Time for Star Wars!

Thor: Ragnarok was excellent.

Holiday over, back to reality next week!

I should really get a record player to actually play all my Radiohead records. Radiohead OKNOTOK Vinyl

Such a nice day! Photo of blue sky

I was not expecting it to be actually hot out right now. You know, like it should be in summer.

I look forward to when we eventually get all this AR technology in a regular pair of glasses.

Majora's Mask

I just finished Majora’s Mask on the 3DS this weekend. It was fantastic again although my memory of half of the game from the N64 version was nearly completely gone.

I clearly remember the first half of the game; the first two dungeons. The second half I have nearly no memory of. I remember a lot of the side quests, and definitely getting the very last mask before.

I find it strange not remembering half of a game but I suspect I only played it through once rather than, for example, the many times I played though Ocarina of Time on the N64.

Song: Black Skeletons

Hype Machine is a great place to find some really good new music (they have a Spotify app with some featured playlists to make it really easy to listen). Sure it’s not all to my taste but sometimes there is a great one that won’t leave my head.

Black Skeletons by Chin Injeti is one such song. It’s the first single from his upcoming album The Reverb, which I am now very interested to hear when it arrives.
