New Year's Eve



Well, here I am, three hours from 2014. I know it was a slow year for my blogs, especially this one and Feminism Wow. I did a little more updating on Writer’s Blog, since I have been writing a lot more, story-wise, than during the last few years.

I’m spending a calm evening at home, as it were. I’m working on “Living Conditions,” one of my stories, rereading old Loki Files (#2 currently), playing a little “Ballad of Solar” in-between, and listening to Meatloaf. But that’s okay, I like calm evenings at home.
The next year I plan to get a better grip on the Cambridge comma (my mortal weakness), among other things. I also hope not to leave my blogs out in the cold as I did this year, even though some of my vigour might have drained from me. My burnout taught me one thing for sure: sometimes it’s not worth getting all hyped up about something. Why should I get all angry and, perhaps, sick about it when everyone else doesn’t care, after all? There are still quite some valid reasons to get raving, though, so I will be writing. Not tonight, however, I’m keeping true to my principle of ‘no bitching between Christmas and New Year.’
Biggest shock of the year? Well, I am on Facebook! Mostly because my brother in everything but blood made me, so we could chat there in peace. Which we do ‒ very often. I’m almost done with my accounting course, too, so next year I’ll be job hunting. I still can’t believe I learned it so well…

Happy New Year and a Good 2014 to everyone still reading this blog! Have a great day/night, just as I do!

I'm still alive!

I know I’ve just managed to post the weekend updates for a long time – if that, as last week. I have, however, been very busy. We’ve been working on transferring a whole forum and we had to copy/paste the whole stuff, because we couldn’t get the database files.


That’s over now, so I hope to go back to some more post-writing and writing in general.


I did learn something interesting yesterday, though. My car’s battery had died and in order to charge the new one my local garage put in, I had to drive around a bit, so I figured I would do my weekly shopping in a shopping mall a bit further away. I was well acquainted with the road I was going to take, as I had worked for a while for a company only a few hundred meters away from the mall. And after maybe a couple of hundred meters in my car, getting to speed up over city speed limits for the first time in a long while (I’d always been driving around my hometown), I suddenly realized it: I had missed it. I had missed driving longer distances, having a chance to let my mind work, let it roll out ideas and play with them. Don’t misunderstand me, though, I was concentrated on driving, but doing it also allowed my imagination to speed up and get to work. It was … strange, but fruitful, you might say.


It started my imagination up again and so I hope there will be more in this blog soon enough, that I might overcome my ‘don’t bother’ attitude and start ranting and bitching again, just as I did when I started writing my blog. I will also do more driving and taking my camera along … more pictures and not just from my hometown.

Schroedinger's Cat


That’s the best solution for the problem I’ve ever seen. The cat is both, even outside the box.

Interesting Invoice

I found this invoice online and now I’m wondering whether it was paid…

It seems quite a sensible pricing, though.
