Online Shopping

A furnace for cash
My what a creation
A bonfire for money
Zero difficulty
One click is all you need
No more shops


It should not be this easy for me to purchase books and games at any time of day using only a mouse and some numbers off a rectangle of plastic.

Heated Insomnia

With a gentle sigh as soft as the breeze,
My body is rolled without the greatest of ease.
Must sleep, need sleep, can't sleep.
The air is thick and hot to the touch
Clinging to skin just a little too much.
Must sleep, need sleep, can't sleep.
An envious glance at my dog in his bed,
Covered in fur from his tail to his head.
Snoring away in his unconscious state,
Why is it I who must have to wait?
Must sleep for work.
Need sleep to think.
Can't sleep at all.
Not even a wink.

The Triumphant Return

Greetings programs! (ten points for those who get that quote)
I'm back, albeit briefly, just to give a quick heads up and let it be known I haven't melted away in this all too unexpected summer we're having in the UK.
My music festival adventure went off without a hitch and it has taken me a full week to recover in both mind and body. Especially body. A combination of not sleeping and over-drinking with a dash of singing until my voice was coarser than gravel left me in a sorry state. It was quite the bacchanalia let me tell you. Hundreds of pounds and abusing my own body. Would I do it again? What sort of absurd question is that? Why I try to do it twice a year!
For now though, with my body virtually healed I go to face my next opponent and challenge: the return to the gym after a 2-3 week hiatus. Wish me luck!
End of line. (if you got that first quote you had to have gotten that one)

Intermission

A not so subtle break while I attempt to finish writing part 2 of my last piece.

Sit back. Slouch a little, the way you shouldn't but it's just that much more comfortable. Go on. Part 2 will be here soon enough. Here's a little ditty to take your mind off of things. There's even some lyrics if you want to sing. Enjoy.
