36 Hour Journey, No Luggage
The curse of Heathrow’s terminal 5 has fallen upon us, and we must now wait for our cases to arrive. This means we must also go shopping for replacement clothing wearing the same underwear that we had on for about 48 hours. Nice. Trans-atlantic travel is something of a trek at the best of times, but with a five-month old along for the ride it is really something else. I normally pass the...

I never get sick of looking at these things. I think it’s the Tripods-esque feel of them that attracts me. I used to dream about these kinds of places when I was a kid.

Dealing With The Fear
I’ve been dealing with a resurgence of the Fear recently, brought on, I believe, by an accumulation of stresses and anxieties. The pills are helping, but every day is still something of a fight. We have a major milestone due at the end of the week which is not going well. I’ve recently replaced 90% of my animation team with new folk who, whilst willing, need training up in the various...

– My friend Jimmy, at lunch today.
Unexpected Response
I just juggled three oranges (pretty badly). People were more impressed than I expected. Their response was too favourable, and thus unnerving. .

This is pretty wonderful.
Hmm, Firefox’s twitter extension is kinda interesting. You actually type in the address bar. Which is, frankly, a little weird.

The Three Shots Below
Really make me want to try some square-format. Lovely stuff all round.
Trying to create order from other people’s chaos. That is what my days consist of right now.

– Intro to Magickal Childe by Electric Wizard. (via inky) You sure about that one? I thought it was the intro to Wizard in Black, from the ‘Come My Fanatics’ album. One way or another, you can’t beat a bit of Electric Wizard.
Heat
Summer weather seems to have arrived, and the roads are packed with folks heading to the beach in Venice and Santa Monica. It’s times like this that I’m happy I have a bike. Now I just need to make the thing roadworthy again.

– Love Puppy. I get this ALL the time. (via david) I’ve spent my whole life hearing this shit. Once, when I was younger - and therefore angrier - it was said to me by a rather portly fellow. I replied that he could stand to lose a few pounds. I was astonished to find, not only that he was angry...
