“We’re introducing daylight savings time”
“Ah, great! It’ll be nice to have some additional sun in the darker months”
“…”
“You’re saving daylight in the darker months, right?”

It is GMT that is wrong, not BST

Current mood

That’s enough horror for one day. I’m going to read about The Shining to relax.

It appears to involve The Great Gatsby and The War Of The Worlds. Just in case you thought a book set in Wantage might be dull.

I bought a book set in Wantage from a bookshop in Wantage.

I’ve listened to very little new music this year so far, so I’m giving M83’s new album “I Wrote You A Letter” a go.

So far: Got a lot of Bowie’s ‘V-2 Schneider’ from ‘Losing Ground’. Would be absolutely amazed if there isn’t some purposeful link between ‘Siren/Behold… Beasts’ and last year’s Anna Von Hauswolff album “Iconoclasts” which sounds similar and has multiple tracks referencing Beasts. An unexpected source of inspiration.

How tall are you? Are you “I put a carton of eggs on a shelf under a kitchen cabinet on the worktop and couldn’t see it until it was three months out of date” tall?

No? Then I am taller than you.

😭

Could the AI techbros please hurry up with moving on to the Find Out phase?

While I’m waiting for an update to the IceCubes app so I can post images again, what are your favourite Mastodon iOS apps?

The Booker Prize shortlist is out and of the longlisted three I’ve read so far, the one I didn’t enjoy isn’t on it. The two I gave five stars to _are_ shortlisted.

So if you’re interested, I can recommend starting with Black Bag by Luke Kennard and May We Feed The King by Rebecca Perry.

I still think this is a very strange way to pick up a guitar.

I have ordered the Christmas turkey. It’s not even the equinox yet.

As someone who doesn’t give a flying hoot about Grand Theft Auto, I am very happy Nintendo are giving me something else to play this Winter. The Ocarina Of Time Remake was a no-brained for me anyway, but holy forking shirtballs does it look incredible.

Now That’s What I Call A Holiday Update

I am done with work. For the week, for the month, and in general.

I’ll have to go back, but I’m still done with it.

I outsource my thinking to an LLM because I want to be a moron

It’s the kind of afternoon that needs We Are The Pipettes on in order to survive
