Morning!

First thing when I got online yesterday morning, I saw an e-mail from LJ saying that I had been gifted with paid account left-overs by zaecus. What a great thing to wake up to! Very nice gift from someone I only know through comments in other people's journals.

Spent yesterday resting in the heat. Now I'm still hot and lethargic, but also restless. Need to do stuff! Not sure how I'm actually going to get myself to do stuff, but it still needs to be done.

For a change, and since I'm not feeling terribly interesting at the moment, I post a quiz result:( What *is* my World View? )

I think blame for the relatively high Postmodern score should go to MegaHAL. It's amazing how much of an influence that artificial unintelligence has been on my world view, really. [Edit: Though the spiritual-but-not-religious thing annoys me. Frankly, I'm both.]

Mention of MegaHAL naturally leads to the subject of poetry, so here's a poem from a book borrowed from the children's section of the public library which I was compelled to type up yesterday when someone's children's story was criticized for being too violent:( Don't Cry, Darling, It's Blood All Right. )

I retain many childlike qualities. Take that as you will.

Quick vent

Found the household vacuum and saw that the bag had split open, apparently without the responsible party bothering to either notify someone that the cleaner was unusable or to make things so that we'd have a working vacuum again.

My flashlight stopped working tonight. It's possible that the bulb simply burned out, but the switch has been wonky lately and there's probably something else going on. Since I have no money for a new flashlight, I guess this means that the next time the power goes out (or a lightbulb burns out in a critical part of the house) I'll be stumbling around in the dark.

The weather is hot and sticky, I have no air-conditioning, and I'm irritable. Also, the insects seem to be enjoying the climate inside this house far more than I am.

And though I've said it before, I get to say it again: I despise bureaucracy.
