Freudian slips often reveal more than you mean to XD I had my haircut and ... well ... it's not great. I asked for a No. 4. I think I got a No. 3 or 2!! They also went Waaay too up the sides and back leaving just a small mat of hair on top. Wife says my haircut isn't great either.. I replied […]

I'm "Baking a practice cake" today. It's for my wife's birthday at the end of the month and she's requested one of my repertoire of cakes. Why practice then? You may ask. I normally bake this cake in a 2lb loaf tin. As its a birthday variation i aim to scale the recipe up to a larger, round […]

valve not being universally hated by going with the very rare strategy of simply making things people want is the funniest fucking shit

My mind hurts.. I just overheard a colleague say he's "got a lot of guitars but he wants a nice acoustic one but electric!" I guess he means acoustic with a microphone pickup?? But the idea of an electric acoustic guitar broke my think-meat

No Peter .. Rachmaninoff's piano concerto no 2 (2nd movement) inspired "All by myself" by Eric CARMEN and ***NOT*** As you confidently informed your boss Eric CARTMAN . I don't know which Russian composer inspired "Kyle's Mom's a Bitch" XD

Wife and I sitting, TV off, listening to Radio 3 "Night Tracks" with Hannah Peel on BBC Sounds. A synth heavy, minimalist piece with lots of arpeggios comes on. Wife "This is a bit of an odd track!" Me "Yes, it sounds like a mix of Philip Glass and Jean-Michel Jarre Her, Quick as a flash […]

It's November and already too late but I've started "Spotify Stuffing" in a vain attempt to influence my 2025 Spotify round up away from "Did you REALLY listen to the Theme ftom Streethawk by Tangerine Dream 57,000 times?" Might as well just stick with […]

Oddest thing. I'm in the office, it's busy so naturally I'm on with the noise cancelling headphones and Spotify. Playing a mid to late 80's playlist of Rock and Pop ballads. Y'know Marillion,Tears for Fears, Foreigner, etc. Suddenly I got the MOST INTENSE WAVE of bittersweet nostalgia wash […]

People like me (AuDHD) have to Masking in office environments. Still, we get accused of being too over dramatic and prone to irrational outbursts. Asking for a friend.. let's call him Pe... erm ... Rock! Li.... erm ... Tiny. Rock Tiny. Yes, that's his name. I .. er I mean.. HE informed the […]

In the Netherlands, cycling meets art & sustainability in a remarkable way. A glow-in-the-dark bike path inspired by Vincent van Gogh's painting Starry Night lights up the town of Nuenen, where the artist once lived. The bike path uses thousands of […] [Original post on mastodon.nu]

Where I post from..

I studied at the Mr Miyagi school of astrophysics. I still remember his lesson on lunar cycles. "WAX ON, WANE OFF" ;)

The O.G. Batman? well, yeah, in a way I guess so !! :D But then again, No.. "When is a bat man not the Batman?" Jeez.. sounds like a Joker or Riddler question if you ask me ;) hehe #movies

I keep falling into the assumption that I'm a balanced, sane and well adjusted individual... ... then I get the urge for a Peter Greenaway movie marathon and I realise I'm not right in the head ;) hehe Excuse me.. just listening to Michael Nyman again. P.G.'s movies are a bit "artsy" and […]

I knew vapes were a menace and an environmental disaster but i didn't realise the extent. This is extreme, 100% NON click bait (he did what he said) and flipping amazing ! https://youtu.be/dy-wFixuRVU?si=wxt6Gl9FwtL5ew0w

Erm... I don't think that's what Express means!! Yeah, sure I'll pay more to possibly get it here slower! XD #etsy

55, dresses in tweed, wears a flat cap and cravats, uses a pocket fob watch... ... currently listening to loud thumping dark synthwave because why not? XD

Another expensive (but necessary) day yesterday. New glasses. Ouch! #shouldhavegonetospecsavers #butiflippingdid !

Mamdani cracks 1M votes, the first NYC mayor to do so since John Lindsay in 1969

Question.. Do polite, but incompetent, hitmen deliver "Sorry I missed you!" cards to failed contract targets?? Inquiring minds want to know ;)

Installs Duolingo to learn Norwegian. Lesson 1 Learns how to say "Bread and milk" Learns how to say "Milk and coffee Learns how to say "Coffee and tea" Learns how to say "Tea and Milk" "Tea and coffee", "water and coffee", " water and wine", "wine and tea" , "tea and beer" , "beer and water" […]

The Norwegian government hires Sherpas from Nepal to build mountain pathways. They pay them so well that one summer of work in Norway equals more than 10 years of earnings in Nepal. (They get paid normal Norwegian wages for the work they do)

