Watching and waiting for…… From across the roadway there is a group of military officers and tag a longs coming towards the abbey. Heading through the crowds that are making way for them to pass with a little nudging from the bobbies wandering about. Looking at each as the pass my viewpoints gaze locks on one young lady. Brown hair and straight back. She is being escorted. Novel. No insignia but basic. General. Admiral are speaking quietly besides her. She shakes her head quickly and sharply then our eyes lock onto each other. Her step falters slightly and she gives an almost imaginary nod while my disembodied right hand comes up and rubs my eyebrow…and then with slow directness, her eyes move directly towards the main doorway.... nudge, nudge, wink, wink..
Where did I put Friday? It was here and voom! Gone. I know I left it here somewhere. Probably some cheeky rabbit nipped off with it and is teasing in the hedgerow. I think clipping some bells to a fluffy tail might stop it from going off. Think about that.
After testing a theory this last evening and seeing that it would in fact fail. Well, what does one do but regroup. It wasn't that bad. I wanted to see if the monitor arm I got for my display would hold an old monitor of the same size. Nope.. too darn heavy. I was thinking how nice it would be to have two monitors connected up. I have two old monitors and thought that they matched and would be nice to have but not at the weight they are. So now I have two monitors I can’t really use the way I wanted. Yes they are old flat screens and yes they still work quite fine. Just not for what I want to do. No I am not going to purchase another 24 in monitor to match the lightweight one I have. I am not going to waste the money. I've dropped out of the first adopters club.
The only reason I have multiple screens at work is due to the amount of windows I have to have open at one time to do my job. That may change and I will drop a screen if that happens. No more auto consumerism just because. So far looking back its been a bomb. A waste of funds and came to naught. Now I will consider over and over on a purchase. So far nothing has found a way to cross my needs threshold except three belts. I needed them as two were borrowed never to return. Also they were pretty cheap. Look at what I wrote below in the links and you will get an idea. Are we living to work to consume to die? What’s the point spread for dying with the biggest house or largest bank account? Nada. Just like video games. All that farming and all that armor collecting for hours upon hours wasted. Yes, I do still play a little but not lately, and no, I am still trying to motivate myself. Perhaps when I feel that my head isn't going to come loose of my neck I can get out. Driving to and from work is all the driving I want to do right now.
Hypocritical a little of the change of heart.
Shots I worked on last night fell into the old and falling down or just old.
Nice in a wandering in the middle of nowhere.
It shouldn’t take 46 seconds. It’s all bad. I remember back a statement out of Japan that they cycle their electronics every month. Boggled the mind at the time. Now. Now I see how it happens. You “have” to have the latest thing. As an old early adopter I have spun around in place. I have to fight the feeling and am doing well. It’s a bad habit. Now that there are enough nuts out there that will buy, test and comment on most things I do not buy right away or at all.
On the list of things that are artificially overpriced and waved in front of your face… gold, aluminum, diamond’s in no special order. Waste of time buying any of it.
What is reality? Did we just see the BSOD on the sun?
Amazing and again… what’s real, what is a miracle…
Zonked!
