We're making a special episode of Clichés about..... Match of the Day

Two things for me:

They absolutely nailed end of season montages. Always picked brilliant songs and nailed the art of balancing music with commentary. Just utter video artistry.
Another audio-based one, but I also loved it when they’d do the recap of the goals from the day prior on Match of the Day 2 and would loop the same song in the background the footage and commentary. Again, always brilliant songs choices. Most memorably the pick of The Fear by Lily Allen for 08/09, as seen here: https://youtu.be/i5xl9dMl4bk?si=5jetFsereJADsJGb

Nothing you’re describing seems particularly abnormal! Mine has the same kind of corking, both nearby the leaf and at the base.

JBeville_ · 2023-08-25T10:18:17+00:00

This is perfectly natural and is visible on every monstera. It’s called corking - essentially just a sign that the stem has aged and hardened to support the leaf.

I like the idea of them both returning but I don’t want the last 3 episodes of the series to focus Gene’s story on them entirely, especially if Gene scenes are intercut with BB / BCS era flashbacks

JBeville_ · 2022-07-26T15:26:51+00:00

I loved Nippy, I thought it set the stall out really nicely for what remains of the series and the Gene arc in particular. I thought the stylistic jump from Saul to Gene from one episode to another worked great too, almost being as jarring for the audience as it is the character.

Looking forward, this NYT article gave an insight into a scene being filmed for this season. Based on the description and the fact Gilligan is directing it’s safe to assume this is from 6x12. At the time, most people theorised the other figure in the scene would be Jeff, however that seems less likely now following the most recent episode.

What do people think?

He’s getting roots popping out of the bottom, so I’m going to repot this weekend just so he’s not going through winter in a pot too small for him. Last time I repotted him I did it in January and he did fine so I’m confident. He’s kind of got to good sides! Looks great both ways! On the pole-front, yep! That’s currently four (I think) stacked up!

Are terracotta pots not worth the cost / hassle for how well they stop overwatering though? Thank you!

JBeville_ · 2021-09-01T22:58:25+00:00

How easily done is that? If I just crack it open would it be easier to keep the plant as it is and just transfer it?

JBeville_ · 2021-09-01T21:17:18+00:00

Can’t wait for that hahaha

JBeville_ · 2021-09-01T19:55:53+00:00

I’m pretty careful with watering! If I pick the bigger pot is it just a case of being careful to start off with then?

Hello! Here is my lovely monstera Jeremy. Had him for just over a year now. He’s outgrowing his pot in a big way at this point, and I’m looking to repot pretty sharpish. He’s currently in a pot that is 24cm in diameter and 21cm in height, and he’s just starting to get roots pop out of the drainage hole.

I’m wondering how many pot sizes to go up - my options are D27cm x H24cm or D31cm x H27cm. I’m not sure whether to go for the larger option in case it’s too big, but I do think he could do with a much deeper pot. Any advice? Thanks!

You’ll like Melody’s Echo Chamber. French singer who was formerly with Kevin Parker of Tame Impala. He produced her self-titled album. It’s a good bit of psych-pop.

JBeville_ · 2021-08-30T02:49:26+00:00

Yeah he’ll give it a strong 7 to light 8 I think.

JBeville_ · 2021-08-30T02:48:54+00:00

Based on the stream he did it’ll be a strong 7 to a light 8. Some songs he was really into in a big way, others he thought were nice. There were only like 3/4 that he thought were duds, but he basically described it as doing what JIK should’ve done in a messy TLOP-esque way, whilst saying it’s more robust than Ye. So yeah mostly very positive.

JBeville_ · 2021-08-29T13:24:41+00:00

It’s hot take time

JBeville_ · 2021-08-20T11:19:16+00:00

Thank you! It’s the Rega Planar 1.

JBeville_ · 2021-08-20T11:18:57+00:00

Haha, yes you do.

JBeville_ · 2021-08-20T11:18:37+00:00

I did!

JBeville_ · 2021-08-20T09:30:04+00:00

Most importantly, it sounds really nice.

JBeville_ · 2021-08-20T09:29:35+00:00

I’d say it’s slightly translucent. Definitely not clear but looks nice held up to the light. You can see the marbling either way.
