Got stuck with the worst programming problem (timezones) and couldn’t find my keys but I managed to get to the polling station forty minutes before close.

Think that’s the first time in 15 years I’ve stood in the booth and just stared at the paper… for minutes.

This will be my first time as an adult living under Labour rule. My very first vote was for the Lib Dem’s, which brought the LD/Con coalition to fruition.

And look; Keir Starmer is a chucklefuck. Some of the parties priorities are hateful.

BUT no more CON rule. And that’s worth a quick “cool, nice”.

I have some faith that things will not get worse, and maybe some things will get better.

And at the end of the day we’ll do what we’ve always done: help eachother.

I owe it to myself and everyone around me to not be a misanthrope, and to keep doing what I do best: survive

So, let’s do that. Innit.

me: “this is just like cohost again. Oh no my benefactor has disappeared into the night and we cannot reach them by phone, we may have to close, we need your money!”
esther: “huh?”
me: “…”
me: “you don’t know what happened with cohost?”

I am an almost 33 year old man in a toy store (this is not weird, I’m just setting the scene).

Apparently Hot Wheels, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Harry Potter and Beyblades (?!) are still the “thing”?

Also Vanessa Hudgens is piping through the speakers, from the High School Musical concert album? I’ve seen every one of those movies (three years younger sister but also im a musical lover, get your head in the game). This album was released in 2007. Seventeen years ago.

Is this for the children, starved of any modern entertainment, the adult staff, or the millennial parents?

Either way I feel very confused and old as I’m looking for the final accessory to the very adult suit I’m having made that will be finished in twenty mins.
