    PauseTalk Vol. 95

    PauseTalk Vol. 95 was held on Thursday, March 20 at Bananafish Books, and it ended up being a bit of a strange one – attendance was low, with only five of us joining the session (and we were only four for a good chunk of it). After the fact it seems that a few regulars…

    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.
