…and this is what 0C looks like at 7am. I really like the symmetry of the last three days.

… and this is what +5C looks like at 7am. It’s amazing what a difference 10 degrees makes (and no, that difference isn’t that the world is out of focus above zero - that’s just operator error).

This is what -5C at 7am looks like. That plant is normally green, even at this time of year. The clothesline was totally frozen. Hanging out the nappies was … brisk.

Tasmin Archer - Sleeping Satellite
I was introduced to prog rock and Pink Floyd by my brother when I was 10. I loved it but I was in love with David Gilmour’s guitar work more than anything else.
It wasn’t until I heard this song when it was released 4 years later that I realised that keyboard could be as goddamn cool as the guitar. This song is a total earworm, too. I’ve been singing it on and off since rediscovering it over a week ago.

Since late 2006, I’ve had a Midvale School for the Gifted moment with this door at least once a week. At least.

Nutri-grain: Feel Great (via jmzxari on the YouTube).
I stumbled across this last night. It had me and Helen laughing so hard and so long that we were crying. Honest to God crying.
The fact that I’ve got a strained intercostal muscle which makes it hurt to even breathe sometimes may have had something to do with my tears but god damn, this ad is funny.
BABIES!!!!
A blog about nothing has moved...
The home of “A blog about nothing” has shifted slightly. It is no longer hosted on Blogger. I am now hosting the site on Tumblr. Tumblr is fun to use and I hope that this sense of fun will mean that I will post more often.
If you were looking for the Blogger-hosted version, it’s still there. Go to http://parr0t.blogspot.com and you will find all the old posts stored for however long Google choose to host stuff for free.
