Maybe, for my next piece, I should write a wee acoustic number with this AI monstrosity as the lyrics. Just for the craic. It's giving Smashing Pumpkins "Lily" vibes, but for the AI age.

Was just waiting at the bus stop and a white van sped past me blaring Slade's "I Wish It Could Be Christmas" at top volume. Pretty damn weeeeeeeeeird.

There is - what I could only refer to as - a troop of about 8-10 year old children marching (dancing) up and down my street right now singing the entirety of the YMCA repeatedly (and badly) at the top of their lungs and it is absolutely *glorious* 😂

Had a dream last night that Tilda Swinton was leading a militia, trapped me in the children's clothing shop in a massive shopping centre, then bombed the absolute shit out of the whole thing. What did I ever do to you, Tilda? WHAT DID I EVER DO TO YOU‽

Saw a man living his best life this morning; just eating an entire family sized platter of sushi whilst casually sauntering past QUB's Lanyon Building this morning at 7am. Incredible work. No notes.

See also: Christmas "break". One rewritten topic down... And just the two papers, an assignment, a research protocol, a HEA application, a meeting agenda, and some conference organisation work to go. 🤦🏼‍♀️ (@phdcomics.com)

2 panel comic titled summer. The first panel is titled"what most people think academics do all summer" and shows a happy person with their arms up saying "yay no work". The second panel is titled "what most academics actually do" and had the person in the same pose saying "yay! Now I can FINALLY work!".

Finally was bothered to put that Medard and Nicholas demo onto streaming too. More experimental than the other bits, but fun to make the sea through a synth biggest streaming platform link: open.spotify.com/album/2iCCPB... Obvs available on others, which I would encourage you to switch to ASAP

Bust out laughing at this as I just spent an hour explaining Ireland/Northern Ireland/The Troubles whilst traumatising my Korean teacher with talk of bombs, bombscares and evacuations and trying to explain why English policemen wearing those *stupid* hats was so hilarious when I moved to Liverpool

Found an old song down the back of the sofa, made for a comp that wasn't released. Original files are lost to hard drive death, so here's a dodgy-vocals, truly unpolished version instead.

Please, gig-goers. I am so sick of being forced to watch gigs through other peoples' phones, held above their heads. Please put them away and just watch with your own eyeballs: I promise you'll have more fun and you won't block the view of *everyone* behind you 😭

One of the comments my PhD supervisor made was that I use the word "whilst" more than anyone he's ever known. I removed a bunch before submission but just did a final "whilst" tally as I prep for my viva: 130. And that's with a load *removed. 😂

John Field's Nocturne no5 in B flat Major opening the last episode of "Heavenly Ever After" may be redeeming it a little before the episode even starts. My favorite ever piece from my piano exams, fittingly soundtracking a (fake) evenr for a book titled "The Weight of Memory" = 🖤
