“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”
The weekend is over, and the blight of Daylight Savings Time has now fully hit the Western world. I have never understood the point of this particularly stupid idea, which robs us all of an hour of badly-needed sleep, and ruins the natural progression of the seasons....
So we all managed to survive the weekend – just about – and Drumpf just pulled off a pretty impressive TACO play today. I suppose we should all be thankful for that – and, indeed, it is a VERY GOOD THING that he backed off on his frankly unhinged...
So much for the weekend – not, of course, that this one was particularly good. The Axis of Epstein continues to drive the world screaming over a cliff with jagged rocks at the bottom of a VERY LOOOOOOOOOONG drop. Oil prices are headed to well over US$100/bbl....
Well, it is Monday, and amazingly, somehow, we managed to make it through the weekend without a Trumper Tantrum setting off a nuclear war. And actually, there are signs that, as of today, Ornj Boi is considering VERY STRONGLY!!! simply declaring victory and going...
So the war we have all been waiting for, and dreading, finally kicked off over the weekend, and already the evidence is clear that the US and Israel are losing – badly. This was NOT what we all needed after the weekend, at all, but it seems as though the inmates...
Another week dawns upon us, but I have to say, it does seem as though the cold grip of winter has finally loosened. Where I am, the temperature is rising, the sun is coming up at a reasonable hour, the days are getting longer, and there is a definite sense of spring...
The weekends go by way too damn fast, it must be said. Still and all, for those of us in the northern hemisphere, at least we only have another two weeks of winter to go – unless that uppity groundhog over in Punxsutawney has something to say about it. I gather...
The older I get, the faster the weekends seem to go by. No matter how much I sleep, or how many hours of video games I manage to squeeze in (which, to be fair, is not very many, not any more), there never seems to be enough Saturday to go around. And then it’s...
Ah hell, it’s Monday again. The first Monday of February, too, which for my money is the single most depressing month of the year. The reason why is simple: you know spring is right around the corner, but there is still one more month of winter weather to endure, and...
Another week, another Monday, and another tedious effort to drag oneself out of bed and off to work. For those of you on the Eastern Seaboard of the US, today was probably particularly difficult, given the mother of all snowstorms apparently slammed into the country...
