‘Hi! Are you sad about some fairly core aspect of yourself? Well, don’t worry; here’s the premise of a story you can tell yourself about yourself to help you ignore it.

Please pay me for the ending.’

The two trees of The Valar. One glows with a heavenly lights, the other shivers with silver

Am currently reading ‘The Silmarillion’. I don’t think I’ve ever been so enthralled while also literally falling asleep from boredom.

That the only implement in my pocket suited to the task of fishing the bag from my takeaway tea was a toy plastic laser rifle (belonging to one of the DinoBots™), pretty much typifies everything that I like and dislike about myself.

Agreed

It all started going to hell when we walked away from narrated “in a world” movie trailers.

I have stopped my ADHD meds. My mouth doesn’t hurt as much but everything is harder. Please speak to me of your Lions Mane, your Ashwagandha and other hoodoo

Ha! Thats incredible.

… it’s wist right? Intense wist?

Brilliant

You know those apps that let you LARP being chased by zombies or something while you run?

I propose a house work/chores productivity app that involves a series of ETA phone calls from an in-bound fussy relative.

A kind of pomodoro technique - by way of this…

My eldest son’s new thing is ‘traps’. This means that the already near-constant jeopardy of treading barefoot on LEGO now has the added spice of malicious intent on his part.

This presents new challenges in my ongoing, self-developmental project of ‘not drop-kicking him out the window’.

Pharaoh nuff.

I go on a silly little walk to… Wanstead Flats On new sun and old shadows

Apologies but I have been at it again - it being, walking about, having thoughts about the walking about.

That tracks. I have a very over simplified view of it, i think, because of how my son interacts with it vs how he interacts with other media. The absence of a manifest commercial agenda (outside of ‘please consume other stuff we’re doing’) carries a disproportionate weight for me.

Is there a tremendous amount of merit to doing away with it though? Genuinely interested.

We used to be happy to just do stuff like this diagetically, as a lil’ treat.

TBF, the way McKellan plays the ‘…RUN!’ does have the faintest whiff Python in its inflection

Soon, shruggy-bathos-core will begin to eat itself and characters will start drawing attention to the fact that everyone keeps stopping to cynically interrogate the premise.

The few times I have been commissioned to sit down and actually write Doctor Who or cosmic horror; this one 2000AD story (the images, the mechanics of its premise and the feeling it left me with) always comes to mind. Gonna have to resist the urge to go hunting in the loft for it!

Also, while I’ve got you, I was telling the other half yesterday about a Vector 13 story that really effected me. About the Big Bang creating two opposing time continuums that horseshoed away from each other but were now on a collision course. Was that one of yours?

BaZOOOOOOO away xxxx

Also, just in case you're ever tempted to go by what the Al tells you, please know that it cannot even get STAR WARS right.

Mate! ‘Glowing’ barely covers it!! X

Fun fact, that stick drawing is the official image used in the Wiki-definition of the word ‘THAT’

All for you mate

It absolutely should, my mistake. X
