If the cat did it

I need to keep better track of what I planned to write here.

I have finally managed to successfully solder something recently. Still not clear how people manage to hold three things together with only two hands and not burn themselves but I sort of made it happen.

Coffee. Coffee has never been something I've really enjoyed but have recently been drinking quite a lot of it in some sort of attempt to not be asleep most of the day. This extended time with the stuff has provided me some insight into why I don't much like it; I can't make a decent cup. At all. I have no idea what I am doing wrong. This is also true for everyone else in my family.

At some point in my family's distant past some coffee farmer much have insulted or been insulted by an ancestor of mine and we are punishing/being punished because of it.

Ew.

That would be the very first image I've posted here. I feel a little dirty.

Now that I have a cat I find myself wondering what will happen when it dies. Sort of a morbid version of wondering what siblings will sound like when they finally get around to learning to speak. That never worked out for me though since it was so gradual by the time it happened I had completely forgotten how I thought they might sound before they did.

I wonder if this might have been different had I had pets before. Well, other than a hamster which I don't think was mine and I only had it run crudely constructed mazes. Also those baby birds that were doomed to die anyway having fallen three stories and lying on the ground a while before getting to me.

The garage still has the smell of dead baby bird. I don't think I find it all that unpleasant but it can be a little oppressive at times. Sort of warm and clingy, if that can be seen as a attribute of a smell.

Winter

I like sand and snow. I think perhaps one day it would be interesting to combine the two. The sand might be a little more difficult to work with, although the holes might not fill up with water quite as quickly. Perhaps not though, the ocean remains unfrozen.

So it only took ten and a half hours standing around on a Manhattan street to get a Wii. While it is nice to have one I would not recommend this tactic for anyone else. My enjoyment has been reduced by the ordeal; at least temporarily.

It did not go over as well as I might have hoped as a wedding gift in spite of it being white. (Hello there first of my friends to marry. No, wait. Second. Sort of.)

And now I'm pretty much just going to be playing the first Zelda and Toejam and Earl on it. You can tell I thought this through.

Fine

I wonder if it would be such a bad idea to require people to show some basic knowledge of statistics and/or logic in order to be allowed to vote.

It would take longer to vote. Really though, is there any good reason to have it done all in one day? Is it some sort of bandage we are trying to rip off?

God dammit, why won't you shut up?

Fall has a nice smell.

Boxes

Sat, 04 Nov 2006 04:44:29 GMT

I enjoy boxes although I am not entirely clear why. It might be that they hold the promise of organization but I would think I have enough experience with myself at this point to know that just is not going to happen.

I also like pens and paper. There is also a lot of pens that have only been used once or twice and even more paper that is completely blank around me. Much of it not in the boxes. Most of the boxes are filled with stuff; at this point I have forgotten which boxes have what though. Black in seems to be my preferred color. I think I used to like blue but I cannot think of the last blue pen I've seen. Red is only really useful if you have something written.

My printer needs more toner.

Interesting facts about cats and prak: None

I don't know. Something about stuff.

Very slowly I am being drawn into this thing. I have added a user image. I think I had a stupid reason for not doing it before but I have become somewhat fond of the gray box.

Sad isn't it?

Arr!

The cat has returned. It now has an extra eye; still no opposable thumbs. I cannot claim to not be at least a little disappointed.

Sea leg tests have been postponed until at least next week. The cone appears to make navigation challenging.

So it seems I had a cat. It is gone now.

It seems I have shifted to taking my eight hours of sleep and split it into four at night and another four in the afternoon. Sometimes the afternoon gets more than four, the night does not seem to anymore.

Mon, 20 Feb 2006 16:18:12 GMT

There is a word I do not like. Well, at least one and it has come up recently. I do not remember what it is. There, now we can both be annoyed by a general lack of information. (Well, I guess in your case it might not be as general. No matter.)

Now you are left to wonder if I actually have forgotten what the word is or if I am just doing it to fit it. I do so like to fit in.

So it seems I will soon be one of those people will a cell phone. This is a very dark day.

http://tools.netgear.com/skype/

It will not be one of those; Netgear did not come through in time to save me. Not that it would really have worked out. Open wireless access points just are not yet that common. Soon though. Soon. Then I can return again to only using wonderful wonderful Skype. Perhaps just in time to see them turn bad. Already added video they did. They did at least improve the interface a bit.

Did I mention my LED flashlight? Oh the joy it brings me. Now if the cheap cell phones came with a built-in LED flashlight perhaps I would not feel quite so bad about having one. No, instead it is all pointless cameras that sit there reducing battery life.

Monitors outnumber people in this apartment by 2:1.

I would like to know how most people avoid going depressed and/or insane.
