Tarkovsky said it best.

I realise my preference of who wins races in the #WinterOlympics is based on who has the better costumes. “Ooh, nice boots. I want him to win.”

Got this copy of Nils Frahm’s Paris live LP for a third off from Vinylstore Jr in Canterbury. It’s an amazingly quiet pressing. #Vinyl

This is a marvellous time sink. Frustrating and addictive. Thanks Ben 🙄 @TheBreadmonkey@beige.party @TheBreadmonkey@beige.party

In the men’s curling one of the GB team is called Hammy. I presume it’s short for Hamantha. #WinterOlympics

There should be a decathlon/heptathlon in the #WinterOlympics. First day: ice dance, 10km speed skating, snowboard big air, biathlon, ski jumping.
Second day: Skeleton, snowboard cross, bobsleigh, then 10 sheets of curling, before a few rounds of halfpipe. Last one standing is the winner.

If I’ve learned one thing from these #WinterOlympics it’s that when a commentator says an athlete “has a lot of work to do” it means they are about to finish dead last.

There are some wild things in this story. @unseenjapan@famichiki.jp @unseenjapan@famichiki.jp

@TheBreadmonkey@beige.party Just watched the men’s 10km cross-country skiing in the Lympics. The winning time was 22 mins. Now wondering whether I should wear skies for my next ParkRun. 🤔

If anyone doesn’t have tens of thousands of pounds to buy a Jupiter 8 #synth, the new iPad app from Audiokit Pro, Super J8, is only eight quid until the end of February. It’s full of great sounds, arps, and it massively tweakable. You can pretend you’re Nick Rhodes from the comfort of your own home. Now, where did I put my cerise silk suit and white jazz shoes?

#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched Close - Beautiful desperately sad film about grief and the pressure to conform. Terrific performances all round. Rachel Gets Married - One of the most annoying films I’ve seen in a long time. Can everybody just shut up?! An Asian Ghost Story - Curious enjoyable speculative doc about haunted wigs, by way of colonialism, Communist China hair-export bans, and made-up Dutch scientists doing stone-tape-type experiments with hair. The Running Man - Lumpen po-faced remake with all the political subtlety of a sledgehammer to the head. Dismal. #Films #Movies
