Finished reading: Star Wars: The Princess and the Scoundrel by Beth Revis 📚
I had a couple of great chuckles at moments I could definitely see happening in the days after Return of the Jedi.
But it was a bit romancey for me. A bit too much of Han and Leia doubting themselves at every second turn, only to gaze into the other’s eyes before remembering they really do belong together.

I have completely lost this past week to illness. No work done, very little entertainment enjoyed. Just a week of phlegm and coughing.
-
This game did not go well for us. Too many expensive cards up front we couldn’t afford, devastating our ability to recover dark arts attacks.
It was devastating.

I’ve been testing an air purifier for work for a couple of weeks now and… I think I love it? I was a bit skeptical going in, but the air seriously just feels better around the home.

Finished reading: Thrawn: Treason (Star Wars) by Timothy Zahn 📚
Finally got to read this - the boy was reading it so slowly before me. Couple of days later and I’m done.
It was good. I feel like the sequel trilogy would have been much better having continued the threat of the Grysks over a cloned Emperor, but I also wonder if any of this will make it into Ahsoka.
-
I’ve been so busy working the past couple of weeks I’ve forgotten to spend time blogging on here. Will try and turn that around.
-
This feature on Ahsoka in the latest issue of Empire has me so very, very excited. I want to temper my expectations, but I’m expecting perfection and that’s hard to ease back from.
-
I enjoyed this enough. I thought Ariel was great, as were Sebastian and Scuttle. But Eric, Flounder and Ursula were all a bit meh.
But I don’t feel like there was anything added here to the original. That said, wife and daughter absolutely loved it, so maybe I’m just a bit too harsh.

My son’s tech assessment on Friday is cooking up a burger, so he had a practice run through cooking for the family tonight. It was really good!

Finished reading: Thrawn: Alliances (Star Wars) by Timothy Zahn 📚
Interesting book. I think he captured Vader quite well, but I sometimes had to reread something with James Earl Jones’ voice in my head to make it feel right.
Looking forward to the next one now.

It’s been so long since I watched this I had forgotten how much I enjoyed it. Great movie. Lays a lot of groundwork for_Frozen,_ too.

Today I went and had a briefing on a new coffee machine at the De’Longhi Coffee Lounge. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it involved drinking a number of coffees. I didn’t quite drink enough to be able to see through space and time, but I reckon I came close.
Also I now have one of these machines to review. Look out world.
-
Today was an epic day of back to back events and meetings. It get good to be getting myself back out there.
-
Yeah, I freakin’ loved Guardians Vol 3. They weren’t saving the Galaxy, they were saving each other, and also the Galaxy along the way.
Now give me 23 episodes of Rocket and crew saving small time aliens around the universe, Disney!
-
Could barely keep my eyes open I was so bored… but it was still better than The Wild.
-
Finally got to Kara’s favourite Disney movie. She’s very happy.
It took us years to watch this when it first came out. I think we were so jaded by the poor quality of the Disney movies before this one came out, so we never got around to it.
But we missed out, because this is great.
-
Today I tried to set up Google ad manager on BTTR. It… did not go as planned.
Now to decide whether I should invest the time to learn how to use it, or just outsource it.
I guess it will come down to cost.
-
I enjoyed this more than I remembered. Not as strong as some of the later princess movies like Tangled and Frozen and Moana, but still enjoyable.
-
For the second time in the past month, (and probably the fourth or fifth time since they moved in), my neighbour’s bins weren’t collected.
After 9 months, you would think they would realise they have been putting them out backwards. 🤦🏻
