I can’t stop buying zines

One of my oldest friends seems to be falling out with everyone but also told me it was too much to explain over text. Our convos are getting more and more one sided - like I tell her stuff and she barely responds despite asking me the questions I’m answering. Our friendship is drifting fast. 😔

Also maybe I should go to sleep now

Maybe I should make a Jamiroquai zine… I know no one will buy it cos they didn’t buy my Davey Havok one but I don’t care 😆

Jamiroquai was so good tonight in Manchester 💃

Just caught the end of the football draw on our recording of House of Games. Oh wow. Felt like the entertainment at a corporate party. The choreography was all over the place, energy levels low. Love how at the end it just went back to the draw and they said “this is how the balls came out”

This week’s 5x5 No surprises that 5 squares are The Neighbourhood and one is Jesse’s solo album. Obsessed. Enjoying new Slackers ep. Was playing piano along to Hayley Williams and Ben Folds. Singing to The Skints and Lauryn Hill. Random dance and r&b. Relaxing with Future Islands and Kid Bloom.

Prettybone, Shooting Daggers, and Petrol Girls release collaborative single www.punknews.org/article/8712...

I didn’t know that Jonny Lee Miller was in an episode of Keeping Up Appearances

Yesterday someone said that a picture not lining up was triggering their friend’s OCD 😒 argh. I wish people would stop using that to describe someone who likes things to be neat - it’s not the same!!

Heardle 1990s #1302 🔊🟩⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️ #Heardle90s #90sMusic #Heardle #music 90s.heardledecades.com 🤣 I don’t know how I managed that haha

For some reason we have snooker on tv. It’s actually taking place in York at the Barbican - that is the only good thing 🤣

It was better in the end and I haven’t got a headache thankfully. I can’t say I fully enjoyed being in the office but at least I was sat with my team and we had some good chats.

I hate getting into online debates when I know I’m not an expert in that area. I don’t like having to justify my opinions. There’s always someone else who seems to know more and then I just automatically back down. It’s the same in person. Maybe it’s a gender thing too…

Trying a bigger open plan office today and I’m not looking forward to the experience

Even if I’m not aware of being anxious, my dreams let me know - had another dream last night where I was looking for things I needed to take with me to a gig, but it was taking me ages and I was stressing about being late, but I couldn’t just stop looking and trying to sort things out.

Urm… Still not sure about this. Also the first track on his album is better than this one.

I can hear my neighbour who is currently singing something about pie in the sky and problems

Sokanyan, a cat from Soka City who loves the local Soka senbei rice crackers, was at the World Character Summit.

Ab Fab always makes me laugh

Akkuma, a devilish purple bear from outer space who has settled in Hokkaido, rocks out.

Some November food… out and about edition. Just cos I’ve seen some weird US meals on here lately 😆 Brunch from Olive and Bean - scrambled egg, smashed avocado and sourdough toast Vegan burger and fries from Honest Indian street food from Bundobust First helping of buffet food from family thing

I believe, Cher! I believe! #totp

This week’s 5x5 The usual obsession - NBHD, Jesse Recent obsessions - new AFI, DRAIN Nostalgic obsessions - Spice Girls, Jamiroquai Plus random new stuff, ska stuff and chill stuff. And new hardcore - Dead Stare as I interviewed their bassist for my book (so cool).

Fact.

So snotty. It’s only been a month since my last cold 🙄

Got a bit of a cold again. It’s either from going to Newcastle at the weekend or due to the changing weather - it was freezing the other day, over 15 degrees C yest. Pick a season and stick with it.

I don’t like the Olly Murrs song that everyone is on about (Yesterday’s News) - it is not good. But I actually like the opening track on the album - Knees Up. It’s pretty catchy and that’s a real trumpet (Nick Mead). I don’t know why he’s made this album. Like is he a secret ska fan?

Faintest Idea (Mar) Ruby Wax (Jun) Still need to plan holiday

Just saw an article about AI used in marketing campaigns by a marketing agency, and the detector I used says it was 100% AI generated. I’m not even surprised. I was only suspicious because it repeated words (for SEO) and lacked human tone.

Hahaha why is Another Level - Freak Me on this playlist at Ross Noble? 🤣

It’s been a great day on Bluesky

A comparison - US biscuit recipe vs scone… v similar

This is why I’m on Bluesky - today we have been talking about gravy

Olly Murs has made some ska and I’m so confused 😆 should I like this or not?! Haha

One of the doctoral researchers I work with is doing research on film sound and its connection to emotional responses. She's doing a short online survey/questionnaire. Takes about 10 minutes. If you are able to help that would be great 😌 york.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Is it still “laptop ska” if it has real brass etc? Give me a definition

Always reporting the most important news 🙄 Also I really don’t like this speculative news - trying guess what’s gonna be announced. They’ve been going on about the budget for over two weeks already.

Barrington Levy is playing the Brudenell in Leeds… but it’s £42 and on a Monday… hmm. Maybe not.

V random but my favourite lorries are the Bidfood ones that have scenes made from food… like this new one I spotted earlier today 🤣 The waterfall is made of spaghetti.

Was in the supermarket and out of the corner of my eye I saw someone dart and change direction… looked over and I’m almost certain it was the worst manager I ever had. I quietly laughed thinking how funny it was that she was trying to avoid me. Don’t worry Kerry, I never want to speak to you again.

What’s the point of shows like Stupid Central on Comedy Central… you can just watch those videos in your own time on TikTok 🤷🏻‍♀️

TV this weekend: - Finished second season of Nobody Wants This - Halfway through latest season of Selling Sunset (yay trash) - Up to date with The Morning Show… (and it’s so good!)
