I listened to a "Best of Mark and Lard" youtube video yesterday, it contained Superstar - Superstar which is like if Mercury Rev had created the theme music to Buck Rogers in the 25th Century in 1980 instead of Kipp Lennon.

I've eaten Shredded Wheat for breakfast, possibly the first time ever, I'd always avoided it because of the compass mnemonic. Definitely a sub-Weetabix experience, but I don't currently have the energy to retrieve a new packet of Weetabix from The Vault.

It's excessively stormy outside. I checked all the severe weather warnings yesterday and none covered my area, this must mean everyone else has even worse weather. Hold on to your cats/hats/trampolines.

I said "octogenarian" in perfectly normal-for-me context during conversation at the dentists and made the hygienist laugh because, I assume, why didn't I just say eighty-something?
