The toddler demands I dance. OH DEAR GOD I MUST DANCE AGAIN. I sit down. "um, um" and she pulls on my hand. DEAR LORD LET ME STOP DANCING ONE DAY. Pushes me to stand over there and dance. Now I have to pick up her rag doll and make it dance on the purple plastic stool. DANCE DANCE DANCE UNTIL YOU DROP THEN KEEP DANCING. FOREVER.

My theory is that two-year-old girls are young gay men in discos. My evidence is that Freda loves Bear Force 1 and Abba and started dancing to the new Pet Shop Boys album (Yes — I highly recommend it) literally seconds after it started playing. DANCE DANCE DANCE MONKEYDAD DANCE. DANCE.

Out for a walk again with nyecamden to the pond near Whipps Cross and back. Lovely day out.

Today's technical questions: 1. Does Ubuntu Netbook Remix come with any good 3G usage counters? If not, what's a good simple one to add? 2. arkady is trying to use her Wacom tablet with Gimp 2.6.6 on Mac OS X 10.5 PowerPC. Drawing is unusably laggy. Are there ways to fix this other than "use Photoshop"?

My dad dancing is funky and homosexual!

The teenagers consider my musical taste appalling, outdated and middle-aged, so I've won there too.
