Need to get over cold/flu (can it be flu if you're not queasytum?) so can go to doctor. No sense going to doctor all sick. Can't do anything anything if depressed. Shelves of books of projects: sitting untouched.

Every once in a while i fixate on a person and have fantasies of mutual creative endeavors. This plummets to its death, and i stop. It's easier to try to create things when you think maybe someone cares about the results. It's harder to create things when you think about the greatest works ever created and sense that they're likely sad wee attempts of no real value.

Sometimes i think the way to clean is to put the clutter item into the fireplace.

Mead is sometimes beer and sometimes wine. We are baffled.

How many days till no more shrub? When nobody in the world feels safer then, and the US is still in Iraq, and all the terrorist networks still exist, and the country is more dramatically in debt than any time in history, and foreign creditors shy away, will the end of his 2nd term be celebrated as a great success? Very likely.

My brain is too much of computer. Create story: o no, a flaw. Gandalf could have just rode the eagle and dropped the ring into the volcano, tada, end of story. Guess we can't create Lord of the Rings or the entire Tolkien mega-cult. Giant worms under the sand...right, and friction wouldn't make them entirely immobile. Can't create the Dune mega-cult.

I finally have time and ability to do world travel, and enough credit card airline miles built up for free ticket to Europe, and my desire seems to have wasted away. Why pay to go be lonely somewhere where nobody can understand me and even trying to find something to eat is embarrassing and difficult.

A 30" Apple cinema display might make it all better. Or two or three or 6 in an array.

Hi this is San Fran Alaska Airlines office. We about to destroy your wallet. You want it back?

They found my Orbitz info; my multiple attempts to contact them directly never got through to this particular office.

Fine wallet & pics, hray! And luckily i was lazy and haven't gotten my license or other non-credit cards replaced yet.

20% of planes have contaminated water. b'ware, mittel

And: LJ went down for a day because someone pushed the power off button? Now that's the LJ I know and love.

"Virgin company chief Richard Branson said his airline, which has ordered six A380s, will offer casinos and private double beds for first-class passengers." Won't be Virgin for long.

Sunday. Lost day somewhere. If find, please return, $20 reward as soon as find wallet.

Mittel is 180° out of phase with time. Soon shall have to take drastic wonderings how to fix. Woke with sunlight, which is not snow.

When the little dots cross to the top, it may be time to sell.

Some colors should not come out of a nose.

When I have no games left to drug my mind, I have to consider what to do with life. I race you all to happiness! Last one in's a happy egg.

Once when travelling I printed out my vast list of passwords and user names, and hoped nobody else would come into possession of them. Most of my passwords these days are derived algorithmically, so I can have a different password at most sites and only have to remember the base password and the algorithm to generate the real one for any given site. Too many places don't allow non-alphanumeric characters though, so I have to have two base passwords to satisfy those places that insist on being less secure.

Maybe I'll go split wood. In my free time, I'll like to make more user icons.

It's international simplify-your-friends-list day. You're highly encouraged to drop me if you have vague urges to do so, just added me due to peer pressure, have grown apart, feel no connection, can't stand political frothing, hear voices telling you to do so, thought you were getting a free toaster for signing up, or other such fine reasons.

Back. Still have heart, but wallet probably left in San Francisco. If you happen to pass by gate 22, look along the wall for it willya? (Self: in future, do not travel wearing the comfy pants, even tho you've sewn their pockets to avoid such losings.)
