h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Another day of endless gloom.
I got several extra lamps and bulbs in my household yesterday. Still it feels so dark. It's 8.30 and I can't type without extra light. And it's only early November. I wonder if winters get darker every year.

It feels that way, doesn't it. Maybe it comes with age

This is the time of year I used to have lit candles in the windows when the kids had breakfast before school. Maybe I should take it up. Gives the gloom a certain warmth, nestlike.

15 went to school without waking me and 9 up this morning. So we missed the absolute darkness. I didn't mind but 9 also missed his cartoons.

We have candles burning in the evenings but eventually they make me very , especially after kids have gone to sleep.

Maybe you should have a chain of coloured blinking bulbs to turn on then .

Or even bulbs in pigshape, shape and - .

Not a bad idea though feels too christmassy.

not neccessarily. if you put candles on antlers they will probably resemble jewish menoras more than xmas-decorations

where is hapi

he didn't drink those 120.37 shots of espresso, i hope?

if only he had weighed 20 kilos more. then he could have drunk 150.47 shots before croking



ps: obsessive? moi?

Don't play with your abacus

then again, if he weighed 100 kilos he should be at least 2 metres tall

thats 27 times taller than my abacus

I fing it more and more complicated to w*rk in the room where are other people. My kids, for example.

Bingo! Make that a house. A big house.

Or maybe we should rephrase: I find it more and more complicated to w*rk.




*Mumles: The last lap. I can do it....cheering up sounds are heard as she jogs down the road to the beach*

I did it! I turned everything off (incl kids, email client, web browser, telnet, trillian) and got everything done. Well, everything that had a deadline this morning, Afternoon things aren't done yet...

, more !

(pssst: Hati, do you have a remote control to switch of the kids? Where did you get it? )

(They are voice controlled, I recently upgraded them. )

Voice controlled also means that they must be in hearing distance.
