Anduin

Today I'm going on holiday. I should be back in late May. While I'm gone, I'm going to try and avoid both news and social media. Try not to have too much fun without me, or miss me too much. :) Bye!

Yep, thanks!

Yeah, I'm going to take a dip in the North Sea during a spring that I hear isn't actually happening yet. :) No, I'm not not much of a swimmer these days. If I need gloves I'll buy them over there. I'm still here for a couple more hours. Anyway, thanks for your help, everyone!

Around five weeks. I should be back by June unless something goes wrong. Yes to all of the above. But which shoes to I wear on the plane? The newer but heavier ones, or the lighter ones with a bit more give?

Britain & Ireland. Yes, yes, yes, my hair is too short. :)

I'm flying international tomorrow. This is my checklist. My travelling companion is handling the tickets. Have I forgotten anything? 8 t-shirts 3 Long sleeve shirts 4 trousers 8 boxers 8 socks 1 sleep shirt 1 pjs Tooth brush Deodorant Razor

Funded! Looks like the next update will contain ship-to-ship combat. While I want more ship to roam around in, I'm not that enthused about shooting. Ah well, hopefully it'll include more ship to play in as well.

I wish Daisy Ridley's other work grabbed me. I like her, she deserves a good career. But to be honest, I just want her to put her hair back in the buns, get in the spaceship, and pick up the lightsabre again. She's allowed to have a different hairstyle, but the rest is non-negotiable. :)

Carano! Of course. She'd be a natural fit for this hypothetical company. But drug/concussion problems? There've already been a few trials about that. While he survived with his job intact the other times, he might not be so lucky again.

Yeah. There have to be some wrestlers who'd go for it, but big names not locked down by contract? I can't see it happening. Maybe if he bought into an established company with a few like-minded middle-level wrestlers, then promoted it far and wide among conservatives. Well, we'll see what happens in the next year or so.

Given this is about Vince McMahon, sex offender, I suppose this belongs here. Anyway, could he start another pro wrestling company? The answer is maybe. But he'll be 79 by then, does he still have the drive? The energy? Where would he get the money from? Who would perform? Who would go to see the shows? Would any network air the shows? Answering my own question, if he calls it something like the Anti Woke Wrestling Federation, he could probably get money from rich conservatives. And some wrestlers share those politics, they might be interested. Some audience members too. As for airing, some kind of pay to stream. But at the same time, there are a dozen indie wrestling companies out there. Many are long established. The level of IWA-MS or CZW, I mean. He'd have to conquer those opponents before aiming for the B tier, your TNA or AEW level. Or maybe with some money he buys into one of those established indies and starts reshaping it in his own image. No, I'm not supporting him in any way. I'm posting here because I doubt that anyone who matters will see it. He deserves to suffer the consequences of his own actions. The wrestling industry is better off without him.

While I'm prepared to believe there's a thousand episodes of NCIS shows now, I have watched none of them. I couldn't tell you the content of a single episode. I'm not slamming the fans or anything like that, it's just odd to realise that for something apparently popular enough to go this long, I know nothing about it.

More Treknology in real life, a bunch of AI nitwits try to invent the comm badge. Sounds like it doesn't work half as well. I'm extremely doubtful they'll even get it to half ever. That won't stop Humane from charging a zillion dollars for the privilege, but I can't imagine that I'd ever use such a thing.

So this is funny. The band Slayer retired in 2019. In the time between then and now, I wondered if any of the individual members would go on to other projects, or stay out of action. Today, YT graced me with a music video from Kerry King, guitarist and songwriter. It doesn't quite sound like Slayer, because of the other people having their own styles, but it's pretty close. Turns out, he and his cohorts have an album coming out soon. Furthermore, Wikipedia tells me that Slayer are indeed getting back together. Just for a few festival shows, or is there a new album in the works? Anyway, Residue is a damn good tune if you like metal.

Do you want a deepfake or someone else? As good as Dawson was, I'd prefer someone else.
