my favourite thing of today is how often i've noticed myself having a little boogie around in the office. just before lunch i turned around and caught aimee smirking at me while i was bouncing to boney m. that's a good office vibe, guys.

i really want to know what local chefs think when they put "thai beef salad" on the menu because i don't think i've ever had a single one that was actually thai-style and you can't just pour over sweet chili sauce and call it thai ffs

spending some time staring vacantly to the south at the sea from my office window, there are breakers frothing in and out, slow white semaphores signalling directly to me that i really should just go to the beach and i need to find a bicycle for these upcoming long summer evenings

when meta launches a spy-necklace and apple launches an ugly-ass foldable phone; who are all those people in the audience? are they 'fans' or just employees? ever since ballmer ran around screaming i've never been able to like comprehend these events.

still frame of the simpsons. homer, the kids and marge are in the car, with flanders, maude, rodd, and todd crammed in there too. everyone looks pissed at homer. 
homer reaches toward the stereo and the caption reads 
Don't worry.I brought my "Rappin' Ronnie 
Reagan" tape. It always makes 
the photo-op go faster.

It should read "trip go faster" but I am making a joke about trump and melania looking at the camera because woof

on my wander back to the office after eating my lunch i noticed there was a TPU caravan trailer in the octagon, and wow my mind immediately went to a dark place. luckily i tend to allow my thoughts to pass on rather than acting on them but wouldn't it be a nice image, TPU getting got in the octy?

that lil karure really is so frickin sweet and cute. i imagine one flitting around me as i walk through a quiet ngahere in my mind, deftly eating up the sandflies so they can't bite me, and eating up the midges so they don't get in my mouth, which is hanging open gawping happily 😍

i wish the library had a horror section instead of kinda jamming them in the "mysteries/thriller" area. a sticker of a lil sherlock hat or a lil gun on the spine is not indicative of a juicy gross horror creep fest. i'm that cute weird kid from the viral video, but "horrors" instead of "turtles"
