Every little inane thought that comes into my head (or at least the last 30 of them).

  • Spent way too much of today rewatching clips from The Thick Of It. Oh well. Knowledge is porridge. 2026-08-14 22:49

  • I was crying to the Willie Nelson version of "Always On My Mind" (no reason, it's just a good song) and decided to look at the YouTube comments and the top one was from a man who played it to his wife just before she died. They'd been married 60 years. This really didn't help with the crying 2026-05-29 16:32
  • Oh god it's so hot I can't think straight. Why are UK heatwaves the actual fucking worst??? 2026-05-25 17:05
  • I haven't updated this in ages, which raises the question: do I just not have thoughts now? The answer may be yes 2026-05-13 12:27
  • Stayed up too late watching Bingo Brawlers. I have spent 100x more hours watching this series than I ever did playing Elden Ring but oh well. The bingus do be bongusing 2026-04-30 08:40
  • Told myself I wasn't going to bother doing much research for a silly AU fic and then three hours later I have ordered a book 2026-04-22 14:33
  • Had a really nice chill weekend which somehow makes it extra annoying that I have to work tomorrow instead of just having More Weekend 2026-04-19 20:39
  • The optimum volume for listening to this Nine Inch Noize album really is "teeth rattling in skull". I am becoming something else... I am turning into God 👹 2026-04-19 15:28
  • Just read 17776 for the first time and cried lol 2026-04-08 12:24

  • One of these days I'm gonna remember exactly how flexbox works instead of googling for like half an hour but today is not that day 2026-04-01 17:19
  • [Rob Halford voice] MOWING THE LAWN, MOWING THE LAWN 2026-03-22 16:40

  • Listening to Weyes Blood is an acceptable substitute for therapy, right? 2026-02-24 18:42
  • I want to start putting more CD reviews on here (and maybe other kinds of reviews too) but instead I'm just having a whole crisis trying to figure out how this site should be structured. It gets a little trickier every time I add something new. I want it to be easier to find things on the same topic (eg music) but I also don't want the navigation to become some confusing maze that keeps doubling back on itself. So idk 2026-02-23 17:34
  • Yelling OH MY GOD at the screen but it's just because I got an email saying D.E.B.S. was on streaming 2026-02-23 13:32
  • It occurred to me recently that I don't really have a name on here. Like "Ratlands" is the name of this website, not me. I've just been using "Ratlander" on guestbooks and so on but I wonder if I should have an actual name to go by. Not my real one though because I love racking up pseudonyms. Might just pick one at random! 2026-02-19 14:32
  • "Secrets" by Magdalena Bay really has the most Neocities music video out there. ("Top Dog" is the runner-up.) 2026-02-16 18:46
  • Somehow this site has received over 5,000 views? 1. HOW, but also 2. thank you! You are all my valentines <3 2026-02-14 15:52
  • Something so satisfying about taking a chance on a random busted-looking compilation in a charity shop and then it turns out to have some bangers on there. No algorithm, just lucky dip! (But then I have to buy more CDs to hear more of the artists I liked... where does it end???) 2026-02-09 17:51

All earlier thoughts are lost to the sands of time...
