The Vast of Night, 2019 - ★★★
I really wanted to love this, but ended up just liking it. The middle is tense and exciting but it is bookended by what feels like filler. It has the feeling of style over substance.
New post: Re-mapping my keyboard and re-wiring my brain
In which I relate moving to the BEAKL15 keyboard layout, and swapping from Vim keybindings in Emacs to the Boon package.
New post: The joy of the usual route
In which I talk about my daily lockdown walk.

I’ve been rewatching the 1995 TV adaptation of ‘Pride and Prejudice’ with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle. I had forgotten just how much time Firth spends just smouldering in the first few episodes. He doesn’t have many lines, but his smouldering is world class.
Father Ted meets the Exorcist! The emphasis is firmly on the comedy in this comedy/horror, but it was exactly the laugh we needed this weekend. Great characters and some fabulous lines, with a 1980s aesthetic that hit the spot brilliantly. If you are a fan of Garth Marenghi’s Dark Place, you’ll probably like this too.
