Slowly dawning on me that I might not give a stuff about this Liverpool game. I could be doing my taxes. And, you know what…this game is really picking up. I might stick with it.

Underhill was a balmy -52 this morning.
Bet there was still one of those weird guys wandering around who wears a hat, coat, scarf, gloves…and shorts.

Evening plans: fuck all and Olympics on iPlayer. Ordered a velvet curry which is melting my face off because they ignore their own options for mild, medium or hot. Watching curling. Through tears. With flaming lips. As god intended.

Every time I post something this afternoon, it's a procrasturbatory cry for help as I continue to try and do ANYTHING but finish up all the detail on this dress.
Yes. That's my hands. The swishing dress is also me wafting a table cloth around for folds and shadows reference.
Fuck AI. Use brain.

Been on an Eric Serra kick since rewatching The Fifth Element, and I'm fully prepared to out myself as one of 'them', but I've always thought...and continue to think that his Goldeneye score is absolutely fine. In places, bloody great. A couple of duff cues, but...y'know...what THEY said they wanted

Curling doesn’t need improving, but it would be great if at the end of a match, the players threw the stones into the crowd for little kids to catch and take home as a memento…

Burnley have taken Zian Flemming off, so he can carry on writing Zoldffinger.
I’m sorry. I’m tired. It’s not like I don’t KNOW that that was shit. It’s simply that I don’t care.

Right then. Half time. 15 minutes of blocking accounts from bots called Elisabetta who want me to help them meet new people.
Listen, bots. I want to know fewer people. Ideally I’d like to know no people. You’re barking up the wrong tree.

Tired today, as I was back on my Colditz binge last night.
Didn’t quite make it through two episodes as Christopher Neame was doing too much ‘very hungry’ acting, where you become so hungry you have to hunch your shoulders and use both hands to shovel food into your mouth.

Bit later than planned, but I’ve just started Jess Franco’s ‘Jack the Ripper’. I’m barely 7 seconds in, and I’m already guffawing…
Got Philip Madoc and Arthur Lowe stuck in my head.

“Don’t tell him, Pike…”
