It has been a while since I last wrote.
Much water has flown under the bridge – my better half and I invested in a flat (with the aid of the friendly neighbourhood bank, of course) – this was at least a month before the beginning of the gooey kablooey. We’re currently blowing the last of our savings on furnishing and decorating the flat. Sigh…
Bloody Wednesday, the 15th of October, is a date that will haunt me in my nightmares for the rest of my lifetime.
Relatives – bloody or otherwise – suck. Period.
The Little Devil is hell bent on scaring the crap out of us once in a month. Fell sick after his measles shot this Sunday. Is recovering. Slowly. Sometimes I really wonder if it was right on my part to have brought a child into this world. Watching the little guy suffer and his not being able to say anything about it just kills me.
New scratch on the car’s bonnet. I pissed off a tempo guy who took his revenge on me. My car’s bonnet, that is. Car seems to have reduced pickup, and seems to make funny noises every now and then. A visit to the service station is due… so is the consequent hole in my wallet. Drat.
I haven’t spent much time reading the stuff that I want to read. There are a couple of interesting articles in the last 3 issues of CACM that I really want to finish. I looked on CACM as a waste of paper until the new editor took over – these days I look forward to seeing the colourful CACM cover in the mailbox every month – not to mention the last few pages.
On a related note to the last paragraph – I find myself humbled yet again by a simple looking problem. It just goes to show that… I haven’t been spending time solving problems. Soon, very soon… I need to tie up a few loose ends and then I’m gonna make sure that I get to have some time for myself. The problem that screwed me this time? Evaluate 
On the whole, life’s been pretty much the same – perhaps there’ve been more downers than uppers, but that’s still OK.
