Learning is Fun!
My lap is getting really hot.
If you are of the filthy mind-set (and if you are my friend reading this, you probably are) all this means is that I am getting with 2006 and finally broke down and got a laptop for the house. This solves a lot of problems, namely me hogging the PC leaving poor Consie with no access to the computer.
It never occurred to me that a laptop would be this versatile, and that I could take it to bed with me so that while Consie lounged around, or watched TV, I could be merrily surfing away jacked into the Interwebs; happy as a clam … with wireless connectivity, natch!
Great weekend just swung by … had a few friends over, met some great new people ( *waves at Jessica and Allan* ) and consumed inordinate amounts of animal proteins … that will surely lead into dinners of oatmeal and yogurt for a week once again as penance of sorts.
Faith had a wonderful tale about how some of you folks out there read my stuff here and actually thought I was half-entertaining! I am very grateful for the morale boost so here I am again merrily pecking away on the keyboard, inflicting my take on the world on the hapless netizens of cyberspace.
Let us see … what have I learned this past week?
- After meeting and drinking with Mr. Allan Borleo, I realized that no, I am not crazy or stupid for being the way that I am in my career. Nice to see not to be alone.
- Also with Allan, being happily married does not necessarily mean that I am vanilla-grade boring … we married guys still have a lot of fun … but out of respect ( or is that fear ?) for our spouses, we are not at liberty to speak of our adventures in Marital-Land.
- Well, we could talk about it, but then our spouses would have to kill us. Or worse, impose a No-Sex-For-You embargo for the foreseeable future. Now we can not have that, can we?
- Laptops are waaaaaaayyyy cool.
- A little thing like a relative stranger/acquaintance praising your work can really cure a bad case of writers block.
- I no longer fear Jose Cuervo. Well, up to his 725 ml level anyways.
- Alone time away from a spouse is good to allow continued self-growth … but I prefer it only in very small doses.
How about you guys? How did your week go?
