Things I enjoyed
- Though not particularly ‘dark skinned’, Jacob Elordi is well suited to the role of surly sweaty gigahunk.
- An unashamed fanfic quality which I found amusing.
It honestly felt as if it had been dreamt up by a horny teenager on tumblr at points.
Things I didn’t enjoy
- The whole thing had a music video gloss which made the landscape feel incidental.
It felt like a set not something the characters actually inahbited.
Even when they were banging on the moors they didn’t seem to get muddy.
This was a problem for me.
- Fundamentally, once you got past the visual glitz and knowingly executed tropes it felt completely emotionally empty.
Given that it’s a film about the enduring power of passionate undying love this was also a major problem.
Things that intrigued me
- Jacob Elordi doing the same accent as Christian Bale in The Prestige.
Verdict
48 heaving bosoms out of 100

I like to watch twitch streams.
Watching them in the browser at twitch.tv is generally not an experience which sparks joy though.
I’m buffering.
I’m declining cookies.
I’m getting spammed with notifications to claim a sick new overwatch skin.
There’s a little channel point button twerking for me to click it.
You get the idea; it’s a heavy noisy experience.

As is traditional with people hosting their own blog I’m going to do a post detailing EXACTLY how I’m hosting my blog.
Down to the last dirty detail.
I have nothing better to talk about.

I’ve recently been messing around with writing neovim plugins.
When I initially got going I found it a little tricky to know how to get started.
There’s the official neovim docs which are great; but in my beginner experience exhaustive to the point of slight impenetrability.
Beyond that, the thing I found most useful was simply reading the source of some popular plugins to get an idea of how things worked.
I would recommend sticking to plugins with a smaller scope though.

I recently started fiddling around with home-managerifying my neovim config.
After moving across most of my stuff I came across the problem of how to hook things up with with nix-colors so that my neovim theme would follow color changes in home-manager.
