Bother that cat.

Like, the bad guy in it is just misguided but the gatekeepers are the consistently obnoxious ones in it. Watching it in 2018 is something alright.

Watching Spy Kids 3 earlier and it's scary how on the nose it gets awful videogame nerd gatekeeping.

Must be this one.

Turns out it's a different Garfield behind Magic: The Gathering, not this one. You learn something every day.

Kid's already got enough on their plate trying to be themselves without throwing in Unknowable All Seeing Magical Beard Dude judging them from afar.

It's so much harder with the youngest because the entire world seems to work on the Christmas! Surprises! Better be good for Santa! and that's entirely the opposite of what they *need* every single day.

The routine being upturned through holidays is already stressful.

Only *counts* more days to Xmas and this nightmare is over for another year.

This is so wearing for all of us, youngest included. (Probably more for them). Even with years of practice at this and getting the eldest to a point where they can relax as Xmas approaches, I still feel entirely out of my depth.

Obviously won't be as active as my hellbird account as it won't be taking submissions but I just fancied another mild timesink that wasn't on Twitter for a bit.

Finally got round to popping my NMS pics account up on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/picsfromnomanssky/

Dread bedtimes at the mo as no matter what we do, the youngest will do whatever it takes to cause chaos. Just end up exhausted, every single time.

I should probably capitalise The Void in this case, mind.

I award them both glitter out of ten.

Ok. So most of the album was shite but the two great songs are *really* great.

"Here's my gift to you, a soundtrack to the void" still gets me as the most Manics' Manics lyric and in 2018 too. Didn't expect that.

No idea where I'm going with this. I'm just typing shit whilst watching Footloose.
