  1. Possible Disaster Minus 10 Months

    The day started off on a high note. The Long Suffering Spouse had been doing quite well with her new car payments these past three months while I have been coping with inheriting the other bills she was responsible for.

    Note the word "had".

    She starts with complaining about her paycheck tomorrow which is a pittance indeed what with cut hours and free internship hours taking up the income. I remind her that this is the week payment #69 of 72 is due.

  2. Bugger it

    Damnit. My uncle's dead. The one with the lung cancer. The one I was writing Badgerman for. His birthday was last week. I aimed to finish Badgerman for then. I didn't. It isn't finished. It was never sent. And I am so pissed off with myself.
    I haven't blogged for nearly 2 months and lots of things there've been to say I just couldn't be bothered. Pretty selfish to blog now huh? Use you guys to cheer me up? Don't worry, that's not why I'm doing this. I just wanted to let it be known and what

  3. King and Slave

    I just love these lines from Mohini Chatterjee by Yeats

    I have been a king,
    I have been a slave,

    Perhaps a part of me and mine eye's ear his walking,
    butting the tarmac with footfalls his head
    full of the figureless weight of thoughts
    unable to separate the YouWe&I of others' leavings.

    Rabid he, face shaking phlegm at my comments

  5. Two funny trips to the smoking area with one very bad chat up line!

    by , 02-17-2009 at 04:59 PM (Away with the Fairies- The Travel Diary of an Irish WebFairy)
    Okay so i went away for the weekend with my friends to Dundalk. I spent a year and a half there in college and lived there on two other occasions with Archaeology, so it was a real nostalgia trip!
    So get this right...its the end of the pub crawl and we went back to the hotel for last orders. I have a nasty habit called smoking, and on the two occasions i went out to the smoking area, i returned to my friends laughing. Why? Because as usual i attract the weirdos.
