LOLCattage

see more Lolcats and funny pictures

It's 4 in the morning, and I'm putting up pictures of LOLcats. I really wish I could get some sleep, but tonight is not the night. :(

OTOH, the dawn chorus is amazing, and I am sitting here in the living room with the candles lit and all as the sun begins its journey across the daytime sky.

Little Rituals

As I greet the Sun, I recite the following affirmations:-

You, who are the source of my power,
Whose rays illuminate the world,
Illuminate my heart
So that I too might do your work.

and

Blessed Be the fierce Sun burning bright.
Blessed, the silvery Moon at night.
Blessed, the Air that bears the Hawk
And Blessed Be the Earth on which I walk.

I recommend them as affirmations for your lives, my f'list.

Out of Here

Right. I'm heading out of here and off to town. A4e is a-calling.

It's half an hour into town, and the baker stops serving Cumberland sausage barms at 11:30. You know, the Alsatian.

I am damned if I am going to panic and run around just because I miss out on a Cumberland sausage barm today.

Man is master of any nerve. And the nerve I'm master of is that nerve between my ever-hungry gut and my hypothalamus. My gut can bloody well wait.

Cyberpunk Review Stuff - Web Science Diagram

Whilst catching up with The Cyberpunk Review, I noted the news article on Sir Tim Berners - Lee's founding of The Web Science Research Initiative
and its research remit.

I seriously want to get into this ...

Early Release From A4e Today

Everybody's out of A4e early - there's a staff meeting taking place at 14:15.

So I'm going to head into town early tonight.

Gotta go. Laters.

The Anti-BNP Protest Incident

BNP Leader Pelted With Eggs

( Bear in mind that the fascists of the BNP are using democratic means to achieve an undemocratic end ... )

"They presented themselves as a mainstream party. The reality was because the turnout was so low, they actually got elected."

And that's me done for tonight

I am tired.

I have been up reading and writing stuff. Fourth Rewrite stuff, mostly. Editing, beginning with a good look at the opening chapter.

I'm conducting a three stage edit. Spelling errors first; broken sentences second; continuity and clues third. I'll make edits, and once I'm satisfied each chapter is tight, and that it is consistent with the rest of the book, I'm going to print up that chapter.

I have a lot of pages to print up, and so I'll be rationing the printing until each chapter is ready so I can save on cash.

On a different front, I contacted the electricity utility company. They say my bill's going to be delayed for a further two months - so my bill will be for five months, not three. The good news is, I have now obtained the option of paying in through a pay as you go card, spreading the cost.

That will help a lot.

Furthermore, the bill following will be at the end of October, and that will be for three months. Everything will be back to a quarterly scheme.

In all, this will help me to keep control over my bills, and of how little I can get away with spending. They can't bill me for electricity I don't use, after all.

So, there you are. A moderately eventful day, with the early release from A4e, the news abotu Nick Griffin getting pelted by eggs, and this thing with the leccy.

And tomorrow, it's off to Luke O'Connor House and Hightown Communities First. They want designs for a leaflet. I've come up with an idea hat might just help.

But I'll have to pop into the library first. After I've got my 2000AD.

Looks like an early morning for me.

Night night.
