It came up so often I started to refer to it as ‘Stegometrics’.

7:42 am

“If you want the legs of a Stegosaurus, you have to train like a Stegosaurus” «< This is a thought that sleeping-me thought so hilarious that it recurred in every dream fragment I can remember through the night.

7:41 am

Still just a garage roof, Mr Gull. He squints at me with inhuman rage.

1:19 pm

The gulls. The gulls have returned with the rain. Random bits of the house knocked on and bullied in case they’re maybe food now.

1:13 pm

Hiberno-English over-pronoun-ing seems to help weirdly well when memorising which verbs are reflexive in French: ‘sit yourself down’, ‘get yourself to bed’, ‘get yourself up in the morning’, ‘hurry yourself up’…

8:00 am

Completely vertical, like-pebbles-on-the-roof rain.

11:00 am

“Josh, go to your office, and come up with a secret plan to fight inflation"

Phenomenally niche, but 😍 for those with the need. So many paint bottle holders! https://threadboards.com/index.php

9:00 am

Cannot overstate how wild it is, coming from resin printing, to have a successful first print (which I can also immediately handle, with my human hands) within around 30 minutes of unboxing the Bambu A1 Mini.

My Bambu A1 mini has shipped 🎉 It’ll be nice to have a way to print non-painting stuff in a way that won’t shatter into a thousand pieces under a hard stare.

12:40 pm

One of the tracks that sometimes comes up in this random playlist gives me the same quick spike of soul-hurt as (weirdly) the intro theme to sci-fi series Raised by Wolves. It’s just only just registered: same vocalist, Mariam Wallentin.

3:25 pm

Been a weird day for my search history. It’d be a significantly weirder one if I followed the suggestion.

Recently bought Animal Well after listening to (thankfully) the vaguest possible Besties podcast about it, so was expecting a bit of inscrutability.

‘Wow, these weird glitched screens where you need to really study the map and just inch your way across in absolute blindness are a bit hardcore’.

Dear reader: the game isn’t available for the Mac, so I was playing it via emulation. The glitches aren’t actually supposed to be there. I was too spoilerphobic to google it until about 5 hours in.

2:21 pm

A baby Jack Black was in an episode?! 🤯

4:33 pm

I’ve heard the Weird Al version so many times that Gangster’s Paradise just sounds wrong to me now. See also: Ridin’ Dirty.

10:06 am

One of this morning’s background tracks while working cut a little more deeply than expected…

🎵

I saw a photograph, Cologne in ‘27And then a postcard after the bombs in ‘45Must’ve been a world of evil clowns that let it happenBut now I recognise, dear listenersThat you were there and so was I– Port of Morrow, The Shins

7:56 am

Michael J. Anderson in Season 2! In the first episode I remember being self-awarely comedic too. Really makes me wish there’d been more Carnivàle.

6:22 pm

Getting massive Professor Professorson vibes from John Savage in the Død Kalm episode of X-Files… and this may be the nichest possible toot.

1:03 pm

The subtle skill of backtracking in micro-bursts through whole unrecognised tracts of the audiobook I fell asleep listening to, without accidentally spoiling something for myself.

7:29 am

I think a cat may just have been demolished and scattered to the winds by a gang of seagulls on my roof. Or a group of large, rowdy men may just live there now.
