Off the Cuff

Shouldn't laptop computers actually fit on one's lap? Especially mine?
So here I am trying very hard, for the very first time, to balance my unusually heavy and somewhat unruly laptop on my lap and type a post that will speak of precious little that makes sense but which, I'm sure, is going to take longer than usual.

I have The Eagles streaming through my spiffy new earphones and the song somehow reflects my current mood. You will excuse me if I skip the masquerade...And I've been waiting in the weeds, Waiting for the dust to settle down along the back roads running through the fields, Lying on the outskirts of this lonesome town...

Speaking of spiffy new earphones... I finally get myself a headset that actually works on my laptop and suddenly all my chatty friends on Gtalk have disappeared! A real shame though, especially since the superbly enhanced sound from the earphones would make them all sound better than they usually do ;-) Hey Joe!

It's amazing how many paragraphs I've just deleted before typing out this sentence. I wonder if this one isn't going to make it either. I guess it is...
Which brings me to my next point...

I think single people who hit on the married ones are just plain lazy.... and also plain stupid. See, they think they're getting the real deal without having to do all the legwork. What they don't seem to realise is that by the time they get to these supposed prize catches, it's way past the expiry dates on them!

And speaking of expiry dates... my cook of one year just reached hers. She turned out to be as bad as the cheese spread that got me into hospital when I was 7. And just as toxic. I had no choice but to fire the ungrateful bitch. So I'm back to sweating it out in the kitchen every morning. When I could be out in the garden, playing with GM. Not that I have GM as yet, nor the will to actually wake up and hit the garden. The garden, thankfully, exists. So that's one less thing to achieve!

Well, Don Henley just said you are not alone, you are not alone like 10 times before fading out on my winamp player... And that really depresses me (the thought that I am not alone). Also, my thighs can barely hold the weight of this laptop much longer so I'm going to wind up now.

I see the long break hasn't changed any of the scattershot approach, or lessened the anger.

Welcome back.

Yup... angry and unfocused... that's me! Thank you :-)
