Anybody who’s married will tell you that there are times where their spouse wakes them up in the middle of the night. Maybe it’s a jab to the side or a kick to the leg while they’re sleeping, or nights they can’t sleep so you shouldn’t be able to either. Or they get up to pee and can’t get back to sleep. Sometimes it’s for good reason. Other times there’s just no reason at all.
I wonder how many of them get woken up by a wet finger in the ear.
Yes, at 2 this morning, I woke up from my peaceful slumber to my wife sticking a finger in my ear. Not just any finger, but a wet one. And it wasn’t just moist either. It was a wet, drippy slobbery (at least I hope it was just slobbery) finger being swirled around in my ear.
My wife woke me up with a wet willie this morning. And I can tell you, it is a rather shocking way to wake up.
20 Questions
Every now and then I’ll get one of those emails from one of my friends with a bunch of questions that you’re supposed to answer and send back to people you know. You know those things that are supposed to tell your friends (and other people you don’t know) more about yourself, and things that they might not know about yet.
Got one of those today from my friend Mike, so I thought instead of spamming a bunch of people with it I’d just blog my responses. My responses probably won’t be quite as entertaining as Mike’s, but maybe someone will find it interesting.
On the move
In a few weeks, we’ll be moving to a new place. A bigger place, with more space for our Stuff. We’re not moving far. In fact we’re just moving to the other side of the building we’re in now, to a 2 bedroom apartment. The extra space will be very nice indeed, as we’re about bursting to the seams in our current place.
Now I have to collect a bunch of boxes to pack stuff up into, see about finding some mover guys to haul my stuff from one end of the building to the other, do the address changes and get utilities taken care of.
Fun fun fun.
Blogging: One Year Later
Boy, time sure flies. It’s already been a year since I jumped on the weblogging bandwagon and surprisingly enough, I’m still on it.
When I first started, I didn’t think I’d really have all that much to say. I probably still don’t, but I say what I want people to know about me, what I do and what goes on around me. If anyone actually reads it, even better!
Being an anniversary, naturally I thought I’d look over my entries for the past year to see if I could spot any evolution in my weblogging. I’m not sure my writing has changed or improved at all. Lots of linkage, lots of writings that I just seem to cut off without really finishing. I tend to do that when writing. Write and write until I run out of stuff to say, then just end it. It definitely makes it hard for me to write up my research, but I’ve been working at changing that. Bad habits die hard though.
It’s been a fun year, and definitely busy and eventful.
I think one of the more interesting things I’ve discovered doing this weblogging thing is other webloggers. It’s interesting and fun to meet people through their weblogs. Some are very personal and spill out all their guts for the world to see, others less so. And all the variety in weblogs! It feels like you can surf and surf and surf until your modem/router burns out and only just touch the surface of the weblog iceberg. Simply amazing. I love cruising through my list of regular weblogs and finding links to interesting things, or checking out a random weblog at Weblog Review.
I think I’ll hang around the weblogging world a while longer
1st Blogiversary: Today, or tomorrow?
June 23, 2003 I made my first weblog entry, which I think would make it my first blogiversary. But thanks to leap year, today marks the 365th day this weblog has been up and running.
Maybe I’ll celebrate both days.
