Notes
Just fleeting thoughts that pop into my mind. Or perhaps things I’ve been thinking about that don’t really warrant a full-on post.

Friday the 13th part 3
Friday the 13 part 3 was a lot of fun. I didn’t enjoy it quite as much on the whole as I did part 2, but it was still a great ride. And it was great to finally see Jason don his infamous hockey mask. I found myself wondering about the director’s taste when I…

Deleted my Google account
It’s been a long time coming, but I have finally deleted my Google account. Good riddance.

You know what? Fuck Google. Just when I think I couldn’t hate them more. Exporting my previous uploaded music (about 100gb worth) from their Play Music service. Do they put the songs into Artist / Album folders? Nope. Instead they package it up into 54 zipped folders and stick random songs along with loads of…

Nymphetamine album — Cradle of Filth
Released in 2004, this is one of my favourite albums from my younger days. Thanks to a work mate, my love for this band has been re-ignited. I have been listened to their albums lots over the past couple of weeks, but this one has stood out to me above most. Possibly helped along from…

So the whole “No mask no entry” rule in #tesco is basically bullshit. Every time I’m in there I see at least one person not wearing one.

Sorting through and moving all of my photos from google photos into ProtonDrive. In preparation for finally deleting my google account once and for all. ProtonDrive offers encrypted storage that perfectly meets my needs — secure storage that actually cares about privacy.

Ellie has been cast in Last of Us TV Series
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/last-of-us-game-of-thrones-breakout-bella-ramsey-to-star-as-ellie I think this is a great choice — she was great in Game of Thrones and that strength of character I can see playing Ellie.
