It's not even Monday

I hate pre-9am travel. I can't stomach eating breakfast before I head out into the drudgery of other pre-9amers: soulless uncaring community.

There's no joy of life standing waiting for the bus. Not even the birds care to sing for me today, odd how I notice when it never occurred to me before.
No touch, no smile, no talking as I swipe my pass.

I use this time to catch up on the world events, work emails, whatever. The only time I get to read the books I bought fithteen years ago. It's Tales from Earthsea a classic fantasy I must read. I love fantasy. Living an hour twenty three mins each morning in someone else's works is a dream. 

Godssake people are deathly quiet this morning.

Must be the hum of the diesel engine drowning out their voices. I see their mouths moving. Faces deep in screens. I prefer real pages. But silence here nonetheless.

A woman gets on with her baby. She wasn't here yesterday. She''ll lose herself in here. Her baby is crying, a shrill voice louder than this deafening silence. Gods I'm awake now kid!

Felt like I was drowning, all this time, and I've just come up for air. Why isn't anyone else reacting? Why is no-one paying attention? She's been on too long, that mother, her voice has been swallowed and the baby cries. It knows.

Gotta get off this damn bus.

Daily Snippet: Hello Ladies!

Daily Snippet: Fast Expulsions

I was audience to a rather amusing Xmas holiday anecdote:

'I went Dog Sledding during the holidays. It was marvelous fun however they don't tell you how smelly it is. The humans and dogs alike are loaded up and driven up to the trail, then all is unloaded and the dogs are harnessed and you're on the off! As you are in transit the dogs kick up snow and dirt, this somewhat dulls the experience as I had hard sludge hit my face. A little while later we stopped and the guide started laughing. He explained that the dogs are caged during transport and then they are straight on the harness and often relieve themselves while on the move. In hindsight, he should have told me to close my mouth....'

Truth!

I'm gonna blow your mind...

Anyone else see Zapdos, Moltres and Articuno? 

BAM!

Daily Snippet: Silent Argument

....why is it when you walk past someone everyone is silent for about 2.5 seconds then you resume your conversation EVEN though you're all still in ear shot of each others conversations BEFORE and AFTER the passing? Social etiquette baffles me. 

It even happens when folk are have full blown arguments in the street. You can hear them from a mile away and you creep past them and there's that awkward silent pause as they wait for you to pass...you hold your breath....then BLAM full battle mod activated! WHY?   

Daily Snippet: Abbrev.

I give in and up!

I'm playing PN2 for the BL2 UL but only the TF2 UL works so now I'm having to DL TF2. Only to get volunteered for some MVM...what have I gotten myself in to?

Daily Snippet: New Year Junk

The weather put us off Step Two of the New Year Project "Mobile Furnace" as in picking a suitable spot for it to go outside. Gots to build it from the ground up but we need to take apart the Autumn Project the "Rocket Stove".

It did us really proud that little thing. Even made bread and cookies in it but that's all it was good for. It was an excellent first Junk Craft project. Recycling it to make the furnace will do it justice I think. Maybe even Rocket Stove Mark II? 

Very late/early Snippet

A plan is brewing...
