On Zzzz and Bleh
03/10/10
Gads. I’m lethargic, today, as if you couldn’t tell.
Even raising my arms to type the words is, to be frank, quite tiring at the moment. I’m not sure why, although I suspect it’s due to a combination of the draining effects of the heat and the related lack of sleep. [...]
On Tools in Traffic

Every Monday morning threatens to turn me into a raging sociopath.
Monday mornings are a challenge to most of us, but for me, and for my beloved, they are a true test of endurance, sanity, and bladder control. As I stay at his place every weekend, we are forced to brave the traffic from Parklands through to the city. On average, this takes us an hour, but lately it’s run anywhere from an hour and a half to two full bloody hours stuck unmoving in a tin prison.
Rat race my arse. Slug race more likely. [...]

Oh god . Has it really been that long? Apparently, it’s been that long. It’s been so long I’m not even sure I remember how this works.
My dears, this is shameful. [...]

Today is exactly one month until my birthday. I will be turning… let’s say… 25. [...]
On Heat and Water
05/20/09
You’ll have to excuse me. It’s been a tough couple of weeks. Besides battling complications and confusion resulting from events at various venues, attending interesting seminars that somehow drain the blood right out of me, and, you know, fighting crime ‘n stuff; our apartment has not had hot water for more than two weeks now.

The woman enters, business-suited and brisk. She has th
at air of estate-agentiness about her, especially around her hair. She strides past the small child playing with a matchbox car* on the tiled floor, towards the pastel houswife, packing her pastel belongings pastellinely in her pastel home. A single non-pastel cardboard box** indicates that this is a moving day. The estate-agent lady barks her greeting: “welcome to your new clean home”. [...]
On Breaks and Voting
04/28/09
So, yay then. What with pesach and easter and voting and a particularly vicious case of not-flu*, I’ve been away for a fair bit, no? And it’s really hard to get back into the swing of things post-wise. I lack discipline**. [...]
On Rest and Quiet
04/07/09
The blog will be going quite this week and next as 1) I have a lot of work to get done before 2) I go on leave. I’ll be back by Friday the 17th though and hopefully I’ll be able to post something about the exciting events of the preceding week. Until then, you can follow my updates on twitter (see the “about” section). And feel free to suggest blog topics 
till then,
Bet.
On Emails and Pique.
04/03/09
I’m having one of those busy weeks. Never mind that I’m feeling everso drained by this Indian summer, I’ve been running around rather busily, yet never getting that satisfying feeling of having accomplished anything. because hours of my time this week were spent upon mailing out the email newsletter I had so painstakingly constructed. To more than a thousand contacts. Which sucked.
