I think I just found the car belonging to the person in the world most insecure over the size of their penis.

I swear that it seems all I’m doing this summer is getting paler and paler. On the plus side I have finally shaken off my bizarre heatwave cold. Maybe now I won’t look so peaky.

Two women on the train who, if they were friends, are probably back to being acquaintances: “Sophie was surprised you hadn’t heard of them” “It must be that I’m much younger than her 💅” “Oh? You don’t look it ” “😐😡”

Didn’t the weather know I’d actually quite like to sit inside this morning and play games?

Sort of fascinated with there being a whole sector of musicians, DJs and noise that gay men of a particular age attend live, but where it’s not really the music, it’s just the one where they can be in a space shirtless with other gay men with the same body type. Do they listen to it at home?

Not that it’s the point when it’s a case of someone doing their job, but as lots of TERFs are talking about clothing retailers, and who they claim are men being involved in ‘Women-only spaces’, have they stopped for a second to consider just how many male fashion designers there are and have been.

Hometime

One of the commentators on the Alcaraz-Struff match just asked Tim Henman: “Does it help if you try to serve-and-volley more?” Sir.

Rather defeats the whole point of a library, you absolute moron.

Walked towards my bedroom door and just as I was thinking about reaching out to open it, it swung open. I know that it’s just because the balcony door and bedroom window are open and created a sudden wind tunnel, but as I walked in without breaking my stride I felt like Storm.

Reality could only stretch to PS1 graphics today. Should be romping around Shadow Moses Island rather than London.

So, it’s all over the place, the plot gets near-totally lost, and it’s ‘Glee does Evita’. But, to cover that, they ramp everything else up: the orchestra, the choreo, the smoke machine, the lighting, the energy, and the men. And given much of that is exactly what you want in a musical, it does wow.

“An ‘evidence-based’ approach”? What even is that in the context of support for LGBT support? They’ll only put up a Pride flag if they see a drop in homophobic attacks? Indeed if you find that you are doing things that aren’t working, the solution is ‘Do more’ not to give up and do less.

I don’t particularly like the term, but I made some blondies. Banana and Dark chocolate, with a peanut butter cream. They’re not as heavy as you might think, but they are deliciously filthy.

There’s a dog in Warwick that is not coping at all well with no longer being the centre of attention, or the cutest thing, in the household. You hear of dogs bonding with babies, this one keeps stealing its toys.

Let’s get hysical

Had to turn around and go and sit back at my desk when, stood at the coffee machine with my eyes closed and feeling like my eyesockets were gently pulsing, I realised that I’ve had the equivalent of eight shots of espresso today.

I. AM. *c r y i n g* 😆 “Stripping but for nerds” omfg 🤣

The earlier on in the year a person has mentioned Mighty Hoopla more than once as if a huge date in the social calendar, the more likely it is for me to have pondered about their mental health.

Banoffee cake.

Cake Salé: a savoury olive oil cake, with pistachios, prunes, and goat’s cheese.

Bit of a shame that the script of this week’s Doctor Who was so cringe-inducing and awful that there wasn’t a hope of even a competent actor in the cast managing it.

Office days aren’t too shabby.

Underrated aspect that Andor is so rounded that I actually feel a bit bad for the bad guys. Partagaz, Dedra, Syril, Eedy/Syril’s Mother, Krennic, Sculdun (sort of), ISB Demon Twink who can’t pull off Dedra’s coat.

It’s not a negative because I think they’ve captured it perfectly, but ‘Andor’ reinforces my despair over how annoying lots of the people involved in early resistance movements are, often due to the wildly different reasons they have for fighting against the same bad guy.

Sunday shenanigans.

I completely understand why (for more than just the budget) why you’d end up not going in that direction but a standalone “horror” episode of Andor with a KX unit slowly, relentlessly and mercilessly hunting down rebels aboard a vast ship they’ve stolen is a hell of an idea.

I have a tech manual or two that Major Partagaz can borrow if he likes.

Gently amused by some of the most broken men around suddenly posting GTAVI screenshots joking “I can fix him”. aww, sure you can.

I cannot fathom the size of the rock someone must have been living under to say out loud “I think she’s handled it fairly gracefully” with reference to J.K. Rowling.

There’s a ton of posts on Twitter that are all “Imagine watching Return of the Jedi and then decades later finding yourself engrossed in a story about a tertiary character who is in one scene just giving light exposition” Uhh, yeah. Hi, welcome to Star Wars. She’s in it for 26.5 seconds and iconic.

Ruby Wax?!? Amazing.

Over-caffeinated, underfed, over-exerted at the gym, and too hot has led to a bit of an afternoon where I showered, sat down on the bed in my towel, and then suddenly realised I’d conked out for ten minutes.

At least it was sunny this morning.

Only problem is that now I just want to stay flat this afternoon.

Ok, so it’s HIM, so I’m not going to be shocked, but “I don’t think we lose anything” is an utterly despicable ‘WTF?!’ thing to say.

Watched Andor back to back yesterday and, just like series one, if you see a piece of interesting kitchen- or dining-ware I either want it or own it.

Only problem with a lunchtime gym class is I get back to work and feel like a nap.

Busy Easter Weekend. New car, Easter lunch, blowtorching cake and nostalgic movies. Back to work with a bump today though.

One of the amusing things that right-wing people attacking institutions for being ‘lefty’ don’t seem to understand is that it’s not ideological litmus tests in hiring or admissions that result what they see as a lack of diverse opinions. It’s that the crazy right-wing people are too stupid to get in

How maddeningly predictable not to acknowledge what the protests were about, and instead focus on purely on *their* tone, but not the gang of crowing TERFs who used the Supreme Court judgement to suggest transwomen needing the loo or asking for support are 'men in dresses' trying to assault women.

Someone needs to stop these people. Do right wing morons all get injected with some kind of FoxDie along with those dark blue suits?

A boring story in two parts. Probably good though given there are still buns and I need to make a cake later.

Not too bad for my first ever batch

No matter what I’ve done, I’ve been unable to break out of ‘slightly dishevelled’ today.

Semlor

Walked home listening to The Hives like it’s 2004.

Hair today, gone tomor…no, wait, also today.
