06:35am: @abscond It'll be the anti-Logan's Run.
08:44am: Dreamed conversation with @gwire: Comedy panel show about esoterica of games, comics, SF. Hopelessly compromised when it reached TV screens.
10:57am: No one else in the office. Playing this five hour ‘Rip It Up And Start Again’ post-punk playlist: http://t.co/4lXN3pg5

11:29am: @megp I am not a robot. And if I’m human I’m not lying.
11:32am: @tomtaylor @megp One of us has become a self-aware digital vapour. I don’t know how to tell which of us it is.
