How the gods cackle when serpents make plans

On Wednesday I finally found my way upstairs to the Big Mac with the grand plan of doing a giant catch up on replying to friends' posts and maybe even doing a Dreamwidth update or two;

That was the map. The territory turned out rather different. First, there were spinning beachballs and then the pages I had lined up to reply to just would not load. Both Chrome and Firefox were in freeze mode. I waited and waited and waited before finally realizing that the best way out of a hole is to stop digging. So I just turned the infernal machine off and started from scratch. But by then of course the creative squiggling mood was long gone. So I made do with zombie mode just lurking around on Twitter to see the latest stupid on steroids

It's strange looking back how I did far more comments and posts in the days when I did not even have a computer or any internet service at the Lair and was reliant totally on university computers and the nasty netcafe down the road which is long long gone.

Now I get 30GB data per month on the little Tweet stone which I also use as a Portkey to Cyberia for other devices but between distractions like Duolingo and Twitter and a general loathing for hunting and pecking on a horrid little touch screen, not much gets written at all these days

I suspect too that all the Dursleyish drama of the last few years has also taken its toll and I now spend much more time in the muggle world than I did in the good old days.


Never did go to Astrofest which was on this evening. Unlike the last week of rain and nasty muggy weather, we had lovely clear skies today but I was simply not up to navigating my way around the plague of pesky rug rats that now infest such events
Oh yesss. Of course it is lovely to get the next generation interested in science, maths, astronomy and all that sort of geeky stuff but even so, they still squawk, squeal, scream and run around like the little chaos monsters that they are.

There's a big fat fugly whiny squealimg 70 something year old chaos monster out there setting a PERFECT example for all of them and this week he has truly excelled himself

Yes I was amused to see that the orange one has retreated further into his narcissitic bubble. Blaming the media for the coronavirus problems that upset his squawkings about how great the numbers were on Wall Street. Perhaps we shall see a financial crash if this gets worse and his reign will end in smoke and ashes. But then he will never really be affected other than his ego getting a battering. He and his rich mates have swindled enough gold and like trolls have hidden it away where the taxman can't find it. It will be the poor schmucks who voted for him based on his false promises that will regret ever seeing his ugly mug.
