1. Something like one in ten of the e-mail messages in my work account exhorts me to aid fallen dictators by helping them arrange confidential bank transfers. I think that's up from an average of one in fifteen last month.
Note to scam artists:
A) Pick a more sympathetic subject.
B) DON'T TYPE IN ALL CAPS.
2. Today I am having trouble getting inanimate objects to do my bidding.
3. I passed a florist's shop in Lynn on the bus this morning. A banner over the entrance read:
Arrg!
4. I am reading Coraline by Neil Gaiman. It's a good thing. And somehow I managed to buy a "limited edition of 4000 specifically for the hobby trade" without even meaning to (i.e., I bought it in a comic book store). I bet that will be worth tens of quarters some day on eBay.
5. Saturday evening Silas and Klae trekked up to share our sausage, as well you can imagine. After dinner, we watched a film with lots of boobies. I forgot, however, to send Klae home with my copy of a film without.
6. A happy belated birthday to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
atalanta.
7. A happy not-moving tojasonlizard.
8. My sister reports that her youngest child discovered how to work the microwave and subsequently tried out his new ability on the cordless phone.
Fortunately, most of their pets and both of his siblings are larger than he is.
9. Not aiding my academic motivation in any way, my abstract for this year's big conference, about the fate of which I was wondering yea, even this very morning, was not accepted, as I have learned from the afternoon mail.
10. If I compose my journal entries offline and then upload them, I do not log so much time on the internet and yet I am still goofing off just as much.
