Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 3rd October 2023.

3rd October, 2023.

Yes: it’s Tuesday!

And?

• Hopefully, Jude — my nephew — will have a change of clothes, when he comes over!
• I can get some sleep!

Frankly?

I was up, late, last night: finishing my video review of Threads.

Hopefully, it’ll get a few views!

(Just so you know?   It’s about the TV film, Threads: possibly the most frightening movie ever made.)

Let’s move on, shall we?

“People go to LA to ‘find themselves’, they come to New York to become someone new.”

From I ❤️ New York by Lindsey Kelk, born 3rd October, 1980.

And a song …

  Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.

Decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        Hello, Mum!   (Can you make sure you’put a change of clothes for Jude into Ruth’s car?   Cheers!)

†        It was a tough one, Olga: it took a couple of days.   That’s without factoring in making the video.   I had to do it in separate parts, and import them into iMovie, separately.   It would’ve taken hours, if I hadn’t.

        Benefits are a bloody complicated thing, aren’t they?   Although — here, at least — the Job Centre doesn’t have to send you vacancies: just make sure you’re looking, and recording stuff in your journal.   But the various job sites I’m on make similar odd recommendations.

‡       I’ll keep my fingers crossed you get some help, there, Debbi!   (The next ten question one is on the 8th, if that’s any consolation.   I’ve another notionally pencilled in for the 25th: we’ll have to see how that goes.) 

        “Jocko Homo” is definitely odd!   I think I still prefer “Whip It”: it’s far more tuneful¶!

¶        The chap with the glasses, Debbi, is Mark Mothersbaugh: he did the music for the Get a Mac ads!
