Intellectually promiscuous. Book addict, geek, comedy, rpg, theatre & film fan, seeker of knowledge, lover of stuff & wannabe writer & maker of things! Previously on twitter. No access to DMs.
Need to distract brain & chill before sleep. I have cold milk, a podcast ep & a calming game to play for a few mins. Otherwise brain will try to make me write things.

My rpg round table knight is having another baby & it's another girl. Awh, but also - where have all the even numbers on my dice gone! 😂

They are such a distraction, but my headache is almost gone. 😊

Need to find some words still. 🤨

This is prob a bad plan, but it really is helping my headache. A little more Illya & Napoleon, but I am going to try to write & not get too diatracted. Though the ep I've put on does have some interesting 'roleplay' between Napoleon & Illya, which doesn't feel....entirely innocent.

A California winemaker is struggling to sell his Chardonnay ... so he's written a romantasy novella about it. The novella, unsurprisingly, looks awful.

Ok - 1 more to see if it can push the rest of the headache away & let me finish my writing.

This one they're helping protect a boy religious leader from baddies. Because they're good lads.

Headache is receding. Illya therapy is working...prob also the painkillers, food & squash, but...also Illya! And Napoleon.

Hey here's a really good study that shows trans women not only don't have an advantage but might actually have a disadvantage, I wonder who did the study

Oh, it was the Olympics
There's no excuse for this but hatred and bigotry
They DID this study, they know

I require medicinal, anti-headache entertainment...so it's an Illya heavy ep of Man From UNCLE, at low-ish volume.

Illya is particularly chatty and mysterious in this one. 🥰 And Napoleon is injured, so there at start & end, but not much in between.

Ah - now it's the glass hand ep. This will have to be last one, as need to sleep. But still have a bit of milkshake to finish & should try to get writing a little further on. Almost at the most important bit.

A new super intelligence episode, but can it beat the s1 super intelligence episode.

I'm going to say no, but only because the first one had McCallum & therefore I'm biased.

Besides, this dude is clearly more of a dick! 🤣

This ep has a 2d alien causing mayhem.

At first I thought it was an ep about Yorkshire, but the use of 'eck' in the title is apparently coincidental & not the accent breaking through!

Next ep - William Shatner is bbq-ing on living room fire, snogging & passing out! He is an astronaut, apparently, and newly returned from space!

Once again for the hard of hearing at the back:

I honestly don’t get the value of this company. They hoover up energy and water. Their product constantly gets things wrong and, in extreme cases, coaches people into suicide.

And it’s all built on what seems to be malicious and vast intellectual property theft.

What does OpenAI offer the world?

Right - s2, ep1. Soldiers flung through time. Set at start is a bit Star Trek TOS.

Oh dear - one of the soldiers has never felt love, which is a shame. He's a smoker, even though it's the future.
