(15) Which Story?

Okay this is a blatant plug for a great set of endings. You all like a good end don't you? Have you all read the Story at Codey's World that Codey started and no less than four authors all wrote different endings. Whose did you like most? Well you can let them know by reading them and voting for the one you like. Vote at: http://www.codeysworld.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=436 No you don't have to vote for mine, vote for the one you like by 30th April. Do it now, then vote. Go on Now. Of

(14) At the Video store

So there I am bored off my face waiting for a customer to come in to our video store. It's my partner's store really, I just give him coffee breaks. Finally a middle aged woman comes in, briskly walking to to the counter. "Hi," says I. "I am after a video.' she says. "We have those.'" I say. She looks at me quizzically, but decides to press on, giving my sanity the benefit of her doubt. "It's a special video," she announces. "You're in the right place. All our videos are special." I tell

(13) My URTI is hurty.

I am certain I have been suffering an URTI, an upper respiratory infection. Of course being a hypochondriac I was certain it was my dismal end until I started to feel better. Better enjoyed me feeling him too. I call him Better because he is better than me at coping with mild complaints. (I'm better at major surgical interventions.) So convinced was I, of my fate, I began a dismal poem about "The End." I may of course have to wait until I am dead to finish it as I want it to be accurate. I m

(12) Useless Ramblings

I just washed the floor in the bathroom and laundry. I try to do it every year whether it needs or not. We are having a drought. The Govt. has put us all on restrictions. Water is very scarce. I thought I might do a naked rain dance in the street to help. How would that help, I hear you ask? Well it would scare the neighbours into leaving the state which would mean more water for those of us who remain. Things are so serious with the water that pretty soon I will have to make the coffee with

(11) My turn

First the computer plays up, now I feel like a zac's (5 cents) worth of shit. Actually a Zac was a threepenny piece in the old days before decimal currency. Yep, Australia had a silver coin worth three pennies. (I told you, we were a bit strange.) It was about 5/16 inch that's 8mm in diameter. That's the size of the coin people. (Jeez, I can't say anything can I? We used to lose them all the time. I almost lost as many of those coins as the number of times my partners thought I lost my virg

(10) If I am not found

Fellow Blogarians, or is that Blogites? I am suffering from some computer malfunctions...err what I mean is, that the computer is misbehaving in quite dramatic ways never before seen by man or boy. Win XP has determined that my programs need to be installed whilst I am in the middle of using them??? On top of that the file associations are all dropping back to the command line mode, which looks like DOS, but isn't because Micro$oft said that XP doesn't have any DOS. So if I seem to be n

(9) Discovering the right frame of mind

I've been tired and not feeling the best, mainly because the best keep well away from any one my age. Okay, that's not true. The best do come near me, but it is a curiosity thing with them, I think. They still won't let me feel them though. I could view my present frame of mind as feeling the worst, but that wouldn't really help either, as the worst won't let me feel them either. Maybe my mind is horny and is sick of waiting for my body to catch up to it. Yeah, I reckon that would explain a

(8) Indian Summer in Adelaide

It is that time of the year in Adelaide, where the sun sets in a glorious spray of vivid gold and red colours that fluoresce the clouds to match the source of their brilliance. In the East a near full moon, almost too bright to behold is already visible in the pale grey sky soon to be the dark blue and black of night. The air is still, not even a breath a wind. The sky hangs it palest blues before they change to green and pinkish yellows as the sun disappears. Clouds float and

(7) Posted New Story

April Fools has inspired me to write a foolish story. As Blue writes: "The Gay Prank" "~ Brad and Dale want to come out, though they feel a little foolish, and their parents' slip is showing. " Hope you all enjoy it. (A fool and his story are soon parted).

(6) The Weather ends naked typing

Nothing happened yesterday. The weather has changed, summer has gone and you will all be relieved no doubt, to know that I have had to put clothes on to keep warm. No more typing naked at the keyboard till November at the earliest, unless we turn the heater up way too high. Daylight saving ended last weekend here in Adelaide, Australia and it is dark by 6 pm. Still we may yet have a few more sunny days of warmth before our Southern Winter hits. The above is merely an inane entry to make sure

(5) Blog discoveries and quests

Oh I see; if I want everyone to see my blog entries I have to click on the "publish" button. Duh! Now what the hell are the other buttons for? And what is RSS and Trackback? Does lock do anything? Oh how I hate learning curves.

Entry 4: Proofing a story.

So I have sent in my contributions to the AwesomeDude Fools Call. Then discovered I had sent a wrong file. Replaced the file, then discovered several typos that evaded my detection during the numerous proofing sessions. Yikes! If you want to find all the errors, typos, misdemeanors, and assorted illiteracies in you story, nothing is of more assistance than posting it where the rest of the world can see it. Oh, the shame of it all. A friend of mine says he proofs by reading his work backwa

Entry 2: Distraction

Well that was quite a good distraction setting up this blog. I have no idea what I will do with it. I should be writing my April Fools' story. It is nearly finished. It is very foolish. Today's word of wisdom: Buy a dish washer, or get a boyfriend who won't moan about doing the dishes. I have left several notes for my reincarnation to remind myself to make the dish washer a number one priority in my next life, assuming of course I come back as a human being or something similar.

First Entry

Okay so now I have a blog. What do I do with it? I could blog on about lots of stuff but that would bore me and anyone reading it. I just want to see what happens for the moment so I'll post this and then get back later with something more...or less, meaningful.
