On the upside I am listening to Motown so, if you gotta blow your ear drums out ignoring bigots that's the music to do it to. I could recommend about 1 thousand aggressive angry pumped up going to war metal albums if need be LOLZ

I'll listen to just about anything and everything, it's just what strikes my mood.
However at work I try to keep it mostly instrumental stuff so as not to distract from my job.
The Motown is a treat for today cause it's the end of the work week and slow in the office at the moment.

My costume for the Timelash convention arrived! I will be going as a headless monk. Hopefully I find a Silent or Madame Vastra to have some great group pictures taken (Convention will be in October).
I wear a black balaclava to simulate being headless. I also got a leather bag so I can carry my money and mobile phone. Creepy enough for you?

If you do find a Silent for pictures, how will you know you did? And who are the Silent anyway?

Very creepy, thank you! It reminds me of medieval banquet I went to years ago for a work night out. There we were, all sitting behind these ornate wooden tables and huge amounts of food while a group of period dressed actors put on various performances. One character, 'Death' was dressed in a very similar costume to yours. He'd stand silently behind you while you were eating, unnoticed at first. When people noticed his shadowy unmoving form, they'd jump at first and then laugh. But Death wouldn't move on. He'd just stay there, still and silent after the initial thrill had gone, and people - myself included - wouldn't know quite how to react. After a while, they'd turn to see if he was still there, and he'd gone - to stand behind some other poor soul! Wonderful! |

Luckily my face is hidden, so I do not have to bite my tongue to keep a straight face.  |

Just received a job offer for a teaching position at a university in MALAYSIA. On the island of Borneo.
I would be teaching vet students.
The offer comes from one of my Malaysian friends who works there now.
Well, I am really tempted to consider this.
This is how bad I feel here at the moment, that I consider running away to teach in Borneo.
I will be back to wok tomorrow.
And after all that hassle and upset the week before I went on leave, I think a professional chat with my superiors is long overdue.

You could call it running away, or you could call it an opportunity. If you are not happy where you are maybe you need a change, sometimes life offers you one. Definitely think its worth serious consideration. But important question, do they know about Big Finish in Borneo? |

Yes, modern technology is a marvel.
Sadly it is squandered by too many idiots.
I had a great time at the pool, by the way. Fantastic weather today and lovely small town public pool to go too, even if it is a 25min drive.

We were literally talking about the lack of Australian Who Conventions in this 60th year 2 nights ago! shutupbanks , 5 cities- meaning you will get to go?! (As we don't live in Sydney/Melbourne/Brisbane which Promoters Always go to guaranteed for any/every type of event). Sign me up for 1 "Butcher of Brisbane" 5th Doctor cd cover to be signed by Janet. It's been 10 years since I last met her, Katy Manning and Wendy Padbury. Sophie I met last year but will gladly again.

Castellan
There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

Theory.. Notice the "FIVE" in "five states" is highlighted? An online mate theorised that means 5th Doctor(?) or 5 doctors coming down. I would get my "The Four Doctors" cd cover signed by all 4..  |

Microsoft Copilot's recall feature. Goodbye privacy. I read up on this... it's for select laptops that haven't even hit the shelves yet and there's a way to turn the feature off. You can also just not update to windows 11... for a time.
Anyways here's hoping the EUs new AI and internet privacy laws help to safeguard the rest of us for awhile.
