Court Out
I have definitely done quite the disappearing act over the last year and certainly the last few months.
It's just that now my Tweet Stone has become my main port key to Cyberia since the tablet died and I rarely slink upstairs to this Big Mac, it is easier to spend time pottering around and lurking online rather than squiggling.
I did get a Bluetooth keyboard for November Nanowrimo a couple of years ago but now the Y and Z keys no longer work. I mean it's not exactly like losing the S or the E but it still has the effect of being a speed bump on the road to the Green Zone.
I am sure that Y is in the bottom 10 of letters used in English but it is pretty indispensable when you want to talk about the days of the week, when you want to talk to someone or about a bunch of people.
As well as that, I worked out from timed squiggling blitzes that it is simply more efficient to write with a keyboard for 15 minutes than to hunt and peck on a phone only to get frustrated because my fingers cannot keep up with the words.
But aside from squiggling, the days have been filled with an assortment of temptations lately.
I am quite the culture vulture. Last night I went to the Half Mad Bar at the musuem. For the 4th time. Not to get drunk and disorderly but for a more mundane motive.
The museum usually closes at 5pm but they brought in special Friday night openings for the duration of the Wonderland exhibition.
The presence of the bar makes it an 18+ event which is precisely the point. I would rather pay a premium to go in the evening knowing that there will be no squealing rug rats or chaos monsters assaulting my ears with their squealing.
The Wonderland exhibition finishes on Sunday 23rd and it is also the school holidays now so next week will be packed with all the procrastinators channeling their inner White Rabbit.
