Ten minutes behind the cool kids.

[hirez]

A friend used to have (maybe still does. Who can say?) a thing for 'Two months off' by Underworld. I finally listened to it properly about ten minutes ago and now I'm filled with this wierd ache for things that didn't quite happen.

I will listen to more music like this so summer will turn up. Yes. Bittersweet. That is what it feels like.

I had my hair pruned at the weekend. There's about half of it left.

I believe I would like to set up a website that's only open from nine 'til half-five. It'll be closed on Wednesday afternoons and all day Sunday. I believe I was tangentially inspired by this thread on the Postfix list.

Mad thing.

Bad thing.

(Well, I say 'bad'. I mean 'batshit fucking insane and with any luck your entire fucking culture is doomed you malignant lackwits')
(Grim article. Don't read it. Especially don't read the comments. I mean really.)

So you now look like Phil Oakey circa 1979?

That would be an ecumenical matter.

I have no words for the BAD THING. My heart hurts. My eyes are leaking. What the FUCK, man? Seriously.

Tears here, too. That is abhorrent.

Apologies to both for pointing at it.

That website would be very popular in North Wales

My work's pensions site is only available during working hours.

Perhaps it should also only serve one visitor at a time, and you are assigned a number when you arrive?

[hirez.livejournal.com]

Perhaps. Or no more than three schoolchildren at a time.

Which means there should probably be a sign for Regal tabs, Cresta in a noisy fridge and an old copy of Exchange & Mart.

You see, all of this sounds like it could work really well :)

". . . now I'm filled with this wierd ache for things that didn't quite happen." I LOVE this! The sentiment would be a great opening for a novel or short story.

Re the train thing, I'd take it to Siberia but not to China.

Re the other thing, ugh. I chose not to have children so I cannot point fingers at those that do. However, with regard to population control, I do view those who deliberately put more on the Earth than they are taking off as a bit selfish. Even with that, I cannot condone selectiveness to the extent that it causes critical societal oddities and mass cultural breakdown. But I'm not in charge of things, so, hey . . .
