See you in '11
Okey-dokey, well, I’m off to a party very shortly, where I shall probably do some of this:
Gif shows Karen Gillan doing a strange angular dance and Matt Smith doing a marching-arms sort of dance until he gets distracted by trying to figure out what on earth Karen’s doing.
And by the time I get back it will be 2011 in London and quite probably all over the place.
So HAPPY NEW YEAR...

SHIP SO HARD i mean what
Gif is a short clip from I think it’s The aristocats of a white cat, eyes closed, nodding its head contentedly from side to side and looking rather pleased with itself.
This slightly reminds me of a time when a friend and I were...

Well, here's some of the real stuff
[Warning: spoilers for the end of The house at Pooh corner.]
Then, suddenly again, Christopher Robin, who was still looking at the world with his chin in his hands, called out ‘Pooh!’
‘Yes?’ said Pooh.
‘When I’m — when — Pooh!’
‘Yes, Christopher Robin?’
‘I’m not going to do Nothing any more.’
‘Never again?’

torayot replied to your post: Right!
I could make some suggestive comments but you know, that might distract you when you do look at Tumblr… :-{D
:D
Confession: I have just had a break for about an hour to make vaguely musical noises. But now I’m feeling a bit recharged and I think with one more session I can get it all done. And then I’ll be free for distractions.

Right!
I’ve been doing this reorganizing-my-bedroom thing for a few days now. It’s time to knock it on the head. I need to just get on and do it until it’s done.
No more reading.
No more playing guitar.
No more watching television.
No more tweeting.
No more tumbling.
…
I mean, I’ll still look at Tumblr. Obviously. But no more posting.

From somewhere, at some stage in my life, I have acquired the very firm belief that red onions are the kind of onion that you can just eat raw. Which must be true in some way, right? Because you get little chunks in salads, and rings in burgers. But apparently chopping half a red onion into your single serving of rice for lunch is not such a good idea. Gaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
The thing is, I know...

Watching this bootleg George Harrison DVD
thecurvature:
And there was this 1987 interview (that went on FOREVER OMG) from when he was promoting Cloud Nine. The DVD included the full reel of footage, and at the beginning, before the official start of the interview, George was talking to the (unnamed, unseen) woman who was interviewing him. They were making jokes back and forth about age. She mentioned how they’d met years before, but...

Attractions: the mixing desk
Remember when I was going to do this? No? I don’t blame you. It was ages ago. I’m slow.
Part of the reason it’s taken me a while to get round to it is that I haven’t been sure where to start. For a while I thought I was going to have to start here, but I think that’s more likely to be the next post in the series. (Whenever it comes in the process, it’s an...

You’d think Tumblr could set up redirects when people change their tumblr names. Wouldn’t be that hard or bandwidth-hungry, surely? Though I guess it might interfere with different people using the abandoned names. But at least they could redirect until someone else takes the same URL?

It *used to* give the author a new like. You could actually spam people this way. I will demonstrate! We’ll see if it still does that.

to listen to ‘Unicorn in Uniform’ which is about umm… people who construct their identities in that boring way like ticking boxes on a corporate survey, or just doing what is expected of them and not thinking about WHY they like the things they like, or devoting anything more than money to their so-called ‘passions’. And as a product of constructing their identity on cliches,...

The first line of the novel I’m writing about being roommates with Satah.
I’m not sure quite why or how it started, but for some time now I’ve been mentally referring to this novel as The swish and the swash.
Actually, I’m not quite sure why I’ve been mentally referring to this novel for some time at all. I guess just because it would be amazing.

If I may be so bold, it might be because you get so entertainingly flustered when you’re being complimented! People see you have that reaction and they’re like OH MY GOD I WANT TO MAKE YOU DO THIS *FOREVER*.
Aaaah, okay, I can make sense of that.
Now, I just need to cultivate the air of someone who...

While I’m in how-does-Tumblr-work land, someone must know the answer to this:
If you’ve already Liked a thing and it gets reblogged, the reblog shows up already Liked. If you then unLike the reblog and Like it again (by clicking the heart twice), does the Like show up on the reblogger’s dashboard, or does Tumblr just think, ‘Oh, you Liked that before so that ain’t...

If you uncheck “send posts to twitter” in Customization, sending to twitter becomes an option rather than the default. You have to then remember to check the box for every post you WANT to go to twitter, but it won’t auto-tweet replies.
Ah, neat! I think I assumed that switching that option off...

Does anyone whose tumblr is linked to Twitter know how to stop it automatically tweeting replies to asks?
In a normal post-composition screen you get the ‘Send to Twitter’ tick-box to un-tick, but in the answering-an-ask screen you don’t get the option. So halp plz?
Thanks.

Curious dreams
I only remember bits from last night.
There was one where I discovered that one of my best pairs of trousers was largely held together with odd little white plastic loops that rapidly were wearing away the fabric and by now the legs were full of tiny holes. Someone pointed it out (I wasn’t wearing them at the time, but for some reason I had them with me?) and I was like, ‘Yeah,...

Oh gosh, don’t worry, I didn’t really mind much! Especially since it was the most gob-smackingly flattering thing anyone’s said to me since the gob-smackingly flattering thing Pear said.

NEITHER OF WHICH I WISH TO DISCOURAGE IN ANY WAY WHATSOEVER

“Sadly this whole debacle only serves to prove Tkacik’s most salient point in the piece: Forcing some sort of dogmatic equivalence upon every action that technically conforms to the legal definition of “rape” seems guaranteed only to condemn the discourse to an eternal rhetorical circle jerk of slut-shaming/finger-wagging/conspiracy theorizing/etc.”

Three wishes
I wish:
I were not ill.
I were more inventive.
I had a smartphone.
The first wish is because being ill is yucky. I mean, I’m not very ill: I think it’s just a cold or something. I managed to get through work today and I may be well enough to work tomorrow. There are people with far far worse health problems. But the point is that this is why I’m going bed now (a little...

Scissors
The other day I saw two young children playing a novel version of ‘rock paper scissors’. Here are the rules, based on my observations:
Each player clenches one fist.
The players move their fists up and down once, in unison, saying ‘Rock!’
The players move their fists up and down a second time, in unison, saying ‘Paper!’
The players move their fists up a...

A happy memory
I read this experience-sharing chain of reblogs about inadequate sex-education in schools and it reminded me that, although what I got taught at school about sex was definitely patchy, it had one moment that I’ve never forgotten.
The first bit of sex-ed I had, and really the last useful one, was when I was about eleven or twelve. It wasn’t a special subject but part of the biology...
