Be Good. Be Good. Be Good.

I was going to say this had better be good but, actually, you’re following Blade Runner. This had better be awesome.

The trailer does feel like the right world, and Vengelis may not be doing the sound track but Jóhann Jóhannsson is obviously heavily riffing on his score.

Arrives , despite the trailer end getting me momentarily excited for June (damn, US time formats)

Dangerous Sticker

So, this is Heather’s niece’s Evie’s birthday present (she’s one!). Note the sticker in the middle:

A vtech toy for ages 12 to 36 months

Crazy Legs Learning Bug

A vtech toy for ages 12 to 36 months

It reads “For your child’s safety, please remove and discard this label before inserting the spinning baby bug [whatever one of those is!]”.

Surely if the sticker wasn't there at all it wouldn't be dangerous and need removing

Self Refering Sticker

Surely if the sticker wasn’t there at all it wouldn’t be dangerous and need removing

Which begs the question, why not simply not put a label there to be dangerous in the first place.

A Short Birthday Remembrance

It would have been my mam’s birthday today. I miss her silliness and warmth and wisdom. My life has twisted and turned perhaps more (certainly more sharply) than ever before since she has been gone. I wish she had been there to guide me. I wish I could introduce Heather to her. I wish we could have a silly conversation, and a hug.

I raise a glass of whisky tonight, to the best, to my dwarfy.
