I forgot to eat dinner so after this I went to a diner near my house which I did not realise was staffed exclusively by gorgeous bears at midnight on a Thursday.

I don’t blog anymore because the thing I’m most obsessed with right now is work stuff and if I blog about it it would be on the work blog. And no one wants my blogging style to be their brand identity

Determining the type of a ternary conditional has very “resolving a grapple in 3.5 vibes”

I mean there is a problem with this because I use one playlist as an alarm clock, which kinda explains the double something for Kate (great album, but I wasn’t listening to it _that_ much)

I quit showbiz a while back so I’m not the person to still tell you that trace plots are about as useful as tits on a bazooka (like truly, live you’re lives. Be fucking stupid. It doesn’t hurt anyone.) but this plot is exactly it.

Sometimes you dress as a cat who has done a bad job dressing as a miner (and who is wearing a dagger as a fascinator). (Aka Aloysius, my dnd character.)

I accidentally took a perfect photo at the Jim E Brown gig*

* Squeezed between two goth bands playing to an all ages audience several of whom were in full white pancake. Never have I seen a performer more in sync with his audience as when he closed with “How do I stop crying when I masturbate?”

Masquerade was certainly a night that I spent standing next to Andrew Lloyd Webber.
