Playing around with Apple Pro customizations that I may or may not purchase. My you can make these pricey beasts.

Mortgage Matthew has been tasked with battling heroically on my behalf to force the gold-hoarding warlocks of Nationwide to trump up.
Happy Birthday @zefrank. I’m sure I’ll be the first to wish you congratulations.

Damn you world for making me do the work I’ve been procrastinating since this morning.
So, Diana *still* wasn’t murdered? Let’s shake the magic 8-Ball again and see if we get the right answer *this* time…
I sent 236 more tweets this March than last. Scary.
“All men having power ought to be mistrusted”. James Madison
I wish Facebook would make their RSS feeds a little more reliable.
Monday? Really? Are you sure?
The Orphanage was genius. But not quite as scary as I thought it might have been.
About to watch The Orphanage. Brrr.
Cooking a Sunday (veggie) roast, and listening to Desert Island Discs. I do like Sundays.

How to Avoid Huge Ships - John W. Trimmer on... →
“Before I bought this book I often found avoiding huge ships to be a constant problem. Not a week would go by without some sort unforseen collision occuring and ruining my day.”
I appear to look at my phone at 13:37 every day. The universe appears to be telling me something very geekily.
“Where there is sorrow there is holy ground.” Oscar Wilde, De Profundis
Do the clocks go back tonight? Why does no-one tell me these things?
Wow. Valleywag really are entirely devoid of a sense of humour. Blimey. http://tinyurl.com/3yavpp
Aw, poor @katiee. Your grumbling was clearly well-founded :o(
Shopping complete. Sad to note that I’ve missed the best post-easter chocolate offers. Darnit. Now for some exciting housework.
'Expelled' - the creationist movie →
Um. Did anyone tell that subtitling it ‘No Intelligence Allowed’ might not, er, give quite the message they wanted to?
A social worker gets mugged, and then gives his... →
Wow. Nice chap. All he asked in return was the knife that the mugger used to mug him. Blimey.
I suppose sooner or later I’m going to have to turn Beirut down and go to bed. I’ve got to go shopping in the morning after all.

Pitchfork interview with Colin Greenwood →
Nice chap that Colin.
My recommendation is never watch Cannibal Holocaust. Not because it’s gory or violent (although it is), but because it’s godawful rubbish.
Wow. Cannibal Holocaust is an amazingly racist, misogynistic and downright terrible film.
Reminding myself that best use of Youtube involves never looking at the comments.
The hair’s plans to colonise my head have been thwarted.
Awake really rather early for a day off. I might take the opportunity to attack my hair.
It’s that time of the week where Ticketmaster send me various marginally different emails for me to play spot the difference with. Bless.
Zach Condon has the most beautiful voice in modern music. Fact.

I was in Sainsbury’s today, and Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley came on. I immediately glanced around to see whether I’d clicked on something injudiciously.
Trying to work out what miniscule difference there is between a collection of iTunes tracks that mean they won’t be recognised as an album.
Off to have a read, and therefore probably a nap.

Nice to see that Heathrow Terminal 5 has started as it means to go on: http://tinyurl.com/3xpjzu
