a triple threat, but only to myself. https://linktr.ee/csurname
every friend is a work-in-progress, but specifically in the regard of them saying "happy birthday" every year and you responding that you'd absolutely prefer not to observe that & it's painful, then they do it the next year because they prefer cultural defaults to respecting anybody
Rod Liddle was like Marmite. Fucking disgusting.
think it took until my 30s to realise "lovely" can mean "sexy" rather than "remarkably good-natured"
for my manufactured Manics phase I've been covering various songs, done 30-ish in the last month. They'd not occured to my instincts to cover, given JDB's virtuoso performance, but I've found my own approach now, generally an octave down & more sedate, but not always. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

going to a soccer game and cheering for England but only specifically Beth England
Making a novelty band called Yächtley Crëw and then only doing yacht rock covers, instead of the subversive mashup the name implies, wasteful
I'd like to get back in shape, at least, the shape where a guitar sits correctly below my ribcage rather than uncomfortable upholstery

maybe the snowman isn't abominable; maybe you just caught him on a bad day
apologising to Jacob Elordi for me always confusing him for Justin Baldoni
me finally getting KOF14. Kukri/Mian/Sylvie is a brilliant newbie team; two properly thoroughly well-designed, S works as a parodic oddball. I dislike that Kukri's later characterised as a perv (in a non-canon game, but it'll stick). I guess his original characterisation is very close to Iori.
"bad theology" always means "theology that doesn't align with my delusions"
somehow, waking at midnight is the good option. 'cause I was only-napping at like 1am lately, and that was awful
something about British non-white actors being glad to get roles that aren't called Terrorist or Mohammed etc, but I sometimes notice overrepresentation of white-ified identities ('white' names), probably because they were race-blind cast. Do race-blind cast, then respect the cast's verisimilitude?
a woodchuck is the same as a groundhog, hence "how much ground would a groundhog hog if a groundhog could hog ground?". The difference here is that a groundhog CAN hog ground
I'm hilariously lazy regarding going anywhere lately. directly a result of disability but it results in attitude. My life doesn't include multi-hour spells of peaceful awakeness, so no intent. A little part of it is how enshittified public transport is, but part of that's sensory overwhelm too
As ever, fuck the outlook that derides a "victim mindset", aka recognising victimhood
