A workmate occasionally asks me "living the dream?" as a greeting, in an "everything is awful isn't it?" kinda way.
Well. I have a wife and kids I love, a happy home, car I like to drive, a little more money than month.
So yes, I am living the dream I had 20 years ago. It's good to remember that.

Funny how gigs can make me feel 20 mentally but 80 physically, but so worth it.
Three gigs in two weeks and the buzz will last a long time. Thank you @wardxvi.bsky.social and @pulveriseuk.bsky.social, such an amazing set of shows, appreciate all the effort you put into it.

Well, at home, I now have the agonising wait until I can leave work and listen (until the download code appears anyway).
I've not been this excited to listen to an album in quite a while, really looking forward to diving into @wardxvi.bsky.social's third album.

Look, it's not that I'm egotistical or have trouble passing a mirror or anything, but I just want to say that after my music video debut in Square Wild's 'Sloth' last year, I am ruddy chuffed to show my mad 'walking through a door' skillz in @wardxvi.bsky.social's new video for 'Legion'.

I have decided I might start wearing a hat.
Is this an age thing? Nobody warned me about this, that I'll one day suddenly find myself online browsing fedoras, trilbys, pork pies and cheeky little toppers wondering what best defines me.

Such a good night last night, seeing Marisa and the Moths. I needed that, singing my little tone deaf heart out while lost in the crowd!
The whole band and crew are such lovely people too.
And yes, yes I did dye my beard pink.

Is there a word for the anxiety you feel when you're rolling slowly in heavy traffic, look in the rear view mirror and notice the driver of the car rolling up behind you is looking down, almost if they have their phone in their lap?

If we hadn't looked the other way and tolerated Clippy back then we wouldn't be suffering this AI malarkey now.

It's Monday, I'm at work and my new boots are hurting. Still, earbuds are in.
First up, @milliemanders.bsky.social. Personal opinion and YMMV, but this album is sooo good, one of the rare ones I listen to start to finish without skipping a track.
Beautiful, honest, rightfully angry.

Surely any time saving benefits of ChatGPT are lost because of the sheer amount of time people who use the glorified gobby spellchecker keep wanging on to each other about how they use it.

Back in the office then and here, in no particular order, are this season's most annoying ringtones-
i) The 'tok tak ting' one that sounds like a wood deerscarer
ii) The simple 'ding' one
iii) Honking clown car horn
iv) The tinkling one like a fairy falling down five flights of stairs

A full set of beard chalks for Christmas? This is going to be a very colourful year!
Ignore the dragged through a hedge backwards and upside down look, I hadn't hot brushed, softened, balmed, oiled, waxed and combed yet.
Because yes, yes I am high maintenance, darlink.

I do like the cut of BlueSky's jib, but I can't help miss the Temu ads on Twitter, if only to see what the latest fever dream of someone from the Retirement Home for Distressed Product Designers had conjured up.
