idle musings

How many times over the past week have I had the thought, “I’m gonna blog about that!” and then realize, sadly, that I won’t because by the time I get my computer fixed, I’ll have forgotten all about it. The situation continues … I downloaded all my drivers but the wireless one won’t complete its [...]

I haven’t been online for the past few days because when I did my reformat of my laptop, I broked my compooter. I don’t have any drivers so I have no internet. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll be downloading everything and will back on top of things.

I’ve been double-checking my files to ensure that I have them all copied to the external hard drive, as I’m finally reformatting today. I started reading some of my short stories, and in a fit of madness, I have decided to post one here. I almost never share my writing, and never with the world [...]

I have started adding blogs with abandonment and then finding that I don’t find them that interesting on a day-to-day level. This weekend I want to spend a couple of hours weeding through and deleting, and then updating my blogroll [...]

One of the items on my 101 list is to complete Project 365. I have been quietly taking one picture a day and posting them in my Flickr account, in a set called, of all original things: Project 365. I’m only 6 days in but it’s been fun so far. I just joined a group [...]

… I bought 3 new books. Neither Here Nor There by Bill Bryson This is one of the only (or perhaps the only) book by him that I haven’t read. His books are the perfect kind to reread when I want something easy and entertaining (except for his giant Book about Everything … which I [...]
