I watched Unbreakable last night after seeing a YouTube video about how it was edited. I think it’s a little flawed but it is interesting to see the use of long shots.

For the last few months, whenever I see an aurora photo, my first thought is that it’s something to do with Wicked.

Cook the RecipeTin Eats’ 5 Minute Fall-apart Massaman Lamb Shoulder. Make enough for left overs because it’s pure amazement after a night in the fridge.
