Rainsparkle Derpgoat
In recognition of the local June weather I shall share Rainsparkle Derpgoat! I already shared it on fb, but I kind of like the derpiness so I thought I'd also post it to somewhere that has a logical and linear progression of everything I post instead of whatever the host provider thinks other people should see. Again, why are we all using that junk ( Read more... ) -
Sketchy
Since the 2 main people who still (cross)post to LJ on my friends page are currently posting art, I thought I'd share some too. Just 'cause.

Postmodern Jukebox
I really like what Postmodern Jukebox are doing. They take modern(ish) songs and cover them in a variety of older music styles from the 1920s through 1960s, which can produce some quite strikingly different results (for example they have a cover of Taylor Swift's "Blank Space" done in a cabaret/ lounge style that makes it sound approximately 1000 ( Read more... ) -
Sentimentality, I has it
I was going to have an early night tonight, but then I sat and watched the anime "Wolf Children" (Ōkami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki). Now I am full of all the feels. My younger self would be appalled at how much I cry at sad parts of movies these days and I had to keep pausing it to shout/ explain parts of it to my housemate (who couldn't see or hear it ( Read more... ) -

Who needs sleep when I can watch entire Grand Designs episodes on YouTube? I'm sure my housemates wont mind putting away the food delivery tomorrow by themselves... -

I'm rather glad I managed to do most of my laundry on Saturday, because my part of England appears to be ushering in the meteorological summer with wind and rain. I do wish I hadn't been lazy and done my sheets as well though. Oh well, it can't keep raining forever I guess.

Eurovision 2015
So tonight was Eurovision and for a change my housemates weren't spending the evening at someone elses party, so we all sat around the TV eating chinese takeaway and scoring/ heckling the entries. We're pretty sure the "theme" of this year was drugs, what with Austria looking completely stoned (we think the "piano fire" was when he accidentally ( Read more... ) -

Recently I started a new game of Crusader Kings 2, or "that wacky alternative history game" as I like to think of it. This time around I started off on the Indian sub-continent as a follower of Jainism. Weirdly when my territory was annexed by a larger Hindu neighbour they offered to install me as their marshal and set me to work training their ( Read more... ) -

I hate it when I have to get up in the night needing to pee and open my bedroom door to find a cat camping my spawn point.
Pooka loves to sleep outside my door because she gets to be a trip hazard in 3 different directions at once and there's no chance that I can get back in to my room without her breaking in to one of her rarely seen super-speed ( Read more... ) -

This morning I spent an hour grubbing around on the floor trying to figure out why my computer wasn't working properly/ showing any images once it started windows. Turns out gravity was the culprit. Or rather it was my "new" graphics card gradually slipping out of alignment with its port because I didn't realise it needed a screw on one end to hold ( Read more... )
