  • No, really.
  • Made more coffee.
  • Drank more coffee.
  • Nick Cave videos on Youtube.
  • Searched for a list of all the people in the Fifteen Feet of Pure White Snow film clip, since it’s full of people I vaguely recognise and people I actually recognise, and the former is really starting to irritate me.

  • Felt sad that I will never look as good, in a suit, as Nick Cave.
  • Felt sad that I will never look as good, in a suit, as Noah Taylor.
  • Felt really sad that I will never look as good, in a suit, as a slightly puffy, middle-aged Jason Donovan.
  • Realised all of this is the reason I do not own a suit.
  • Coffee.
  • Thought: “I should write a blog post.”
  • Thought: “Meh.”
