The things you wake up thinking…
- by Ms. Eek
Normal people – I expect — wake up thinking about their kids (well, some don’t have an option to think of anything else as they get woken up by their offspring, who are happy and rearing to go. I suppose the revenge comes when said kids are in their teens and won’t get up save for a zombie invasion or a rock star). Some might wake up thinking of breakfast, the day ahead, things to do.
Not me.
I wake up thinking about USB cables; specifically the USB cable that comes packaged with all Apple keyboards.
And the fact that it’s an environmental issue.
Yep.
Seriously.
The reason I think this is that the bloody things are useful ONLY for a Mac keyboard. They have a little kink in the female end which renders them useless (and indeed, break the standard, such as it is) for that size USB cable.
The result: people don’t use them and they’re the first thing to get chucked out and/or put in a box never to see the light of day.
So why is this? Anybody? Anybody? Steve…

And as I sat there, watching them take the chicken carcass apart like madmen, I couldn’t help but wonder…
Why they didn’t just grab a chicken leg off of the plate beside it.
Some people have too much time on their hands. Especially those arty types.
Beyond that, there’s the tissue box sitting beside them…
Painted up like an alfresco cappucino (moccha latte perhaps?)
And the oranges, dimpled like golfballs.
Where do they think they are?

Some more Skyping…
While we’re on the subject, what about the complementary dishcloths that came with that mean?
mean?
Yes, they slap you with them if the mood takes them.
Odd way to behave, but I’ve heard worse.
What are you talking about?
Oh, you missed the second-course didn’t you?
What second course? We’re at a bus-stop.
Oh… Oh so we are.
You’re weird.
No, just out of synch with the world. I’m holding a conversation from this evening.

More skyping…
You try to please everyone and you end up in suburbia with only a 4wd to love.
Unless you take the blue pill, in which case the walls of reality come crashing down and you wake in a world where John Howard really was Prime Minister.
And not just a nasty little oik with delusions of stature.

Well, it’s up:
mother and child doing well…
I’ll be quaffing red wine with dinner tonight, let me tell you… I think a home-made pizza is right up my alley. I deserve it!

Well, it’s been a very good day.
The site is nearing completion and will be uploaded tomorrow…
Can’t say anything more (or link to the test site url for the moment).
As they say in Senseless: Watch this space.
