A spammer visited my page, so I thought I'd post after blocking him.

I don't seem to have been here 2013. But I got an email notification, in my spam, that someone liked one of my posts.

This place has changed since I was last here.

I think it was better back in the long ago time.

Back in 2011 I was laid off from work. During George W. Bush's administration congress had cancelled the project I worked on and the funding finally wound down. There was some meager unemployment to be had. Over the 559 days I was unemployed I averaged approximately $29.62 per day, or an average of $207.37 per week.

I should sleep soon. I don't feel tired though.

I went on a 10 mile bike ride today. It was cold. Very cold.

While purging I came across something bad. An entire box of negatives, many of which were B&W. I thought all my B&W negatives were in one place. But they weren't. But that isn't what is really bad. Someone else's negatives are mixed in with my negatives. This probably happened back in the late 1990s. Finding that person could be hard.

Today' purge focus: books. Not cookbooks, those are being looked into. Not art books, those are still important to me I think. But regular books. I mostly have a manageable amount of regular books. But I also have a lot of regular books that I've never read, or haven't read in a long time and, most importantly, probably won't ever read or read ( Read more... )
