Saturday, Snowing in the Evening.

Saturday, January 24th, 2015 -( -1°C / +30°F & snowing at 11: something pm. )-

— Made some progress, dealt with some frustrations earlier – Took a nice warm shower, took some clothes that were getting sloppy on a wardrobe shelf, refolded them, put them back in 2/3 the space they took up when they were messy – now I feel a lot better- but what the fupp? Am I getting weird and having some kind of idiotic masculine nesting instinct kick in? Nah- It was just a weird day in the frustration department and I didn’t want to look at a messed up shelf on top of all that.

— But:

Cathi's desk

I cleaned up the top of Cathi’s desk- which was buried in my clutter in the office here. Still not easily accessible, but it’s a start.

Bimmy's work station

For contrast: Cathi’s desk is against the south wall, You’re looking at the north wall here. All’s that’s missing is my “A clean desk is a sign of a sick mind” sign, which is buried under some of that stuff up there somewhere.

Cathi's desk with Nano Winners' shirt

Somebody asked me if I got this year’s NaNoWriMo Winners’ shirt. Cathi saw the dragon and knew I needed that. It was my Christmas present 🙂

China Solar

There’s a lot going on in China that makes me think I’m glad I don’t live there, but they may be leading the charge in the Clean Energy department. Why aren’t we doing that? Because we’re controlled by a lot of what a friend calls ‘evil manipulating ice-holes waging economic warfare on us’? —shrug—

Whatever

I hope this is an officially endorsed John Lennon twitter account. Yoko & Co. would probably have it taken down if it wasn’t. But I took one look at that photo and knew exactly how he felt.

New Zealand

I really needed something nice to look at here, so I grabbed this from our news blog – a retweet – “South Island, New Zealand” Looks good to me.

— Whattaya think? Yum?

— I wanted to skip over all the frustrating stuff, but I will say it began with Microsoft hijacking my workhorse computer with another of their daily frustrating ‘must have’ updates. & When they claim you need their security updates are they telling you the truth? Or is their ‘must have’ security b.s. something the NSA wants you to have so they can more easily collect ‘intelligence’ on every thought you ever had and every person you ever thought of and every web site some stupid re-direct brought you to, sometimes against your will? -grumble grumble grumble-

— But I feel a lot better now.

— Yay?

Zzzzzzz Zzzzzzz Zzzzz Clunk-

Saturday, January 24th, 2015  -( -4°C / +25°F & Clear after a bit of a dusting -light snow- last night )-  Susie P in Vermont’s Birthday.

I just fell asleep at the computer here, long enough to dream I was in a house visiting somebody when an earthquake hit, I went to the windows and looked out and saw long thin sink holes developing while the world shook. The sink holes were not spectacular, they were maybe a couple feet wide and twenty or thirty feet long and fell a couple feet into the ground. I was telling my friend I needed to get home to make sure everybody there was okay. Then I was in a car in moderate traffic on a  suburban street. Somebody else was driving. Then I woke up with a back ache.

ouch,
