It’s the weekend and whatnot
Just for fun, let's imagine I'm not drinking? Yeah, didn't work did it? 🙂 🙂 Surprise ... It's Sunday night I fucking earned this Cab Sav. How, you say?

Have you noticed …?
This has been going on for a while now, but, fuck me, it's pretty annoying to a certain age group (mine). The thing is ... When you say "I'm working on myself."

No … Continue reading The One I Love
Blindspot cross-over
Howdy. I've been binge watching Blindspot on Neon. I knew I'd love it. It's 100% up my alley. What I didn't realise was how much would be familiar to me, tech and also story wise. Clearly the writers had some serious fun with this series. Anyway, I was watching the other day and someone said … Continue reading Blindspot cross-over
