New pin getting an outing today and yes I’m wearing a check jacket with a check shirt. Come at me 😀

An enamel badge of Astro Boy, the manga character. It’s pinned to a blue check jacket and a dark check shirt is visible under the jacket.

Thirty years since Star Trek: Generations was released in cinemas. One of the few movies I’ve lined up to see at the opening session. 🖖🏻

Pretty good and cheap transit in from Melbourne airport as always.

Wheels down at 17:23 -> taxi to gate -> walk outside and straight on to the Skybus ($24) -> free tram ($0) -> short walk ($0) -> at hotel in the city at 18:48.

📺 Finished watching The Penguin (2024) ★★★★

A rectangular image with a review of the television series The Penguin (Season 1). The show poster is on the left and the review on the right side. Across the bottom is a rating of Poor Okay Good Great with Good selected. The review reads: I thoroughly enjoyed this. Set immediately after the end of the 2022 Batman movie it’s completely stand alone and you don’t need to know anything about Gotham, Batman or any other bit of the DC universe. I described it to people as gritty. A few odd moments in terms of his relationship with his mother were the only parts I thought could’ve been done differently. I definitely didn’t see the ending coming but on reflection it was very much in keeping with the story arc and the development of the character into the Penguin.

One of the big four Australian banks declares a $7b profit in the middle of a cost of living crisis but watch the media obsess for another week about flight upgrades for the PM and how out of touch it makes him.

🚶 My niece and I are going for “hot girl walk” as I’m substituting for the friend she normally walks with. Apparently “grumpy uncle walk” doesn’t have the same ring to it.

📺 Finished watching Agatha All Along (2024) ★★★½

A rectangular image with a review of the television series Agatha All Along (Season 1). The show poster is on the left and the review on the right side. Across the bottom is a rating of Poor Okay Good Great with Good selected. The review reads: The Marvel TV series on Disney+ have generally been better than the Star Wars ones and this lived up to expectations. A good stand alone show with no need for Marvel knowledge or backstory. Kathryn Hahn played Agatha perfectly. The dry humour hits the right note and not played for comedy laughs but to help show the schemer at heart Agatha is. You can watch this and have a fun time. with the song (you'll know which one) stuck in your head for ages after.

📺 Finished watching Only Murders in the Building (Season 4, 2024) on Disney+ ★★★★

A rectangular image with a review of the television series Only Murders in the Building (Season 4). The show poster is on the left and the review on the right side. Across the bottom is a rating of Poor Okay Good Great with Good selected. The review reads: Despite all the guest stars this season, and there were many, it’s the three leads who make this show. They have clearly settled into working together and playing off each other. Some lovely moments with Charles remembering Sazz, interspersed with the quirky madness of Jan reappearing, and then the comedic genius of Oliver holding his iPad up as a light and yelling at it. The season took its familiar path, with all signs pointing towards something then a pivot in episode eight leading towards a different resolution in the final episode and the hook for the next season. Can’t wait for season five!

Well the polls have just closed so it’s time to have some dinner and settle in to watch the results come in. Here’s hoping my fellow Queenslanders have done the smart thing and not put the right wing nuts onto the government benches. 🤞🏻
