The Bug

The most important thing to note about The Bug is that the alarm doesn't work every day.

Then you'll end up setting the alarm on your phone to wake you up.

Then you'll wonder why you spend so much damned money on something that doesn't work.

Then you'll end up bitter and resentful.

Then you lose sleep; partly from the building anger, but mostly from the paranoia of being late for work because THE FUCKING ALARM DOESN'T WORK.

Overall rating: suck.

Plymouth at Night

Bite

Repeat and repeat.

Next time, I will bite my tongue.

Next time, I will bite my tongue.

Next time, I will bite my tongue.

Realisation

The realisation: that his time with me is the execption rather than the rule.

The realisation: I am not what I think I am.

Novation Remote LE 25

My Novation ReMOTE LE 25 MIDI keyboard arrived today.

* All the photos I saw of it had the joystick centred, but mine sticks to the bottom-centre. It isn't broken; the photos are just wrong. And I haven't figured out yet what the trackpad does.

* My Mac loves it. GarageBand loves it. My inflatable dinosaur loves it.

In conclusion, A+++.

Magpie

Bird hop hop hop bird hop bird hop hop.

Perl

Kitty kitty kitty!

Eggs

In my mind, I was throwing eggs at the wall, but it wasn't nearly satisfying enough.

Bigger

"There's only one thing for it."

"Make the hole bigger!"

Metabolism

Okay, there was this one time I tried to say "metabolism", but I actually said "metizzle".

It was so funny!

Oral-B Triumph ProfessionalCare 9500

I've been using the Oral-B Triumph ProfessionalCare 9500 for about a week now.

You can configure it to stutter every 30 seconds and/or after 2 minutes, but you can't turn the stutter off completely.

But still, it makes me happy.

Commando

Do you believe in Commando?

Hate Love

I'd be happier if I was more social, but I hate so many people.

Which really bites, because they all seem to love me.

Places I Don't Want To Be

Places I don't want to be, but with people I want to be with.

Why did I go with him? To be closer to him?

I don't want to be closer. I just don't want to lose what I have.

I want him to understand me better. I want him to respect me a little more.

But he already does all those as well as he knows to. I can't ask any more.

Secretly, I want to lose him. I'm tired of fighting and compromising.

One day, he'll realise how much he needed me. Then he'll be sorry.

They'll all be sorry.

Lie

I lied earier, about there being no question.

I did believe it would happen. I just don't like to admit I had hope

"Let me call you sweetheart,
I'm in love with you!"

Will

"He's playing 'will-he, won't-he' like a cat plays with a turnip."

"I mean, he won't. Was there ever any question?"

Kangaroo

Bees

Whitney, running through the night,
Tigers, dragons, beams of light,
"Aaaaaargh! BEES!"
The world awakens.

Ninja of the Night

Ninja!
Ninja of the night!
Ninja fear!

I'll put it in a bag for later.
