Sick day, in restaurants carefully scheduled to coincide with day off, few errands on list this morning (must remember to eat, I forget this and it will be someplace dire and local...), couple of thrift shops, an independent shop in Kensington (odd hours which serve more as guidelines as to when the staff will be somewhat recovered from their hangovers), independent shop isn't open so I plug the meter, go for coffee, by the time I'm back they're open.
Then lunch - Indian Buffet, the once a week balancing of my diet, home for a 4 hour non-lucid nap, reading Lolita, watching inane videos online. But a few discoveries - the first - Moon Based Nazis. Can't review yet, but looks promising:

And this, which follows precisely the formula laid down by shows such as Pawn Stars and Storage Wars, but with characters and merchandise far, far more to my own tastes. Filed under Audio & Podcasts, because I found it online and TV is dead.
Note that the robot guy has his own documentary. More of Michael Sullivan here (via Wired), with clips from his animated movie.

Television, it's the common point of reference. It's what people who have absolutely nothing in common discuss when they have to work together.
For M and G it's the game last night - "Did you see it?". "No" I reply "I don't have a TV"
For Z it's the latest Bollywood film or Hollywood Blockbuster .... "Have you seen...it was on TV last night?".
"No" I reply "I don't have a television".
A thousand times the same questions, related to last nights programming, the answers always the same but nobody ever hears me.
"Oh my God have ever seen "Strange Sex"?" Begins the nephew, and no amount of denial will save me from what's coming.
"There's this guy, he's got the biggest cock in the world, ..." and here he pinches the flesh of his thigh beneath his trousers to give me some idea...
"And there's this girl with no vagina and there's this lady who can have orgasms by herself and she teaches classes and there's this guy..."
"....he has sex with his car, they show him underneath it kissing and hugging it...."
He's doing a standing interpretation of the TV show for me.
"It's not even a nice car, like a Ferrari or something, it's just an old car...."
Somehow I gather from this that sex with cars is not so unusual, only sex with ugly cars is, which standards seem to run counter to his philosophy with women, there all makes or models are somehow beautiful...
