Yooooo, officially done with work, ready for 2 week vacation of belated Christmas in NZ with @angrboda

Just back from seeing the Young Frankenstein show!

Very fun, very Mel Brooks

oh, and then the very next song is all about dudes yelling about them masturbating to a woman no matter how uncomfortable she gets and begs them to stop.

It's kind of impressive how many marks this is missing.

I thought for a long time "Everyone's a little bit racist" isn't a great sentiment, but I haven't actually listened to the song in ages and holy shit does it not play well. Some highlights:
- Everyone tells racist jokes, but they're funny, so chill
- Someone setting up a school for a minority is exactly as racist as thinking all members of a minority are related
- it's funny when someone in an stereotypical Asian accent says "lacist"

My friends are organizing an outing to Avenue Q in about a month, so I figured I'd listen to the soundtrack to determine if I want to come. I saw the show something like 7 years ago and enjoyed it, but WOW do I not have time for it any more

I have been in this training for too long - for half a second when the instructor used the word "query" I thought he was meaning "queer-y", like, queer-like, and suddenly was once again paying attention

The trainer I am listening to via Skype for the next 4 hours calls it "Internet Exploder", which seems to be pretty much indicative of his joke-telling inclinations

(sorry to everyone who follows me both here and on Twitter for the doubling up by the way. I'm aiming to move away from Twitter, and I'm starting that by mirroring my posts)

I feel like there is a thin line right now between "let's make a story about a potential dystopia" and "oops we made the actual world objectively more dystopian", and I have zero time for that right now

Black Mirror opinions, dystopian bullshit 

This depressing bullshit is plastered over a large part of my commute now.

To everyone who says I should let Black Mirror into my life, please eat my entire ass

For Christmas this year I have received one board game, one comfy bath robe, and one sex egg.

This is a surprisingly on point summary of me by my friends

There are few things I find more restorative than a good long walk, especially when listening to good music

I exist here now, I guess! Still figuring out how this works, but, yeah. Hello.
