My new keyboard pops up a message on my monitor when I hit caps lock. I think this is a good thing because I often accidentally hit caps lock without noticing. Although surely if I were looking at the screen then I would notice that I’ve hit caps lock anyway. Maybe some sort of chime [...]

500 words isn’t that much really is it?
Cherry Ripe. Mmmmmmmmmmmm. This was another “surprise for Yay for no real reason” from my father. Why is it be nice to Yay weekend? This is really very odd… are they about to kick me out of home or something?
250 word award
2 corn thins with margarine and promite and a slice of cape seed loaf with the same condiments as the corn thins. Corn thins are great. As is cape seed loaf.
Vest Practice Assignment
…so reads the title of the assignment that I plan to finish today (after starting it 10 minutes ago). No it will not be the highest quality piece of work I’ve ever completed but I don’t think that matters. Considering that the course material is at least 8 years out of date, I imagine that [...]
ahhhhhh
I arrived home tonight in a fairly foul mood, after a trying day with my employer and found a letter on my desk from my grandparents. It contained $100 because “sometimes it is a joy not only to give but to receive, hence this little surprise for you”. Ahhhhhhhh . No other reason. [...]

and it was monday indeed
This morning it was a struggle to get out of bed. This was the second time in 5 days that I had encountered such a problem. While reading the paper at work it occurred to me that maybe I should have a holiday. Sure it would delay my reaching 2000 hours of work and I [...]
a new era in dental hygiene
I now have my first tooth and tongue brush. And I like it! It’s like a normal toothbrush but with rubber ridge things on the back of the head. A visual inspection of the tongue area pre- and postbrushing revealed that it definitely does SOMETHING. And I quite like the brush bit too. My old [...]
