Nerd Church - We Don't Make Good Decisions When We're Tired, OK?



'Three in the morning is never the time to try and sort out your life.'

- Matt Haig, Reasons To Stay Alive


'We Don't Make Good Decisions When We're Tired, OK?' with starry background



Most of us have been there - it's a ridiculous time in the night, you're utterly shattered, and you're still trying to get things done.

You inevitably make a mistake -

because you should be sleeping 

- and you decide that your entire life is a sh**-show, and you need to leave everything you know behind and move to the mountains and breed chinchillas or something equally random.

(...Unless that's a long-held ambition of yours, in which case don't let me stop ya!)

Month In Review(s) - January 2022

 

January was the perfect example of pandemic time

- it simultaneously lasted five minutes and three thousand years.

(Not that my experience of time as a concept ever manages to be one speed, but this is especially marked.)


January - Ionawr



So, this is 2022.

...I feel like it's best not to tempt fate by saying any more than that 😅

Nerd Church - Covid 19: Why Partygate Brought Me To Tears

 

(Warning: this post discusses Covid 19 (which you probably guessed from the title), death, and grief)


Covid 19: Why Partygate Brought Me To Tears



As I write this post, Boris Johnson is still prime minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (to give us our long and official title.)

Who knows whether he'll be prime minister by the time this post goes live, but for now he is prime minister.



He should not be.

I don't pretend to be able to predict the future - I think we've all given up on trying to foresee what comes next - but I hope he resigns. 

As he should have done already. So many times over.

Friday Fics Fix - Once Upon A SamBucky Fairytale

 

'“Um,” said Sam, looking from Bucky to the golden retriever, “Do you know the dog?”

“Uh,” said Bucky, picking the honestly very large dog up, and walking around Sam, “Sort of? Could you… wait a moment? Watch the soup.”'
