Augh! Late for school! C’mon! Bus any minute and you’re on the computer!
Sorry sorry sorry just uploading something sorry!
What could be so BLOODY IMPORTANT you have to upload it at 8:32 in the morning? Let’s go! HOW CAN YOU EAT YOUR MEAT IF YOU DON’T CATCH THE BUS
And so it began. There’s [...]
I have to start with this, because it just says everything about something. It’s a device for cutting through those annoying thick plastic packages. What, as they say, is wrong with this picture?
The joys of gadgets: just installed something called “Zumo,” which is -
Well, can’t you tell from the name?
Of [...]
A warm night after a warm day. This is fall as it’s supposed to be, except for the large grade-A jumbo egg on my chin. Turns out I am slightly allergic to bee stings, because this one just got large and slightly numb. Well, nothing to do but wait for it to go down, and [...]
Sunday we went out for brunch with some folks, daughter included; she was feeling a bit abashed as the only kid, resigned to stare at her plate and think kid thoughts in then Prison of Silence. When we got to the restaurant it was a gorgeous bright autumn day, and we decided to sit outside; [...]
Ah, Friday! Friday, with its tripartite boon – the nap, the pizza, the Friday night sip of fine American bourbon! The night in which care and caution are thrown to the wind, and I redesign sites while watching a movie out of the corner of my eye!

Just so you know, I don’t think that anything below is particularly special or clever, so it’s not like I think I’m passing off dog breath as the smell of fresh bread.
New theories about the brain – and there are always new theories about the brain – suggest that Vitamin D makes us happier. [...]
A good Monday, but I like Mondays. Back to duty. Fie to the formless meanderings of Sunday; hurrah to the brisk order of the workaday world. The most remarkable thing about the day was the weather; it was cold and damp until 4 PM, and then the sun just ARRIVED and the temps went up [...]
Woke up at 5:30 to one of the worst sounds for sleeping: a smoke alarm telling you its battery is dying. A smoke alarm telling that you are dying, or might, is worse, of course. But that gets you going. BWEE BWEE BWEE. When the battery goes it’s different: bweep! sorry. (Pause carefully calibrated to [...]
Another cool low day. I stopped checking my iPad weather app; I have disengaged from weather, from the idea of Outside. Right now I’m sitting in a room where I can’t see outside, listening to Bruckner. It is a fall thing to do. First I listened to the Third, which is what you get when [...]
