Is it just me, or are the lighting systems generally crap in futuristic utopias? (They always seem to be the first thing to go on the blink whenever there’s an uprising.)

If I ever architect a future utopia, you can be sure I’ll spend the money on a proper lighting system.

@caraellison The concept of the spooge hamster still haunts my waking moments.

Running low on boost. 😟

(Although not Boost, as I sadly can't consume milk, choc and indeed wheat based biscuit goodness.)

Sure, it's going to take a *lot* of hard work, but I reckon if I buckle down and put the hours in, I'll one day be able to sign parcel delivery scanners using Prince's "Love symbol".

Working on my “spilling mugs of hot water” game.

Gettin’ *real* good.

In all your infinite grace.

(Beta testing the next version of Retrospecs.)

Well done everyone, you absolutely nailed it. A perfect name. Captures sleekness, power, slightly edgy

Sitting here, hunched over a bottle of Olbas oil, huffing away.

Yeah, it might start with the decongestants, but I know where this ends - soon I'll be down the docks, jonesing for a fix.

I think the difference between Mastodon and Twitter (at least for me) is that Masto makes me realise that I've actually absolutely nothing worth saying.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The will to press keys is exceedingly low today.

[Stares through monitor for extended period of time.]

@eurasierboy Out of interest is Amaroq universal? (The store blurb says it is, but you can't download it on the iPad?)

@Gargron Should I be able to upload MP4 movies? (Getting an "422 Validation failed: File content type is invalid, File is invalid" error via the web client)

"Totally off his tits on Strepsils" - that's how I want to check out.

Just too damn rock 'n' roll, I guess.

Have now hit peak head cold. All is mucus.

I think there needs to be a greater sense of threat in hymns - "He's omnipresent - he knows where you live", that sort of thing.

It would certainly make listening to the radio on Sunday morning more interesting.

Today's earworm appears to be the classic "Mute City" theme from F-Zero on the SNES by Yumiko Kanki & Naoto Ishida.

(Makes a change from something nacho themed.)

(I only tell you this in case it transpires to be of key importance at the future date, you understand.)

A version of Sinitta's "So macho", with the word "macho" replaced by "nacho" has been playing in my head since I woke up.

So, you know, there's that.
