Site Update (January 2025)
—
I’ve been pretty lazy when it comes to this website in recent years, barely bothering with doing much more than using one of the basic WordPress templates (currently a modified version of “Twenty Twenty-Four”), and just sharing the occasional post, mostly about my movie watching.

PauseTalk Vol. 93
PauseTalk Vol. 93 was held on Thursday, December 12 at Bananafish New HQ, with a group that was ready to talk and drink (well, I might have done most of the drinking).
