Tidying up the house, I found a 3 CD boxed set of Gregorian chants. It is suddenly the early '90s again. I feel the need to source some random joss sticks, a ghutrah, and some bell-bottomed jeans ragged at the hem.

When I wrote my PhD and when I wrote books and also other things besides, I would add the word 'BANANAS' into any place that I knew I would need to go back and check before publication. The ol' Ctrl+f BANANAS find. But it always made me want to write something about bananas someday.

Hi fans. I've something playing on Resonance Extra today just before 2pm UK time as part of CRiSAP's 'a mixtape to the future'. (I've also a film opening today's programme at the Flat Earth Film Festival, but if you're not in SeyΓ°isfjΓΆrΓ°ur then: π, so forget it) Let's all have a great day, right?

The Lego rip-off advertising on ig a "futuristic police cell," which is a Dr Who TARDIS rip-off, which in itself is a copy of a police box from the '40s-50s. Amazing for obvious reasons re: "futuristic," ~~ something something something an essay written by an AI bot trained on Baudrillard.

Do you lock your brain into your day? Apparently I seem to do this, especailly when it's busy. Like, a cancelled meeting will create a weird hole that I then seem incapable of filling with something worthwhile. Not complaining, merely curious of this factory setting.

I was using it recently and found this in both the UK and in Copenhagen. Buses that didn't exist (and had never existed) and directions that took me to the wrong place. Something has fallen off.

Hi, cyberfriends. So the 'my little buttercup' song from The Three Amigos just sprang unbidden into my waking mind direct from the id, and now I wanna watch that film. But I'm scared because I haven't seen it since the '80s. Is it... okay?

Joking aside, this particular family is closely tied up with some heavy and complicated feelings that my mother holds (and to some extend i do to) about that time in my family's life, crossing, as it does, the invasion and its immediate aftermath. So. 8 out of 10 spookies.

Now, here's the thing. He died two days ago. His ghost is not visiting me in my dream. So I'm either psychicly linked to my mother (possibly), or I'm psychicly linked to my email inbox (oh).

Awoke from a dream in which I was trying to recognise a man staring at me from a military-style parade and wearing my beloved Kuwaiti fawra bisht. "That's mine! How did he get hold of it?" When I wake up, I get an email from my mother that a family friend from Kuwait, a soldier, has died.

Also, while I have you here on the subject of technology, contact lenses should be embedded with the tech from key rings that whilstle back, so when I drop one trying to put it in I don't spend twenty minutes searching with two differently-focused eyes only to then find it stuck to my belly.

Seeing an artist being described in marketing by an LLM is a tragedy. Like, say something. Anything. Don't be afraid. Say nothing at all. Anything is better than running them through a generator. Art practice descriptor clichΓ©s are off-putting enough without them having never even touched flesh.

Spent the day with the LungA School talking together about the art they were making, and it's always such a damn treat. Being around people being creative, artists making art, is such an intensity.

I found the lid.

I found the lid.
Two things I don't know rn:
1. I don't know what this music is; it only had an X drawn on the CD in Sharpie. But I will listen to it anyway.
2. I don't know where the lid is to the pot I want to cook rice in. But there are other pots.
