Okay, whoever came up with the headline DIRTY DEEDS: DON BURKE CREEP deserves a raise.

Ask a follow-up question: if they say 1, ask how many holes it'd have if you poked a hole in the straw. If they say 2, ask them how many a vase has, how many a plate has, and how many a clay plate that you've stretched into a vase has.

I've discovered a new office game: ask your co-workers "how many holes are in a straw?" and letting them fight it out.

Not as clever as it thinks it is, and the slow pacing only sometimes works. Its plot revolves around pregnancy as life-affirming (?) so they had to address institutional misogyny, especially in a setting where most people are Things. It mostly ended up being distractingly gross.

The prospect of the Unnecessary Jumanji Sequel being actually good is hard to believe.

After my crummy weekend, things are looking pretty good again. Spent some time concentrating on something good at work, got to play with some new toys, and no-one found any new bugs in my website.

I bought an ultrawide monitor in the Click Frenzy sale because my current monitor is acting as a TV and I'd like to have a two-monitor setup once my old TV becomes available again.

Friends, it's two monitors.

This is the most *unnecessary* thing I own and it's delightful. I did not actually process that it's not just a big monitor.

I had so many plans this weekend, but I did not count on depression raising its ugly head.

We just had a 3 hour combat in my friend's game. He sort of broke the system.

I had me a marriage equality sparkling wine and then immediately went back to work and I was *useless*

I am the only one in this screening of Thor: Ragnorok.

To clarify: there is an article on Playboy about sexism (why some women engaged in victim blaming re: the recent sexual assault controversies), which is ironic

My new place is lovely, but it doesn't, as it turns out, have a working phone line or very good reception, so no internet.

I don't think I've gone off a series quite as fast as Get Krack'n. The first couple of episodes were an absolute riot, but as the series continued it became more and more about cringe comedy.

So this has been an eventful 24 hours: I have a new place to live at a cut price rate and I'm trying to work out a) how the move will work and b) how I'm getting out of my current lease

I am unreasonably excited that Malcolm Roberts' downfall as a politician is the same thing that made him as a politician: he Googles for information and credulously believes the first thing he comes across.

Boy, the character limit is *luxurious*

Alright, I'm turning this bad boy back on now I'm done with Twitter. (I'd had enough for a while, but I was so close to 8888 tweets so I had to hang on just to end on that milestone.) Then someone posted an Elf on the Shelf meme that was twitter in the sh-- ahem, and that felt like an appropriate moment to go out.

The interesting thing about Harley Quinn, to me, is that she was created as a way to get inside the Joker's head but it turns out that is a spectacularly bad idea.
