  • Soothing, relaxing Friday Five

    • What are your favorite ways to relax and unwind? – Listen to music, read a book, play on the computer.
    • What do you do the moment you get home from work/school/errands? – Close the door behind me. After that? Well, it depends doesn’t it?
    • What are your favorite aromatherapeutic smells? – *blink* *blink* Yes, because all bloggers are into aromatherapy. Next question, please.
    • Do you feel more relaxed with a group of friends or hanging out by yourself? – I’ll tell you what, next time I have a group of friends I’ll let you know. I’ve never had a group of friends…
    • What is something that you feel is relaxing but most people don’t? – You mean, something we assume most people don’t feel is relaxing. We’re not mindreaders, after all. Well, maybe you are, but I’m not. Uh, anyway, I don’t have a good answer for this question. Sorry.

    Friday Five

  • So, Karel, how’s your vacation?

    As some of you may know, I’m on something resembling a vacation. While it is true that I won’t be leaving the house more than once or twice during my long break from work, I think I’ll still manage to enjoy myself.

    Wendi and Bernie left at noon Wednesday. The balance of that day was spent minding various children, going to a cub scout activity and then sacking out for the night. Yesterday was our first full day without Mom and Grandpa around. I managed to deal with the three-year-old munchkin that I was dragooned into babysitting, and also managed not to screw up dinner too badly.

    The kids and I are looking forward to a nice long weekend of fun and frolic, including all the gaming we can stand. I’m also hoping to finish up TMTT by the end of my vacation and possibly get some more work done on my next music video.

    I’ve also got a bit of a hankering to tinker with the website a little. I’m not sure what I want to do, but I want to do something. Be afraid, be very… no, I suppose there’s nothing to really be afraid of. Nevermind. Let’s put it this way: Right now the only thing on this site that represents my anime-fanboy side is TMTT, and I think I’d like to do something about that. I’m not thinking of cluttering up the design of the main site, mind you. What I have (very vaguely) in mind is more like a sub-site with all kinds of anime geegaws and what-not.

    Or maybe I should wait until I have a high-speed Internet connection at my disposal once more. Blah. Stupid modem.

  • The man’s an idjut, I tells ya.

    Gee Dubya isn’t exactly on a roll lately. First there’s the absurd “fool me once” episode. Then there’s his concept of “embetterment” in Israel. And now this. (Thanks, Rooba!)

    My theory is that they’ve buried Dan Quayle under a load of latex costuming and passed him off as a Bush. Hey, have you ever seen the two of them together? (Of course not. That amount of stupidity in close proximity would probably spawn some sort of tear in the fabric of space-time, or some nonsense like that.)
