Watched The Beautiful Game which wasn’t the greatest movie but I had to because 1) it was football, and 2) I love seeing things like the Homeless World Cup and CONIFA World Cup in popular media (look ‘em up!) ⚽️ #football #footie
Gorgeous day. Went with my wife up to Minoh Falls. Took photos of falls, the river, leaves, the city view, and all the insect illustrations on the public toilets 🐝🪲🚽🤔

Read in 2024: Prophet Song by Paul Lynch 📚
… this wore me out. Emotionally… wrung out. Each chapter he just squeezes, squeezes, squeezes. The characters are so real. Lynch’s writing is very poetic. He uses denominalization heavily. The writing makes everything feel alive, even the dead.

👧🏻: We HAVE to go together. You are supposed to whine and complain about the time and prices and generally be awkward and embarrassed and old. It’s traditional! 😇