Any of my followers familiar with Norway, in particular Tromsø? My wife and I are heading there in Jan 2026 and while I'm really looking forward to it I am a bit concerned about the temperature/weather. I don't want to spend an absolute fortune on new clothes. I have some UniQlo thermaltech […]

I have the STRANGEST of notions at times. I've been journaling in what I call my "Wonky Journal" It's called that as I have this thing where I'll take a pristine journal and start with my best writing and nice neat lines but then give up when I make a […] [Original post on autistics.life]

Now this is ridiculously catchy. And yes, I bow to my socialist vampire overlords 🙇‍♂️

So we (that is, my wife and I) are heading off to Tromsø in Jan/Feb ... thought I best do some very important research into the wildlife we'd encounter ;) Actually watching this Norwegian movie with English subtitles as part of my "special Autie power" .. I […] [Original post on autistics.life]

I always say I don't have any Christmas Spirit. I'm very much in the whole "Bah Humbug" camp. Turns out that I, Peter Little Esq, may have Christmas spirit after all but don't know as it's extracted at source and sold to others ;) I don't know how I feel about that.... ;)

#pennedpossibilities #writerscoffeeclub I'm still working feverishly on this idea I've had stuck in my head for the last week. It's tightly wedged in a crack between D&D #worldbuilding and my mind palace's physics research laboratory XD Currently running to 178 pages of random, disjointed […]

I cannot follow my wife sometimes XD I mean ,i couldn't follow her through pristine snow, if she was sprinkling fluorescent dye in her wake and planing 6ft tall flags every two feet behind her.. I'd still find her difficult to follow. Because of her operation we didn't have a summer holiday […]

There are 10 kind of people in the world. Those that understand binary, those that don't, and those that didn't expect a ternary joke.

Beginning to get a little put-out by my work repeatedly scheduling team meetings over lunch because "That's the only time everyone was available!!!" No...shit...Sherlock! There's a reason for that. Our lunch hour is our time. It's not counted as part of our 7.5* hrs a day we need to work. So […]

I had cause to watch Batman (the 1989 Michael Keaton / Jack Nicholson version) last night. I don't really remember thinking this first time (or even the first 10 times) round but there's little to zero CGI in it save perhaps a spot of digital matte painting. All the effects are practical and/or […]

How you phrase facts is as important as the facts themselves. Overhearing a colleague state #trump was "demolishing part of the White House to make space for his large balls"... well, it conjured up COMPLETELY the wrong image... .... someone pass me the brain bleach please!!

Dear God, someone help me XD I had a literary "idea" I wanted to explore and flesh out. 109 pages on Word later I'm still feverishly writing some of the best stuff and interesting ideas I've EVER written... ... but it's not a story. Not even approaching one. I don't know what to do with it […]

Microwaving milk for a hot bedtime drink. Looks up at the Microwave timer. 0:07 I immediately start humming the James Bond theme. Every .. bloody .. time .. ! I notice 007 on any digital clock , timer or readout... brain automatically switches to Monty Norman mode.. makes a change from […]

@welshpixie saw this and thought you.. in our attempt to stop single use plastics we bought bamboo toothbrushes. Although is it just me.. but that font with this lighting.. doesn't it look like BamBUTTbrush?? ;)

Superman had it backwards. If Clark Kent took off his glasses nobody would recognise him. In reality, if I take off my glasses I can't recognise anyone else ! ;)

I frequently read the #writerscoffeeclub and #pennedpossibilities hashtags with interest but rarely, if ever respond to their prompts/questions. I don't consider myself a writer. I'm certainly not an author. I do have my "magnum opus" novel that I'd initially written over a decade ago and has […]

You've got to love the Skyrim modding community. "You must be Dragonborn!" me, Looks at horns, scratches scaly skin, swishes tail ... "No Sh*t Sherlock!" Also, I can get some of the coolest LOOKING armour without actually doing the questlines. Sadly these […] [Original post on autistics.life]

I suspect my sunflower lanyard has enough badges on it now. XD Can't place what country that bottom flag comes from though ;)

Obligatory Halloween Profile Spookification !! WhooOoOooOOOooo !!

Really getting into to Alan Parsons Project again. Just purchased myself their 11 CD album box-set. I know that I can stream online but I like having physical media I can rip for my own consumption with no fear of some provider removing it from their servers when it falls out of fashion/favour […]

Watching The Flash on ITVX. Currently on series 3. Tom Felton really out acts the rest of the cast by an order of magnitude. He's a much better performer than the other cast. Mind you, he was a much better actor as Draco than Daniel Radcliffe was as Harry in the Potter films too. #theflash

Happy Anniversary of the Battle of Cable Street, to all decent people.

I feel the urge to come clean, own up to something shameful, confess a deep, dark secret. I've led you all to believe something, an incorrect assumption. I've never corrected anyone. You see, you're all under the assumption that my surname Little is just […] [Original post on autistics.life]
