Time Wastrel

Ironically the day after the previous post was rather good, with much smiling and humming. Then after that tiredness returned, with today starting out nicely, but being ruined by a walk through roadwork.

Gran’s birthday went horribly. Dad’s truck was smashed into while parked by a drunk driver, and they forked over a couple of thousand [...]

Don’t cry to me…

…if you love me, you would be here with me… (music lyrics)

Lately I’ve been rather tired. I tried going to bed early, but that didn’t help. They’re doing construction on the road next to work, so the bus is taking the long way around, and I’m having to walk a bit. They cut my hours [...]

Defeat by the Numbers

Did a search on Kakuro puzzles today. Found some tips, a walkthrough, and was optimistic till I tried to solve some of the simpler puzzles. I’ve never liked crosswords, and one site said they were the mathematic equivalent. Somehow I simply cannot grasp it. I read the explanations and understood them. Then I tried going [...]

Your Second Life is Ready – Popular Science

Your Second Life is Ready – Popular Science

A friend of mine plays this, and he’s described it pretty well, but I never really understood the game’s full potential. Now this article underlines the fact that while it may be a game, it has practical application, and futuristic possibilities.

A puzzling… puzzle.

My ankle was fine. Either the shoe supported it, or the magical healing fairy visited me during the night. Still, I got through the day just fine. Or should I say night? I ended up closing that night and wihle I was already getting an extra hour or so by trading days, Saturday was an [...]

Wash the Smoke Right Out of my Hair

I managed to talk myself into walking again. Once a week… no, it’s not enough. Unfortunately in a fit of impromptu twirling I managed to sprain my ankle. Limping home was painful and the stupid ankle has refused to stop hurting. It looks swollen, which probably means that I should have spent today off of [...]

The Little Button With A Big Message!

You can find almost anything with a peace sign on it here.

Second try’s the… well, at least not the third.

Hello, hello. Yes, nice to see you again, how’ve you been? I’ve been working for very little, getting too many days off, watching new people come in and take my hours, and being annoyed by one of them who cannot seem to learn her job. Maybe it took me that long to learn, but honestly [...]

I go out walking…

After midnight. Out in the starlight, just like we used to do…

After about a week offline I finally managed not to fall into a book or the television on my way to the computer. What did I find? An inbox with loads of news e-mails, a wiki community fallen very silent, and that life had [...]

World Changing Websites – CompuserveNewsForum

What websites have changed your life?

Yahoo was the first website I was introduced to by a friend. My first e-mail, chat, and clubs all took place there. I don’t use those any longer, though one of the clubs has stayed with me, and now has a website of its own.

Wikipedia is [...]
