bluecastle | well HI there...

Not sure what was up with the work computer the last few days. Whenever I'd try to go to LJ I'd get this annoying "server taking too long" message. And since I tend to post/read mah flist in between cataloging junque... my LJ time has been seriously compromized of late. But finally this afternoon the internet plumber or whoever seem to have unclogged the choked pipeline and I could finally load my friends page.

Didja miss me? Yeah, probably not, but that's ok. I missed me enough for both of us. LOL.

Got a bunch of random STUFF done earlier. Twigged on to this blog "holiday" called Discardia ... which occurs in any period of the year between the Solstice and the next new moon. You spend time then getting rid of stuff in your life. Physical things, or mental clutter. Whatever you need to release. I have got WAY too much crap littering the little blue castle, so things are going OUT. I will be making lots of runs to the charity shop, but that's a good thing. Even tossed in the trash some unfinished projects that were never going to get completed and I wanted to stop feeling guilty about. BYE BYE clutter bugs...

About to put my feet up and watch Castle, having just returned from a nighttime walk to the corner mailbox. Dude...we need better sidewalks and streetlights around here. I have never liked the dark. And have been skeered into being wary of nefarious characters who might be lurking around every corner waiting to jump out and attack me. Actually, I think WAY too much of my psyche was formed when I was about 11 and my mother was working for a social service agency that ran a rape crisis hotline. Phone calls in the middle of the night ... the knowledge of bad men...

Anyway... not the point... I'm just stopping by to say hello before putting my feet up. Also resting my eyes as I am currently going through 25 year old slides of my one and only Europe trip and scanning them into the computer. Most of them are crap, but there are a few good ones. Still working my way through the 90 slides taken in (or on the way to) England.

Time travel!!!
