Random burblings since 1999
So, the government gets absolved of all wrong-doing yet again. Who’d have expected that, eh? And the report’s been done by a Lord, so it must all be kosher and above-board.
*Yawn*
Apathy continues, can’t be bothered making up my own content, thanks Lyle 😉
ap.a.thy, noun:
1. Lack of interest or concern, especially regarding matters of general importance or appeal; indifference.
2. Lack of emotion or feeling; impassiveness.
Here, there, everywhere. Can’t be bothered. Want to go back to bed. Changes required? Probably, can’t be bothered with change. Catch-22. Funny book, bleak outlook. Outlook 2003 issues. Annoying and on to do list. List too long there. List too long here. No change, same old crap.
Ohh and the sun is back out.
Whoopee-fuckin-do
(Don’t worry I’ll be fine later, when I get home)
BLIZZARD!!!
Feck, where did that come from? One minute blue skies, the next whiteout.
Of course today is the first day for 3 weeks that I’ve NOT brought lunch in with me. Feck.
Still, at least someone will be happy.
“10 things I can’t be bothered to blog about” by diamond geezer.
Awfully good of him as it saves me posting similar thoughts here (although I have mentioned THAT virus so it’s only really 9 things).
Hmmm blogging by proxy, it could catch on…
“Post this on every message board you can find. Get the word out. If you have a friend or family member who does not understand how to operate an anti-virus, please check that they are updated and protected. If you know someone running anti-virus on an e-mail server, please tell them to turn off the bounce feature.“
I received this virus 8 times yesterday, 10 times last night, and … (just checking…) 5 times since 3 a.m. this morning.
The best piece of advice is (and this is not new!): DO NOT OPEN ATTACHMENTS FROM PEOPLE YOU DON’T KNOW!
Finally getting the reading bug again. Does anyone else have the same on/off thing when it comes to reading? I’m either reading 2 or 3 books at the same time, completing them all in the space of a week or I don’t read a thing. Odd.
Anyway, last night I finished Life, A Users Manual. It was a bit of a chore but quite rewarding. There is so much detail and description that it requires a fair amount of attention to get the most out of it but the reward is all the more complete for it. The underlying premise is the story of a building and it’s inhabitants over a generation. Throughout the book the inhabitants of each room are described in minute detail, and it is this detail that will either make or break this book for you. Some may find it overly fussy, others will marvel at the recording of the tiniest detail. Character development is well rounded if not particularly advancing, but then it’s not supposed to be. Ultimately, this book will have it’s fair share of lovers and haters.
So, if you are looking for something a bit different, and a bit heavier than the usual round of ‘pulp fiction’ I would give it a try.
Next up Hitchcock on Hitchcock (with the Counte of Monte Cristo waiting in the wings).
