Might take a fair bit of work … and may not really happen, but I’m contemplating moving to WordPress.

Let’s see how that goes.

13×07.
The end of the season.
And probably, the end of an era.

So it could well be the last unabashedly politically incorrect German related World War joke on TV for quite some time.

On a Beatles trip currently.
Such simplicity and brevity!
Amazing.

The Song of the day. Very apt.

Here and Now

I guess that’s all forever is. Just one long trail of nows. And I guess all you can do is try and live one now at a time without getting too worked up about the last now or the next now.

You are watching Top Gear with your brother and James May cracks a very dirty but extremely subtle sex joke. You look sideways at him, wondering if he is laughing just because everyone else is. But you also really wish he got it. And you don’t know whether to feel relieved because of the former or a strange pride because of the latter.

That is me.
