Life in Stride

It’s a slightly higher-energy episode than yesterday’s, and one which weaves in and out of tangents like a 70s movie car chase.

I recap my day, talk about being too fat, and then explore – for about 20 minutes – a Facebook post about education funding in the States. It’s riveting stuff.

I throw back to 2005 and my first foray into freelancing; building webisstes for under £200 and advertising in a little business newsletter. Those really were very much actually quite literally the days, my friend.

I recount my day backwards, and make a pledge to bring the energy I want to see in the world.

I recount my day’s trip to an optomitrist, and then go off on one about someone’s brand for some reason.

This is the one where I actually cry on mic. Probably the first of many. It happened because I talked about a teddy bear. It’s fine and everything’s fine.

This is the one where I sing. Also I talk about moods, and create a metaphor involving spiny woodland creatures.

I talk about Internet dating in the wake of the millennium, and perhaps get a bit oversharey about my own experiences in the arena of affection.

I complain – briefly and lightly – about marketing, read some nice news about Dolly Parton giving away books, and follow a tangent that takes in Johnny Vegas and 101 Dalmations.

I bury us deep in tangents today, talking about DAT, a highly awkward theatre sketch, and the time I trapped a children’s author in a library.
