    I had an old friend visiting the nearby city tonight and I agreed to go out...

    ...I am so incredibly happy she had to cancel last minute. It's not even eleven here and I'm so tired I can barely keep my eyes open. Had I've been out partying I'd be asleep in some corner of a noicy bar/club by now!

    I'm going to have a sleep in tomorrow. After getting up twenty past four for a week I really, really need it.

    Sitting on the balcony with a drink and the dogs. Watching Riverdale. There is a nice little breeze and it‘s actually quite peaceful, as long as the dog don‘t get one of their barking fits.

    I am truly, deeply, and madly in love. That's way better than writing the best thing ever or publishing anything. Sometimes it's really great to have something overpower the struggles of a writer's life or just life in general. This kind of happiness cancels out everything wrong.

    Great wedding proposal party at the restaurant tonight. Party of 50, and the only two people in the building who knew what was happening was the groom to be and I. Poor prick called me six times last night freaking out about every little detail. Thankfully everything went off without a hitch. Nice to see some happiness in a business largely composed of misery.

    The thing about that is, a lot of people talk about how romantic their proposal was and mention how many people it was in front of, but I would rather have it be in private. I feel like if a proposal is in public (especially in front of strangers), it becomes a performance, and the person being proposed to might feel pressured to "play the part" and say "yes". What if they wanted to say "no"?

    Agreed. I proposed to my wife in a hot tub with only a bottle of Vueve Clicquot to witness it. I've done a lot of proposal dinners before... never seen a "no" before, but I know of a few cases where the woman declined a few days later in private.

    *Disclaimer: It's a gift for CT, but it has nothing to do with 007. It's shipping from Russia, hence the name. :p

    I‘ve just learned I finished another module of my studies with a satisfying grade. It‘s a great relief, especially because I wasn‘t sure I was within the deadline (I had two different dates in my notes :p).

    Picked up a mouse and a USB-A adapter for my iPad. Life is much easier now. Don't have to use the buggy SanDisk app for flash drive transfers anymore. Don't have to tap the screen whenever I want to switch files in Pages or Scrivener.

    Figured out I can pretty much totally replace my MS Office subscription with iWork, Scrivener, and LibreOffice, so that's another few dollars saved each month.

    Drug resistant tuberculosis, HIV or Lada?

    (Can't be Russian cheese. All of it goes to Syria. They use it as barrel bombs.)

    I know that CT is interested in things of a medical nature, but... :eek:

    He already has 2 vehicles, and I know at least one of them runs. :p

    I don't think cheese would ship so well. o_O

    Iranians tried to put some Russian cheese to some oil tankers in Persian Gulf but they exploded.

    Someone tried to tell those were magnetic mines, but we know Russian chees when we see it's destructions.

    The first line of that was all that was visible on my monitor initially.

    I thought it was John Holmes' lament.

    If you're anything like me, you then get an online ad for the most expensive bricks and mortar department store and notice you could have got a better quality product at half the price you ended up paying for the eBay junk.

    Well, yeah, if you're buying bricks and/or mortar, it makes a lot more sense to get them locally and save on shipping costs. I don't think anyone's done any serious long-distance brick orders since they built that grand city hall in New York.


    eta: and there was quite a lot of other stuff in that order, the shipping on the bricks was probably thrown in for free.

    I don't feel quite so alone now in my error. Thanks @Iain Aschendale for finding me folks with something in common. Although, they didn't really get round to saying how much they paid for theirs, did they?

    I'm very happy about my electricity bill. I just checked online in case they had calculated it, and they have. 90.67 for 2 months usage! :cheerleader:
    That's the second cheapest bill I've ever had since I moved here (3 years, 3 months ago). Hell yeah! :superyesh:
