I’m having a sick day at home so I can stick around and check on mum who’s also caught my cold.She’s asleep at the moment, so I’ve been watching the 2015 Amy Winehouse documentary in bed. There’s a scene where, after what feels like a lifetime of ups and downs, she finally gets to meet and sing with her idol, Tony Bennett. I cried at her humility, and at Bennett’s gentle advice and reassurance towards her. If only she’d received the same from her father.

I also got really emotional when, after she died, Bennett said a lot of things that she probably really needed to hear from someone like him: that she was valued, that she deserved to be protected; all in stark contrast to the way she was thrown to the dogs by the media when she was alive.Anyway: it’s a really good insight into her life as a whole, and her trajectory is established clearly and sensitively by those in the film who were close to her. I recommend it a lot.

From Salon: “‘Amy’ is built from loads of archival footage and dozens of interviews, almost too many, that add up to an immensely nuanced portrait well beyond “doomed rock ’n’ roll junkie.” For one thing, alcohol had much more to do with Winehouse’s death than heroin did. Far more important, Kapadia tries to recover Winehouse as an extraordinary musical talent – very nearly a prodigy – and a natural songwriter, who was not well suited to the content mill of 21st-century pop music.”

In a positive update, here’s a nice cheap game card case that I got from Ebay, to store all my pokeymans.

@carbontwelve I’ve just started Fantasy Life, and I’m looking forward to not rushing myself through it like I do with most linear games. Anyway, this was really nice to read because I like contemplative gaming toots.

A $7 bag of muesli I bought, made by some wealthy lady from the Northern Beaches, tastes exactly the same as my old $4 box of muesli that was made by a couple of hippies.Revolution now!

@lynnesbian I only learned about the OUYA like last week and I’m still stunned by its existence.
