And once again: The story about the twins… Now I don’t like it. It seems I can’t work on a story for any longer than a few days or I start to dislike it. To see all the inadequacies of it. But maybe that’s a good thing. Maybe that’s exactly what I need to tell [...]

Monk

I’m watching the first season of Monk. Benjy is very cute. Disk three, episode three, Benjy asks Monk why girls do stuff like letting the guy they like win in games instead of truly trying to win. Monk responds “you’ll understand when you’re older.” Of course that’s a crap answer that would make and BL feel [...]

When I get home from work today: 1st all laundry put away and towels into the wash. 2nd apply to at least one job. 3rd watch Blood Diamond. 4th finish dishes.
“When I get home from work.” Ha! I went outside and there was snow five inches deep on my car. That and very slippery roads. [...]
Opposites Attract

I read three quarters of a story called “Opposites Attract” on Nifty today. One sentence the author wrote — something like “bits of electronics that would have one day become a computer” — made me suspect that he was writing a story we’ve all heard before. A little bit later, the non-POV character mentioned that [...]
Another beginning

I’ve started writing again. Of course I always say it, but I may actually finish this time. As is true with so many of my ideas for stories, this one formed in the nebulous region of my mind that rules over the place between asleep and awake. I can’t remember what the seed was, since [...]
The curious case of @isp.com

Amazing! Just amazing. This morning my internet wasn’t working again. First thing I try: remove @isp.com yet again. Instant fix! This is bloody ridiculous.
Can’t wait!

Ah, finally. Puppy and The King called me today to tell me that they were contacted by the mentoring program as my references. I was starting to wonder what the heck was going on, since it’s already been…5? 6 weeks? I haven’t heard from anyone else yet, but things are starting to move. Can’t wait!

I would like to strangle the people at my ISP. Right after getting back from Christmas vacation I tried to get online, but discovered that my router was no longer connecting. My computer was communicating just fine with the router/modem, and the modem was syncing with the DSL signal, but no PPPoE. So after way [...]
Google Chrome

I’m trying out Google Chrome. So far I like it. I’m not sure if I think it’s any better than Firefox, but if I’m not mistaken it did handle Hulu on my big screen better than Firefox does. I don’t think it dropped as many frames. It did at maximum resolution, but the next level [...]
FAIL!

Oh my goodness! I just ordered pizza. Again! … That’s it. I’m buying groceries online.
