Things that cheer you up

Yeah, if you replace all three of them with session musicians or a live band you get fuck all nothing near as good. Take away Deacon, you've lost your funk songs and stuff like 'Your My Best Friend', take away Brian May you lost almost all their heavier output, take out Roger Taylor and you just have a shittier drummer who doesn't like cars. It's because Mercury was such because of his death and even bigger enigma and because he was obviously extremely good that you get this, oh well he was the best. Freddie Mercury without Queen is mostly Munich underground sex disco music, with people around him who get him, you get quirky stuff like 'Seaside Rendezvous' and more of his quirky camp eccentric showman stuff etc.

Body Language is a dirty filthy lovely track mind you.

For some reason I found this article that randomly turned up on my Google news feed quite amusing https://www.standard.co.uk/showbiz/noel-edmonds-ed-balls-itv-good-morning-britain-susanna-reid-b1164855.html

I was just in the beautiful Foyles near Oxford Circus. They have a massive and really good DVD section. It's been years and years since I've just spent time just perusing films as physical items rather than joylessly scrolling on streaming. It was bloody lovely.

Was reading his Wiki - not the first time he's been in trouble for immigration offences. Got done for entering the US with a false passport, which he used because he was already banned from there.

Recently started a new role at the care home as Activities Co-Ordinator and yesterday afternoon I was outside on the 'terrace' with 6-7 residents playing a word game whilst having a lovely chat. Nice temperature, well shaded, and lots of interesting discussions and conversations and sometimes, as a slightly younger generation than those I care for, you just learn so much. Started outside just after lunch around 1.45 and before we knew it it was supper time at just before 5. 

 

Such a lovely time and one of those times where everyone is just having a nice time and whiling away the hours, but without sitting bored and fed up in their rooms. 

 

It's days like that that make the job the best in the world.

I love how the internet makes it possible to just casually converse with the celebrities that you grew up admiring.

Like here, where me and Dweezil "son of Frank" Zappa discuss our penises.

My Youtube algorithms started recommending Weather Channel Vaporwave to me and I've got to say I'm really into it. A lot of it is apparently original compositions that played on the actual channel, some of it is vaporwave music played over the footage. Either way, it's totally in my Q Zone.

This made me and Mrs raid both laugh hysterically the other day while WFH. We have a “company @“ inbox at work, rarely used, where you can send a message to literally everyone including the board. It’s used for newsletters, crucial HR updates and anything we need to be aware of concerning the physical premises.

The latest is that certain parts of one of the units will be inaccessible due to building maintenance for a bit. Including where the art workers’ office is when they choose to come in rather than WFH. A quite wonderful typo in “reply all” from head of artwork who is a total flake at the best of times, and I say “typo” but other than the same number of letters as “art workers” giving away what she was going for, I can’t figure out what actual keystrokes happened for even an auto correct to inflict this upon her. The actual reply, to everyone, MD, stoic production heads et al, read ;

”Thanks, I’ll let the hot dealers know not to come in.”

Bafflingly nobody has said a word about it in multiple Slack channels or Teams groups even though usually anything that’s even slightly funny gets shared, piled on, repeated for weeks. Not even the hot dealers themselves. I think it’s actually so ridiculous everyone’s gone into a state of shock, not knowing how to react. Hot dealers. The Mrs hurt her throat laughing.

EDIT - tragically in typing this, I’ve ruined it for myself. She was going for “hot deskers” and Apple clocks that deskers isn’t a real word and offers you dealers. Damn it.
