Just discovered the phrase Schroedinger's Douchebag, and I need to add this to my vocabulary.

Pretty sure soon I'll do my grocery shopping and not be able to eat anything until I've downloaded an app for it.

"What a nice orange! Better register on the Orinj app and give them all my data so I can enjoy it fully and receive orange-related news, alerts and updates for the rest of my life."

Kids today have grown up without DVD director commentary, and boy does that show.

I wanted to recreate the whole video, but for some reason my gf didn't want to camp out in a park doing time-lapse for 24 hours.

I genuinely rewatch them in batches regularly - every one of them is beyond impressive. Even hunted down one of the locations in LA last month.

Just heard someone from OK Go say “There’s no idea until you’ve played.”

I think I’ve found a new motto.

It cannot be the law - that’s gender discrimination. Especially as I’m nominally the prime carer.

I suspect it was more down to force of habit, but it angers me no end.

Healthcare professionals: if you’re dealing with a child and their divorced parents, please don’t automatically just talk to the mum and exclude the dad. Especially after you’re told that custody and parental responsibility is entirely shared 50/50.

Thankyouplease

Great. Now my earworm has woken up.

For someone who doesn't believe in reincarnation, I spend far too much time happily planning how much better I'm going to do it when I get my second go at being in my 20s.

A day will come when cooking instruction writers will accept that none of us know the wattage of our microwaves, or preheat our ovens.

But it is not this day.

I just wrap my head around why I'd set an alarm to wake me from a nice sleep only to lay in a half-sleep funk which is neither as good as being awake nor as good as being asleep.

I took my other half to a terrarium making workshop - it was great!

And I’m quietly impressed with the terrarium she put together.

Mystery date today! Well, it’s not really a mystery for me as I booked it, but she doesn’t know where we’re going.

I hope this turns out at least half as well as I think it will…

It's my boy's 19th birthday tomorrow and he was supposed to be having the boys over for a poker night, but every single one of them has pulled out. So instead he's coming over and we're going to drink beer and watch Taskmaster for the evening.

If you've got specific questions let me know and I'll ask her - and I can probably get her to ask Dannii specifically if you want. 😀

I appreciate I'm not a woman, but my other half works for QVC and made me watch two hours of Dannii Minogue's new line, and the petite jeans on there look pretty amazing.

Loads of give, properly petite sizing (apparently that's different to just short legs) and looked good to my untrained eyes.
