Went to the games fair (by accident) Usual even split between joyless Menial Job Simulators, Outrun clones but with itchy Sharpie-pen graphics and the I Don't Know What I'm Doing Here Either guys Look: if you have to use the phrase "or something" three times when trying to explain your own game,

Aalesunds FK shirt circa 2018. It is vivid orange with a sponsor's blue and white logo in the centre.

Har brukt nesten hele dag i å rydde opp etter kloakkatastrofe. Er bare nå kommet inn fra hagen, der naboen stirret litt mens jeg skylte ut bøtter med gule gummihansker og plastforkle kvart på midnatt. Blir det festlig eller fælt hvis kjæresten sniker seg rundt for å ikke bli sett resten av uka?

Utforsket sommerhyttas babyflygel, sist stemt i forrige århundre. Etter utmattende elimineringsprosess etablerte en skala som unngår de syrligste tonene og de tangentene som gir bare et ullent klunk. Det var bare Will You Love Me Tomorrow, men i noen minutter følte jeg meg som Keith Jarrett i Køln.

Remembering Trans March a couple years ago where I almost dropped my skirt in the urinal of a port-o-potty. “IT IS TOO EARLY IN THE MORNING TO BE COVERED IN THE PISS OF STRANGERS,” I shrieked. One port-o-potty away, a pitch-perfect Gandalf replied “AND WHAT ABOUT THE PISS OF VERY OLD FRIENDS?”

Over the last couple months my preferred weekly language podcast has dropped first the grammar dive and then the vocab section, and now sounds like your vodka aunt left a 3am voice note just to say that she's fine, it's fine, hey everything's totally fine.

The prospect of Nigel Farage fighting a people vs the establishment by-election in which the only other candidate is Count Binface - is too hilarious for words.

Neighbour's kids are having an end-of-school party out the back They have just discovered 60s soul. That is, they keep starting various Stax songs and deciding thirty seconds in that this one's not as good as Knock On Wood, so let's just hear that again. So far, seven times (I am fine with this)

I want to see a comic about the CIA trying to murder Clark Kent and making it look like an accident. Not because they know he's Superman but because he's a really good journalist. Make it a comedy because the CIA assassins can't figure out why their attempts keep failing.

This is literally the cover that started early me on collecting that run... I remember it hanging behind the counter between issues of Avengers and Metal Men, knowing that it had to be mine, and purchasing it with trembling hand.

This era of Iron Man was just about the first run of anything that I seriously collected, and it was only much later that I properly appreciated Tuska's versatility and Craig's track record

The story itself is standard stuff, enlivened a bit by the affectedly wonky layouts; the jumble of polygons I like to think of as "Chocolonely panels"
A page of comic artwork. Iron Man is getting beaten up and every panel is a different irregular quadrilateral.

Iron Man #13 by Goodwin/Tuska/Craig. No colourist credited, which is a shame because even in bottom-of-the-hamster-cage grade it's certainly among the redder covers on my shelf
The very tatty cover of Iron Man #13, UK edition (1969). Iron Man and an express train rush toward the rampaging Controller. All three are bright red.

I have just learned that although Finnish and Icelandic have almost nothing in common as languages, these four words mean and sound exactly the same in both: -Meistari (master) -Keisari (emperor) -Runkari (masturbator) -Súkkulaðirúsína (chocolate raisin)
