Buy this, friend!

It gets tempting to write bizarre creative things each day, and never to write about events and the world at large. Well, I never do that anyway, but if you have 'Yoghurt Vat Kids', 'The Carrot Man', and 'The Ninja of Health' percolating under the surface somewhere then perspective can be lost. Perspective is everything, and also impossible to reach if you're looking for it.

"New Perspective-In-A-Jar! Thanks to the groundbreaking research taking place here at Frank's Sensors we have now perfected a revolutionary therapy that can be sold over the counter worldwide. Kiss those depressive tendencies goodbye and calm those manic periods right down with Perspective-In-A-Jar. For every one hundred bought collect a free easel."

You see, the smallest opening can let out the crazies, and when you're in an office by yourself there are lots of openings. Actually despite all that I've made lots of progress today. I've twisted FreeFem++ about as far as it can go and am now working out normal derivatives of a very important function. It's so important that I've named it the Smurf function. It has the potential to change almost entirely nothing. That's research, friends!

Aberystwyth is nice today, with a scattering of clouds blowing across a light blue sky. It's strange to think that I spent so long inland. The coast is definitely the place to be, with scudding weather and blinking lights on the sea's horizon. Somewhere far across the waters is Ireland, and if you skirt around Ireland you could make a break for Iceland. Iceland would be a good place to visit sometime, and is on my list of places still to see before giving up holidays. Also on the list: Luxembourg (no reason), Thessaloniki (friends there), Seville (ditto), Copenhagen (no reason again), and Stockholm (ditto). Oh, and maybe Seattle/Vancouver. That list would exhaust my wanderlust if completed!

"Wanderlust, now with added sparkle. Are you out of travelling inspiration, friend? Do you need a new infusion of curiousity and enthusiasm? Then look no further as here at Toxicala we have the thing for you: Wanderlust PLUS! This wondrous shampoo oozes straight through your scalp and motivates you in the only way possible: With chemicals! Buy Wanderlust and travel like you've never travelled before. Not to be used in conjunction with spray deoderant."

Oddly, it seems as if the terrible movie 'Masters of the Universe' has a pretty good score, or at least the segments I've heard on YouTube are. Who would have thought it?
