I was just about to roll out open refine for the first time in yonks, so I might just try this out instead.

I was in a market in a rural Italian town, walking and eating a pear. A very small elderly woman looked at me in passing, and gave me a big "Tsk!". I always eat sitting down now. I have a lot to learn.

Funny you should say that.... (I liked them in both incarnations...!) They were all the groovy older kids I was too nervous to say hi to, even when they were younger than me.

I woke hours too early, in a foul mood. I dreaded going to work. It rained on me. Since then everyone has been resolutely nice to me, apologising for the muckups recently I've been threading through (and not complaining). And the sun's out. Almost like life's not too bad after all.

I remember hearing Hey Suess at a record store on Lampton Key. Three bars in, "yes I'll buy that thank you". Also, tinnitus is playing up today.

If you eat a blue cheese, it's particularly good.

So is tasty cheese on super wine biscuits not a thing everyone does?

He'll peddle some victim narrative until he finds God or some such attempt at a redemption arc. He has done so much damage to so many men and women, and their relationships.

Why yes Dr., I do have tattoos. Would you like to see them? Today I learned Mr Curry liked to leave his life as private as possible. I respect that enormously, and would like to reflect on the liberation of others private lives his work enabled. Thank you.

I'm glad we have the memorial in Dunedin. I'd like Archibald Baxter to be a better known name than he is though.

Think about Miss Piggy. She lost a best friend and now an ex-lover in matter of 24 hours.
Miss Piggy and Dolly Parton in fancy dresses posing together photo of Tim Curry surrounded by muppets, smiling for a photo. A quote from curry is added “it didn’t go very well. It didn’t survive the shoot. She felt I wasn’t being faithful to her” it’s him discussing his ill fated affair with miss piggy

My brain has woken up after a week of the 'flu. I know this, because I'm thinking about Judith Butler's article on giving an account of oneself. I haven't seen Butler discussed in Narrative Therapy literature. I would have thought it would be useful.

My dilemma about being constantly fatigued, and now knowing why is should I rest and recover, or should I push through because rest wouldn't make any difference anyway? Results for autoimmune stuff due early next week.

Tangent... When I did some global anthropology of food papers, I began to understand that everything comes down to access to water. Every system, border, economy, technology, biology... It's like 'follow the money', but for everything.

I intern at an agency that offers free counselling for men. I'm the last 8 scheduled sessions, 2 people have shown up, 3 have cancelled, and the rest are no shows. I'm a bit dispirited right now. #therapysky

Just saying, from a point of view of anti-authoritarian streaks in us as a people, there aren't many countries with an official National Monument for Conscientious Objectors. The UK for example, has a memorial stone.

Cook is someone I hold so many different thoughts about at the same time. I've been on the replica Endeavour, and that's not a life I could have tolerated, let alone led a bunch of men, and difficult scientists. Yet I'd happily keep watch for the cops while someone took a leak on his statue.

I recommended the Christchurch Budget Advice Service to someone last night. I was following up this morning and found they had closed. And their domain had expired. And had been taken by a casino advert. Angry isn't even the beginning of what I feel about this.

I'm a diabetic, and I rely on a personal relationship with my pharmacist as well as my doctor. And he is struggling, because hair bands and umbrellas, as good as the mark up on them are, doesn't keep a pharmacy open. I'm sure the pharmacists at the big stores are good, but I'll never meet them.

I got busted for speeding on my motorbike last week. Entirely my fault, I thought it was a 70. The fine and the points absolutely have an effect in making me aware and a safer rider.

Exactly, If it was the OPAC then it would have been an OK deal. I worked in one library where corporate brought in 3 project managers to do the 'new library website', not knowing what an OPAC was. It broke all of them.... Libraries are incredibly complex digital environments

He's using the very modern idea of discourse analysis to deny the existence of accountability. It's about as anti-ethical as it gets, and he might as well be talking about flat earth.
