• 09:36 Traffic like that makes me want to ride to East Kilbride. Only 45 miles. #
• 13:14 @andygates Gah!!!! I missed that!! #

• 10:31 My adductors are so tight my FEET hurt. Didn’t sleep well. More nightmares. #
• 13:34 @warrenellis Really? It’s pant-wettingly gorgrous up here. #
• 13:34 @andygates Nah. Squats. #
• 13:37 BTW: work-related nightmares EPIC FAIL. This is what I get for taking a week off. #
• 17:21 There’s something faintly bizarre about @Marvel telling me that the Hulk wants me to vote tomorrow. #
• 17:24 Look what I found! tinyurl.com/r398v #
• 21:02 Gah! Do I watch Sanctuary? Will it ever get any good? #
• 21:05 @splinister Definitely the right decision. Doesn’t matter how careful you are, there are always inconsiderate morons out there who aren’t. #

• 14:32 The DOMS is not funny any more. #
• 16:23 @andygates More than a bit. I can’t cough or laugh without it hurting and I’m hobbling like a geriatric. #
• 17:45 @andygates Um. Maybe I didn’t drop them quite enough, and maybe I should have stayed off the inclined sit-up bench… #
• 18:27 @andygates This is my second day of hobbling. #
• 19:18 Well, I just had to run to the shop (all of about half a mile) and back and that’s helped a bit. Couldn’t have done any more, though! #

• 12:26 Oooooh. Aaah. Late rising after very late night shenanigans. DOMS is bad today. I’m hobbling. Feels like my legs are swollen (pumped, man) #

• 13:47 @splinister I was just thinking that the @MarsPhoenix tweets were becoming terribly sad again. Brings a tear to the eye! #
• 19:25 @MarsPhoenix No, thank you. It has been a real pleasure. Here’s hoping for the Lazarus effect. You’ll be sorely missed. #
• 19:27 I’m so going to miss @MarsPhoenix. #
• 19:28 @andygates Oh no effing way! Seriously?! Sorry, it’s not the carbon balance, but daylight savings that causing global warming! Of course! #
• 20:27 @MarsPhoenix That’s my job, sir. I’ll do my best. #

• 11:36 Apparently there is snow on the Pentlands. Can’t see from here, though. Air temperature is… tepid. #
• 16:46 Should be going to the gym, but that means another bout of eye freeze. Does a bath count? #

Outpost.

This little gem of innocuousness is halfway between Deathwatch and Dog Soldiers. Same plot as Deathwatch, give or take; same style as Dog Soldiers, give or take. Definitely not as good as the latter, definitely better than the former. have to admire the guy who had to stay pretty much semi-comatose for most of the film. He didn’t even blink.

Doomsday.

Trust me. Come the zombie apocalypse the Scots will not need some gun-wielding Sassenach female to save them. They will probably be really very happy to put a wall there because it will keep the English out. The Daily Wail brigade love an excuse to hate the English, and I’ll bet the SNP were right there on top of the wall waving the flag and yelling “Freedom!” in their best faux-Australian/American accent and cheering on the Smeatonator.

Could have been so much better. Wasn’t. Not, however, as big a pile of necrotic tosh as Sunshine. Not that this is saying very much.

Today’s xkcd was something of a tea in the sinus-cavities moment.

It’s quite exciting. It’s like the teasers for the Avengers they’re putting in the big Marvel movies.

Oh. I fibbed. It was only about 5 seconds worth of Samuel L Jackson at the end of Iron Man. And I’m rather disappointed there wasn’t a bloopers reel. Maybe I should look for an easter egg.

• 12:29 @kayucian WTF? #
• 12:48 I has a Mars Phoenix mission patch! Squee! #
• 13:31 Today we have crows, magpies, seagulls, a cat and an errant fox outside our window. Cat was not pleased to see fox. #
• 14:45 @kayucian Heeee! #
• 17:24 Just back from pool. So cold I can’t feel my face and am slightly deaf. First eye freeze of the year! #
• 17:25 ObWTF?: Prosthetic eyes can freeze in v. low temperatures. Not very pleasant but irritating rather than painful. Mostly. #

• 08:53 The weather’s gorgeous today. It’s so nice to see the sun. #
• 11:25 That’s the cloud cover coming in now. Knew it was too good to last 🙁 #
• 12:34 @kurreltheraven It’s almost impossible to find likeable raven merchandise *anywhere*. Mostly it’s goth or pagan crap. #
• 12:37 @kurreltheraven I mean, look at this rubbish. That’s a raven?!! tinyurl.com/5asvhz #
• 12:50 Then again, there is this: tinyurl.com/58hb4x I might have to get me one of those. #
• 13:23 @andygates For why? #
• 13:26 @andygates Oh! Shackleton’s lucky if he gets a plastic bag when it rains. #
