New father, incurable nerd, occasional animator, and recovering Brexit obsessive.
Trying to balance daily joy with existential horror. Not always succeeding.

I could probably live in a world where either democracy is crumbling or the new Star Wars movies suck. But both is just too much. #EndTimes

The "Quick Start Guide" for our new tablet is just a bunch of warnings about removing the battery, and the words "Visit [e-mail] for more."

We have not started, quickly or otherwise.

#Quantumania is thankfully much better than I was bracing myself for. It's just not remotely what I want from an #AntMan movie, and MODOK is so disasterous he almost sinks the entire film.

Feels good to wake up and check election results with excitement instead of dread.

Well, I voted for Mon Mothma.

My heart was with Ackbar, but we have to #VoteTactically to avoid another four years of Palpatine.

Oh shit, am I going to start liking Interstellar?
#DadStuff

[Matthew Hurd Total Landscaping (#FBPE) @Hurdy42]

Sat here bawling at the dumb ending of #WonderWoman1984 because it has Dad Stuff and apparently that works on me now.

Turns out Draco Malfoy is the true ruler of Mandalore. #TheMandalorian

@SuperRetroid

[Matthew Hurd Total Landscaping (#FBPE) @Hurdy42]

This week we learned that if a #Mandalorian kills a child's parent then they can claim that child into the Creed as a "foundling". No red flags there.

I was halfway through telling my wife about the tallest mountain on Coruscant when the thing actually showed up on screen, and somehow she didn't divorce me on the spot for being such a nerd.

"So, everyone's favourite episode of Boba Fett was the one that wasn't even about Boba Fett, right? Well, wait 'til you hear my great idea for episode 3 of #TheMandalorian..."

[Matthew Hurd Total Landscaping (#FBPE) @Hurdy42]

Yup, that checks out. #TwitterDown

[Matthew Hurd Total Landscaping (#FBPE) @Hurdy42]

Both kids slept through 'til 6:15 this morning, and I feel incredible. Is this how normal people feel all the time? Is this how *I* used to feel?? #Parenting

[Matthew Hurd Total Landscaping (#FBPE) @Hurdy42]

Yup.

[Matthew Hurd Total Landscaping (#FBPE) @Hurdy42]

I started tearing up the moment I saw them sat on that bench. The ending's going to destroy me all over again, isn't it. #HisDarkMaterials

@MisterABK My siblings and I had a fantastic kids' book called "A Giraffe and a Half". But it's only now, in our thirties, that we realised it's meant to rhyme.

That Truss line though.

[Matthew Hurd Total Landscaping (#FBPE) @Hurdy42]

Our three-year-old caught me watching #TheBadBatch this evening.

"What's that, Daddy?"
"It's called #StarWars."
"Ooh, I want to watch Star Wars with you!"

He has no idea how much those stupid words meant to me.

"When you're bigger -*sniffle*- I promise."

[Matt Baume @MattBaume]

Ok, so for the next Benoit Blanc film, hear me out:
