I am only mildly hungover.

Holy shit. I came out to my best friend, and he was awesome. I’m very, very lucky to have him. I had to get pretty drunk to pluck up the courage though. 🫠

They turned out ok! The greenish tint is reduced on the second coat.

Ok so the blue makes my fingers look I dipped them in a chemical toilet. Let’s see what a second coat does.

@mavica_again ah! I see. My typos are now just bonus charm.

Yeah, I see the typo, but I guess editing is disabled.

Life got busy, but now the lkid’s birthday party is out of the way I can instead focus on more superficial things. I had purple nails for the last week, but the purple was so dark it looked black anyway, see? I have some blue to try next, which looks like it might come out a bit lighter. Or maybe I’ll just turn out goth again.

@mavica_again through judicious application of dowsing rods.

I don't know what triggered it, but I suddenly got nostalgic for time spent in a lab reverse engineering some janky command set of a microwave synthesiser over GPIB. GPIB itself is cool because each plug is also a socket, so you can daisy chain them. Then I got to thinking about the control pads of the Panasonic 3DO, since those were also daisy-chain-able.

Mood lifted by sudden requirement to buy some gifts at the Lego store.

Fuck. My mood is through the floor. Why can't I ever just fucking sleep? I'm my own worst enemy. I'd rather toot than just go to bed.

Spelt onomatopoeia correctly on my first try.

I’m out and about in Brighton with the little one. Pelicano made us a flat white and a babycino with a little artistic flair.

Pigeons are really interesting. Don’t come to me if you can’t handle crop milk facts.

My pigeon milk fact I dropped in a work channel somehow jumped the gap to real life and I could tell the people who knew because they couldn’t look at me.

Wow. What a day.

Today I am at #ffconf!

That special satisfaction you get from using twice as much marmite as intended on a slice of toast. So much flavour. Bliss. I probably won't taste salt again for days.

And now my wife introduces me to the weird little pot of acetone and foam you can put a finger in and it all instantly comes off. What is this sorcery!?

Today someone in Lush complimented me on my nails. And I got a raise, which I assume is also because of the nails.
