Kate’s allegedly a human (although increasingly right-wing bigots would say otherwise). She’s definitely not a vampire, despite what some other people claim. She’s also mostly built out of spite and overcoming oppositional-sexism, racism, and other random bullshit.
So she’s either a human or a lizard in disguise sent to destroy all of humanity.
Either way, she’s here to reassure that it’s all fine.

Best laid plans of mice and Kate
The plan was simple: – Pop new gear cable onto bike – Paint door – Nip out for a nice cup of coffee and a prod at Bristol Archives… ….it didn’t quite work out that way.

Computah Debates
So, my MacBook is dying. Or at least, chronically unwell. After 7 years’ service it’s started to develop new and unexpected problems. For a long time it’s had the “crash because one of the SIMM sockets is poorly fitted” memory corruption issues. It’s done this ever since I stuck RAM into the second socket; and…

Daredevil
Watched Daredevil, courtesy of a friend. Broadly speaking I enjoyed it. I watched it to the end of the season, anyhow. However, if sense8 went for stereotypes, Dear Goddess, could Daredevil have got anymore hopeless on that front? And oh look, they killed off or disposed of *EVERY* non-white actor by the end of the…

Meanwhile, on ebay
So ebay, for some reason, conflates ‘Steal’ – the 1995 film with Alfred Molina, with ‘The Steal’, a 2002 film. Due to a moment of idiotdom I ended up with the latter not the former. I’d be more annoyed, but I paid £1.99 for it, so I don’t really find it in my heart to…

Baby / No Baby update
When you read lesbian baby-making blogs online, you notice something odd. A lot of them just end. They peter our, no explanation. “We’re trying again!” they announce, and then they’re gone. Just not updated anymore. And you know why. Because people started those blogs with a dream, and then the dream is shattered, and the…

you know those days…
…when it seems that you’re touched by incompetence? So far: – forgot to charge my phone last night – forgot laundry detergent – failed to check when they start serving food at the launderette – forgot stuff for an appointment – realised I’d not actually got any change to get a drink (when I was…

S’not completely stopped me.
One of the many things I despise about allergy season is the tiredness. This is at least partially down to the fact that normally I’d have a lie-in after night-shifts. Not a long one, but a bit of one. And I’d usually sleep until about 8. Unfortunately, in allergy season, not only do I not…

So, they fixed the brakes…
…and were very apologetic, because the gear cable, made from unobtainum, broke at the same time. I may be breaking out the pillar drill and a piece of brass or aluminium to make a BSA -> Sturmey-Archer cable adaptor.

So I watched Sense8
Now, before I start, I have a soft spot for the Wachowski’s. I loved the Matrix, I loved Jupiter Ascending, I even rather liked Cloud Atlas (despite having multiple issues with their blackface malarky). So when I’d heard about sense8 it’d gone on my calendar with an alert that popped up and said “Check if…

General exhaustion
So, I think I’m going to blame it on the night shifts; that and the allergy season which appears to have kicked off in spectacular style this year. But whatever the reason I’m knackered today. Completely cream-crackered. I had hoped to get *lots* done today, but have largely abandoned it in favour of watching Sense8…
