🎮 Played/Read/Watched
- The crane wife by CJ Hauser
- Ted Lasso series 3: was a fun watch as usual, and I enjoyed the ending 😊
- Grace and Frankie series 7: was a fun series, but I think I’m kinda done with this show.
- CODA: really enjoyed this one, I love Marlee Matlin, so was treat to see her as a lead.
- Jury Duty: I started watching this cause the premise was funny, but I kinda trailed off halfway.
- Atlanta series 3: this series had a bit more abstract / disconnected stories, but I really enjoyed them, as well as the main character stories, which were great as usual.
- Fire of love: this is a beautiful documentary! I knew nothing about them or much about vulcanology, so it was really interesting, and all the imagery is very striking.
- Boom for Real: The Late Teenage Years of Jean-Michel Basquiat: very interesting doc about how Basquiat started his career, and the people who surrounded him at the time.
- Me before you: this was a sad romcom of sorts, but both leads were great in it, it was a good watch.
- Finished God of War: well kinda, still need to kill the Valkyrie Queen and the Berserker King, but I got a little distracted by Zelda so I’ll do it later. This was great fun, the story was good, and there’s nothing more cathartic than cleaving monsters in half with a big fuck off axe 🤷♀️
- Suits: wanted some easy background TV, and this fit the bill. It was most fun at the start, and then it jumped the shark a couple of times.
- Nothing drains you like mixed emotions by Arthur C. Brooks
- Smiling to death: the hidden dangers of being ‘nice’ by Joanna Cheek
- How this woman creates God of War’s sound effects - WIRED
- The Royal Tenembaums: this is Jonathan’s fave and I hadn’t seen it, so we watched it together, it was a really fun watch 💛
- Make love not war: talking with the creator of the first software easter egg by “Critical Kate” Willaert
- Horizon Forbidden West: Burning shores: I freaking love horizon, so any excuse to play more is a treat, plus we got 🌈 GAY ALOY 🌈
📸 Pics
![Collage of pictures from April: a nice sunset in my local park, blue orange skies and a flat grassy field, shot through the branches of a cherry blossom; me smiling at the camera sat outside a bottle shop having a beer; my dog Juno, a black fluffy german shepherd sat in the park with his eyes closed and sticking his tongue out just a tiny bit; Juno again, lying down and looking up at the camera with big eyes; a candlelit pint of craft beer at Mikkeler; a picture of the Triangirls event, you can see the Triangirls logo on the big screen and the women in the panel sat by it, as well as a big crowd; a close up of Juno biting onto his orange frisbee, looking a little deranged; my new car, a second hand blue mini countryman; a delicious looking detroit style pizza, fluffy and topped with vegetables, olives, and tonnes of parmesan; Jonathan, a tall bearded dark haired white man, standing in front of a huge colourful mural, composed of eyes and noses and leaves, at the Gilbert and George museum; my friend Anna and her bowl of ramen at a restaurant, she's covering her face with her hands; the web crew at Monzo, a bunch of lovely people on a group shot in the office; my ipad with the crosswords open and a coffee with latte art at a café; a picture of my legs, wearing jeans and socks while I'm sat on the sunny deck, there's a red watering can to the side and Juno's resting his head on my shins; Juno sat upright on his bed in the fireplace, looking slightly odd; a bowl of white rice and crispy tofu with gochujang sauce, served with some charred broccoli.](/_astro/april.4kKKO0Wk_ABr3J.webp)
