Thunderstorm in London, UK, sounds fantastically like Godzilla is very much on the way

Earache.

Well, Atlanta is very good then isn't it.

Well, I was inclined not to watch ep 1, not just because series 1 was jaw dropping, but because Janelle Monáe's "Pynk" video made me want to see more future Feminism in which love, joy and freedom is possible and not visions of grinding horror against women. However. I did, and it was pretty good, in that I felt shaky with tension from end to end, much like last season. Didn't cry though, but give it time.

Trying to dig through a mound of natural health bullshit to find out what health benefits for menopausal women there might *actually* be from magnesium.

So Dirty Computer is at no. 8 in the UK, and nowhere in the US at all. Is that be a use the UK has gone all Spotify friendly and the US hasn't? Or is it that the US is too full of folk who don't appreciate her black pansexual woman futurefunk stylings?

I have been listening to music and clearing up all day. Makes a big difference to my mood. I do like my podcasts but music changes everything (Prince-misc, ArchAndroid and Dirty Computer on repeat just like a teenager because it's that confident and fantastic)

Waiting for my daughter to get out of a "Dan & Phil" gig whilst skint means waiting in a bus station because it's the only place with seats. I also very bored indeed.

I removed a game I was obsessing over from my phone (32k points). I just sat down to play it and had forgotten my own sensible harshness. Curses to me, I am an idiot! Why did I get rid of that game? Oh shut up, Zoonie. Tough toodles. You know it had to go. Waaaaaah!

@starbreaker hey how's the patient feeling?

Pretty good, as it goes. Dodgy cgi in the first section, mind you. But they really did pull it off. Dramatic, exciting, engaging.

Just finished. I really thought Malcolm would die at the end. Glad he didn't, I loved how solid, think but practical he was. Alice was amazing. The story was so intense, he's a damn fine writer.
I particularly like the joke about the canoe name being painted over by a naughty friend. Anyway, glad I waited and glad it was worth the wait.

Having a Ben Folds bingerama whilst cooking a Greekish/Lebanese-ish nettle & feta pie, looking forward to seeing him soon on one of his admittedly not very rare trips to London.
But it means I am going out!

Facebook is in the position now of charging protection money. If you pay a monthly fee, we won't give your data to companies. Aren't we nice!

I bothered to watch the 'Pynk' video and fell in love with it, Janelle, the whole gang thing, it was *fantastic*. And a very cutesy, girl-friends-together fun song too.
I am so happy with young feminists. That was amazing.

Sandy Hook parents taking Alex, Jones to court. All my respect and good vibes to them.

@Mainebot hey how's it going? (not a pick up line, obviously)

My son is hypermobile so he's a tiny bit clumsy. He is 12 and growing taller, so a bigger bit clumsy. He's also a gymnast, so boings around constantly. *Every* bump and scratch is a major disaster - every bruise and scratch gets tears and yelping with pain... has he broken his toe or just bashed it and got a bruise? Who knows? Has he bumped his head or do we need to call an ambulance?
Get some sense of proportion, kid! Cry appropriately! Argh!

For the first time in about a decade, I went past a blossom tree and I could hear it humming with life. Looked up and it wasn't quite as thick with bees as say, the 1990's but it was definitely better than it has been.
Anyone else see any improvement?
