working through a flyblown found-objecty OUP collection of science fiction shorts (roughly 1900-1990). Early phase: BATHE IN/DRINK RADIUM! Middle: OMG we’re all dead from nuclear. Later: Earth is overcrowded.

y’know I kinda enjoyed the whole pain of making a USB booter for that ancient Mac Pro. Not the trip to Currys for a USB 2.0 memory stick so much, but it has reminded me to keep on top of that stuff a bit more. Yes.

I never had any interest in computers until I barged some time in the computer room at St Martins SoA on Long Acre. They had Macs and a PostScript laser printer and suddenly text + image were a thing *I* could generate. I went back to my painting cubicle at WSCAD and pondered this, long.

Back up before ship out *sniffle*

been watching a show on HBO called ‘Succession’. Check it out. Sound of the Summer.

in a budget version of Virgin Atlantic’s “if not now, when?” ad campaign, me plus 1 are cooking our 60+ Oyster passes by heading to the ends of tube lines AND WALKING BACK INTO LONDON. Today: Piccadilly’s Heathrow T5.

I don’t know why my phone tried to correct that by adding ‘UGH’ on the end.

Finished at Charing Cross station by the Q. E. cross. I saw a lot of London I haven’t seen for 35+ years. Ow.

went to Tao of Glass at the theatre in Soho: an enjoyable play but I was distracted by also having to serve as a member of The Galactic Council maintaining an uneasy peace among the diverse civilisations of the Universe:
