Parallels

So, found Parallels. It`s pretty obvious that any machine without a red dot in the middle of the keyboard is completely useless for my purposes, having to swerve down to that slow and annoying pad-thing below the keyboard is a nuisance i really can`t live with. So, i won´t be doing this with a Mac anytime soon. (Cross-licensing deal with Lenovo to get the red dot anyone? And get ahold of the pgup-pgdwn-keys next to the up key as well, having to press two buttons for pgup is just silly.

Is just a totally neat word for describing the experience of being somewhere electrifying. Which i just made up, probably based on some traces previously established by similar words but with no possibility for further lineage-tracing.

So i`ll chalk it up to the marvellous ingenuity which the human brain is capable of. Not exactly curing cancer here, but hey, fail better.
The problem is that i`ve grown into the habit of failing worse, doing better, failing even worse, doing even better and so forth. Oh well.

Zaniness ensues.

Dear goodness giving up smoking requires that people just disappear for four to five days. Then it`s all sweet and dandy. Nobody seems to realize this though, and views i as an abnormality when one takes the time out of one`s schedule to get rid of some nicotine. Yah well. I should be reasonable nicotine-free unless i get incredibly angry soon, which there is at least some reason to hope i`ll avoid. It went totally wrong a week ago, but we`ll see.

Other than that, yeah, the "Stowaways" story arc over at The Escapist is eerily familiar. (In a good and bad way.) But that is as is. It has its moments when things are on automatic and you wonder just what is being constructed, but hey. We`ll see what bounties await the ever azure skies. (Okay, just had ice cream, cheer down a little!, nah, don`t!)

Mission Control @ SOMafm is officially the best thing to happen to a mind needing something to focus on when in the borderlands of being. Grown really fond of that channel, by now i usually only tune in when there is a Shuttle Mission ongoing, unfortunately we won`t hear any of those longer, so i hope Mission Control keeps on operating for those times i need a background boost in my world.


Butters and cream. I want to start the espresso machine and make a major racket whilst staying up all night caffeinated, but that would wake kids, which we don`t want to do.

Other than that, everything proceeding according to plan, except for me having spent too much money on alcohol (shame on me) and me not having enough privileges on these computers to install VirtualBox. Which is annoying since i have a four-way DropBox-LFS project i want to get my hands on as soon as possible!
