The fact that there is now a canonically gay Power Ranger... Can't say that I've ever really seen it*, but yeah, that's kinda sweet...
*I was aware of the original show when it aired in the UK (late 90s/earlier 200s?), but don't think I watched it, but have since, along with the film when it came out, watched maybe a dozen or so episodes

Dune 2 is happening! I didn't think the first film was brilliant but it was good enough for me to be interested in a sequel. I wonder if this will lead to more of the books being made into movies? Another cinematic universe perhaps?

www.adelaidefestival.com.au/events/the-picture-of-dorian-gray?utm_medium=display&utm_source=news%20corp&utm_campaign=wm_af22&utm_content=doriangrayIn Australia : "This landmark production from director Kip Williams and actor Eryn Jean Norvill is a fresh reimagining of Oscar Wilde’s classic tale of self-obsession. This re-imagining of The Picture of Dorian Gray is a lush period drama in knowing conversation with the here and now. Williams’ audacious use of live and pre-recorded video allows Norvill to play all 26 characters simultaneously: it’s theatrically alive and loaded with zeitgeist resonance. Wilde’s study of the corrupting effects of obsessive self-regard and the relationship between worth and appearance leaps across the century to speak straight to us today. Williams and Norvill’s long-standing collaborative relationship, amplified by some of our finest designers and technicians, finds perfect expression in this brilliantly inventive show that will simply take your breath away. An Australian landmark, not to be missed." So the actress Eryn Jean Norvill is going to play 26 characters? I would love to see this..!

My Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate Edition review is out on Amazon.
But is the game a flawless victory or fatality?

Cold and dark day today. I will huddle down with some hot tea and bright light and trying to make some progress in painting my Warhammer squad of Gaunt's Ghosts (heroes of some of my favorite military Sci-Fi novels). While listening to the new River Song release. And tonight, it is family time with a birthday dinner (my aunt) at the best Vietnamese restaurant of my home town. Then travel home with my parents for more family time tomorrow.

Give me the colder climate any day. The hot babe in Home & Away called Felicity the cops sister if you could arrange a date with her for me i could be persuaded to risk the heat.

Another 30C day.. Black clouds and huge lightning strikes next to my bus stop at 6:15am today, nothing like being surrounded by metal poles and a metal bus stop you are standing under in the rain. Big hail stones as well today, huge thunder shook my work building, only 1 quick power outage at 7:30am.. Fun times today!

I hope you were safe with the terrible weather aussiedoctorwhofan. The photos you sent were terrifying.. NJ has been hit hard this year as well. I haven't slept a wink all night. I'm in the UK visiting a friend, it's 6:45 AM and I've been up all night. It's not the jet lag, I've been here since Saturday and I haven't had a problem. Just cant seem to get comfortable tonight. And it's a small flat so I don't want to wake them up. Ugh. I'll try again in a bit.

Thanks, safe and sound- my car is ok- it's out the front all day everyday- no hail specifically in my suburb.. The northern suburbs got 101% smashed- mango sized hail, all the Insurance companies put out a blanket statement at lunchtime today basically saying "2 week wait"..everyone is calling up to make a claim for car damage..
I have been listening to relaxation/meditation/white noise for about 30 years now to try and soothe the savage beast which is me..Try some "Neptune Towers" or "Sandstorm on Mars" (they actually record sounds). I crash hard every night.
Hope you get some ZZZZZ's !

Having awful nightmares about my dad, he's dying but he's home & i am all alone.
Dad is losing his memory & acting crazy i try calm him but nothing works, then the paramedics stabilize him & there's a old lady sitting outside his bedroom saying I'll take care of him.
I literally woke up shaking & crying this morning, awful dream.

Being very frustrated. Several of my friends fall into the "anti-vaccination" spectrum and during the past few days, I had some heated battles on Facebook. I am a scientist, and I am just massively frustrated. I have de-friended several people. And although I have been friends with her for a long time, I have now challenged her to de-friend me. I have no patience or pity left to give.
