I just finished listening to "How to Kill a Crime Writer" by Sarah Lotz. It may only have been out for a few weeks & it may still only be March, but I'm sure this will end up being my favourite book the year. Simply brilliant.
Great narration by Ashley Tucker too.

Last night's gig by Ian Prowse, Ian McNabb, and Brian Nash was incredible - even better than the previous week in London. Hearing Nasher sing "The Power of Love" in a church was particularly special.

I managed to pick up a copy of the setlist, and then have it signed by all three.

Today is the anniversary of the Castle Bravo thermonuclear weapon test at Bikini Atoll. The bomb was bigger than expected and the fish vessel Daigo Fukuryumaru was caught up in its fallout. The test also helped lead to the creation of #Godzilla.

As I continue the process of coming off antidepressants (which I started last April and will continue for at least a few more months), I find this (edited) clip from "Star Trek: First Contact" resonating, though anxiety isn't all I have to contend with.

The N700S Series Shinkansen Further to my post about the N700A series shinkansen, I can also now do a post about the N700S series shinkansen. As noted in the post about the N700A, when I did my original ranking of my favourit…

Damn, you're right. I walked along that road a couple of years ago when visiting Montreal.

Someone has pointed out that the red one may be a Lotus. I think it gets referred to as both in the film, but I wasn't really paying attention (on the car or the film, which is very poor).

That the Saab was blown up, and the Ferrari was shot at, I'll take as a sign that I bought the correct one!
