I know it's hardly Skynet, but...

I have written up one of my usual mixes of diaristic meandering and peculiar news items in my Gmail drafts folder, as is my way. Gmail has now fallen over, and I'm damned if I'm rewriting it all from scratch, so let's just hope the component parts haven't all been posted elsewhere by tomorrow, eh?

Maybe this is a message from the tech-sprites that what LJ really wants is something about toast instead? I did just have some toast, and it wasn't bad, though this is the first loaf of normal sliced I've had this year, having been on the chunkier semi-posh stuff for a while because it kept being on sale. Probably for the best today, there's no way I could have managed even a jot more food this morning after last night's (thoroughly enjoyable) death by hyperconcentrated chocolate mousse.

Are you McKelvieing it tonight, then?

Probably, though it may only be for a bit. You are, I take it?

Also - is that Lego Alan Moore?

Yep, probably show up around 8-8.30ish, not planning on staying dead long either.

And : yes. Yes it is. I've no idea where it originally came from, but I found it on a CBR blog...

Aha, gmail is uniformly broken - I thought it was just my crappy connection.

Toast = food of the gods, truly. Mine was a lovely seeded wholemeal slathered with Marmite (the spread of the gods).

I had Vegemite on one of mine, though I'm wary of getting into that debate, having already had it once in the past 24 hours (with added vehemence given the presence of a real life Australian). But yes, gmail was fine for me earlier, it just had a funny turn an hour or so back.

It's fixed for me now too. Strange.

I've had the Vegemite conversation with you, but I will always be baffled. Ah well, diff'rent strokes and all. I still can hardly conceive that I lived 20 years without Marmite. If you can call that 'living'.

Ah, the zeal of the born again...

My gmail remains borked, it obviously loves you more. Sob.

According to Mogi theory, both Lulu and I posses Qualia -oriented personality.

This is the sort of random which I can almost believe to be an oblique response to my post, even when I know there's a spambot on the prowl from the now-deleted Japanese comments.
