Drinks, Shenanigans and a bit of spice
After a hectic week at work, I figured the best way to unwind was with a couple of friends and some cold beers. So, naturally, we made plans to meet up at a local Thai bar for a night of fun.
Wild Tales ★★★★
Wild Tales is a wild ride that’ll make you laugh, cringe, and possibly reconsider your own breaking point. And if you ever find yourself on the edge, just remember—revenge is a dish best served explosively.
Berserker!
Berserker! is like sitting down for a chat with an old friend—one who’s lived through the chaos and come out the other side with plenty of stories to tell, some of them hysterical, others deeply touching, but all of them undeniably human.
F-1 Trillion - Post Malone
Is “F-1 Trillion” Post Malone’s magnum opus? Probably not. But it’s an album that’s brimming with personality, humor, and heart—a testament to Post Malone’s versatility and his unwillingness to be boxed into any one genre. Whether you’re a country die-hard or just along for the ride, this album offers something for everyone, and it does so with a wink, a smile, and just the right amount of swagger.
‘Pastel Southwestern’ Desert Mambas
Pastel Southwestern is like a vintage postcard from a parallel universe where surf rock, country twang, and indie wit collide.
Fallen Angels ★★★
Fallen Angels is more of an experience than a traditional movie—a visually stunning, narratively perplexing ride through Hong Kong’s nocturnal streets. It challenges conventional storytelling and invites you to simply enjoy the journey, just don’t forget to stretch your neck after all those Dutch angles.
‘The Creative Act’ Rick Rubin
If you’ve ever dreamed of being paid obscene amounts of money to sit around, stroke your beard, and occasionally nod thoughtfully while offering vague affirmations like, “Yeah, that’s it,” then Rick Rubin is your new role model.
Surviving Brighton, UK
Brighton was a lovely place, a little crowded and filled with tourists, but as far as sea side towns go, it’s one of the most vibrant that I’ve been to.
‘Deeper Well’ Kacey Musgraves
Kacey Musgraves’ Deeper Well is like a musical retreat into nature—quiet, reflective, and rich with introspection. Swapping the glitzy, genre-blending sound of her past for something more grounded, Musgraves takes us on a journey that’s less about chasing hits and more about finding peace.
Longlegs ★
If you were hoping for the next horror masterpiece, save your money. “Longlegs” is proof that sometimes, the scariest part of a horror movie is how bad it can be.
The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck
The book is self-help for people who can’t help themselves, wrapped in a package of faux enlightenment and sprinkled with F-bombs for seasoning. It's about as useful as a chocolate teapot, but hey, at least it's edgy, right?
Apple Watch Series 9
If you’re looking to take baby steps towards fitness while embracing your inner tech enthusiast, the Apple Watch Series 9 is a solid investment. It’s stylish, functional, and just the right amount of nagging to keep you moving. Plus, it’s a lot cheaper than therapy.
Quo Vadis ★★★★
“Quo Vadis” was a blast—made all the better by great company. So, if you’re in the mood for a history lesson that’s more fun than your eighth-grade textbook, grab a friend, some popcorn, and settle in. Just don’t forget the coffee.
Surviving the Netherlands
Ah, the Netherlands—a land of picturesque canals, endless bicycles, and a populace that seems to have been genetically engineered for friendliness.
MaXXXine ★★★
“MaXXXine” is a mixed bag, but one that horror fans and cinephiles will likely appreciate. It’s a meta, gory, and sometimes hilarious take on Hollywood’s dark underbelly, carried by a standout performance from Mia Goth. It earns a solid 3 out of 5 stars from me – not a must-see, but definitely worth a watch for its unique blend of satire and slasher thrills.
AutoFocus - Lyz Cooper/Canon ★★★★
If you like to listen to music while working, ditch the YouTube junk and get into “AutoFocus.” It’s not just pleasing to the ears; it actually works. Highly recommended.
Atomic Habits
“Atomic Habits” by James Clear is a delightful little manual for anyone who has ever dreamed of being a self-disciplined cyborg. This book is packed with insights that, while obvious in hindsight, are presented with such eloquence that you’ll wonder why you never thought of them before.
