Word of the day, should you be feeling a little huffish, is ‘apanthropy’ (18th century): a love of solitude and the desire to be away from other people.

I've just had to kick Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin out of my house tonight.
I told him, whilst kicking him over a fence, (My fence),:
Look you! That may have been acceptable then. But it's not the 1970's these days, James!"

Spent all day trying to catch a Pigeon in Glasgow's famous Old Fruitmarket.
It's in here somewhere.

I'm watching Hitchcock's "Psycho" (1960).
It takes place on December 11th and there are Christmas street decorations visible when Marion is stopped at the lights.
So it's a Christmas film, okay?

This Jupiter Furniture building. Do you happen to know it's history or, if the building originally had a name. So to speak.
Best wishes!

This morning I read the script for "Child's Play" (1988). I love that film and I thought the script would have lots of interesting and unshot scenes and dialogue.
It's the EXACT same as the film with one very tiny difference.
Still, it was interesting to read it.

I've watched all 3 "The Thing" films today and read the short story they're all based from.
All good in their own way.
The John Carpenter version is obviously a masterpiece.
I could watch that again today.

Can't believe I made it through "The Running Man" (2025).
I didn't like anything at all about the film.
0 stars. For everything.

I can't believe how many bands on here are desperately punting their work.
'Artists' too.
What are you running here, a business?
What are you, a shopkeeper?
Make Art. Not money.

I've just had to get rid of a friend because he's not a friend. He's an Alcoholic. He doesn't yet know he is.
It's been really difficult.
Do you happen to have any experience of this?
I must've walked away from 50 interesting people I liked and loved in my life.
Gotta keep on walking.

I find myself interested in Mash ups these days.
I typed 'Guns N' Roses Mashup' into YouTube tonight to see what would happen and I was not disappointed. A little weirded out.
But not disappointed...

Just heard about Jimmy Cliff dying.
What I liked about Jimmy was how he knew how to use a microphone.
What's that called, Dynamics, perhaps?
If Reggae wasn't called 'Reggae', you could probably call it 'Jimmycliff'.
Here he was here being great with a cool jumper...

Here are some modern sayings which I think can get to fuck...
*Link in Bio.
*Going/Moving forward.
*Merch.
*Arting.
If you make something, you don't need to sell the shit out of it.
If you do, it cheapens your work.
Be good at what you do.
Da Vinci never sold nothing.
Van Gogh, too, I think.

Accidentally flooded my downstairs neighbours and man, were they understanding about it.
I went down with a pile of apologies and money saying I'd take care of everything and they said:
"Fuck it, Al. You don't owe us anything. It's Tenement life and sometimes shit fucking happens."

Stole a Ukelele from work a few nights ago.
It's the best thing ever. I picked it up in no time and I play it in the bath and in bed. It's so light and useful.
I was gonna return it but today, I've decided to definitely steal it.
George Harrison was right.
Everyone should get a Ukelele.
