7 Those Old Scientists. The crossover with Lower Decks was so well done and I loved the references to Enterprise NX-01 and crew. Had touches of Lower Decks humour without being out of character for the SNW crew. I want that recruiting poster! 🖖🏻📺
An advantage to working from home is being able to stop earlier and do all the dinner prep. Once it’s in the oven you can get back to work and finish those last few things.
Roast lamb with all the trimmings will be served at 6pm(ish)!
Listening to Barbie: The Album and loving it. To quote the album notes in Apple Music “the soundtrack is full of bangers and clever pop-cultural winks”. 🎵
I really enjoyed Star Trek: Strange New Worlds S2E6. Celia Rose Gooding as Uhura is so good and it was great to see a story focus on her. The interplay between Pelia & Number One, Chapel and Spock, a farewell to Hemmer. That end scene of Uhura, Kirk and Spock was just the best. 🖖🏻📺
I may have found this year’s Christmas present to myself. Babylon 5 series coming to Blu-ray 📺
Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has announced that all five seasons and 110 episodes of J. Michael Straczynski’s legendary sci-fi series “Babylon 5” will be coming to Blu-ray this December 5th.
Had originally set up the free version of Tinylytics but bumped it up to the paid subscription. I don’t really need any of the extras but I generally use @vincent’s Gluon instead of the native m.b app so I see this as my way of helping to contribute to its development.
☕ Monday. I’m going to need more caffeine to face the full day of meetings that lay ahead.
🍽️ Dinner with old friends tonight. There will be the stories of times long past retold over wine. Possibly some outbursts of singing. My soul will be refreshed.
