Being sick is the only time I regret being single.

Anyway, am better today. Been over 24hrs since I've puked.

She still didn't go to school, mind. Last night was one of those where she finally passed out at 5am, and sending a 14 year old to school on ~2hrs sleep strikes me as unwise.

She's not gone back to school after Christmas yet. First week, she had what seemed to be the flu Mon-Thurs, then noro symptoms Fri-Sat. Could have gone back yesterday, but I've got it off her and getting her dressed while I'm fighting to stop both ends squirting ain't bloody happening.

My daughter bouncing on her bed singing, "I'm a bird, motherfucker, I'm a bird!" at 3am when I'm down with norovirus.

I bloody adore it when you get to be cartoony.

And they are glorious!

I'm sure the day will come where I won't find them hilarious, but today isn't it.

And, shit, it just clicked. Git.

Played it once. Did not get on with the building shit.

Indeed. She regularly drops off about 2am, 4-5am a couple of times a month. 6am on occasion.

Fortunately, she likes to sit in bed singing rude songs rather than bouncing about. Nowt like trying to kip while she's belting out, "I'm a bird, motherfucker!"

Mine had to have the day off today, because she finally fell asleep at 5AM.

Glorious!

The 22nd Amendment limits someone being elected President more than twice, but says nothing about someone ascending to the position.

Why, hello Presidential Succession Act.

Mind, given the timeline we're in, this would be followed by Trump being made Speaker and them resigning. The truly scary thing is that would be perfectly constitutional.

Even thinking that plausible is how come the universe will give us President Boebert and VP Mace.

Loathed them. They were my last resort when desperate for entertainment on rainy Sunday afternoons in the '70s. There'd always be a bit of foot or hand that didn't stick, and the end product looked terrible with all the divots where you had to press really hard to gets the buggers off the sheet.

Greg: Did you have asthma?

Alex: Well, no. I was a robot, I didn't have lungs.

His mummified form was superb character design. It almost seemed like the Japanese animation studio forgot it was meant to be a show for American kids and really leant into the horror with him.

ITV didn't have any Olympics coverage in '84 because of industrial action, so they aired V: The Miniseries and V: The Final Battle instead; after News at Ten, as I recall.

The series proper aired late night in '85, at least on Central. Not sure if it was networked.

Good to hear, chap.
