The sloth

I had never seen one before, and then I just clicked on the link and watched this horrible creature crawling slowly across the road, it was disgusting, like something out of a horror film, it looked subhuman, like a dirty outcast of the living world.

And I had to keep looking at pictures. The sloth in the box, like some down and out, a foul being just lurking, scavenging.

These images stayed with me all day.

El amor en los tiempos del cólera

Y aquí estoy de nuevo, tecleando en mi cama, pero esta vez lo hago en castellano. Por casualidad, leí el título del libro y entré en un mundo de español, me olvidé completamente de lo que había en mi mente inglesa, y empecé a inventar nuevos sentidos en castellano.

Y ahora, pongo el nuevo título de Burial, que suena fea en mi computadora. Antes lo escuchaba con mi cádena de puta madre y sonaba magistral. Dirty Mackin Boys & Goldie Gold - Dirty Mackin suena bien en la computadora, pues lo escucho.

Rational reactions

They looked at me as if I was mad when I told them about my irrational fear of small islands. But I'd already told them to expect something irrational, which surely meant that I was sane enough myself to appreciate the insanity. So why were they looking at me like I was mad? Wasn't that an irrational response? Or was it rational?

Incoming Call

The world faded out: all of the sounds became muted and the lights dimmed slowly. The portal into another world came to life. Just like that, I found myself transported.

the need for fabric

Pip is cool, but it can't cover everything. So I use Fabric in as the master controller. They work well together!

Not so valid.

"28 Errors, 51 warning(s)" for a Microsoft Expression page. Par. And they want you to install Silverlight too.

It's really not that difficult to write valid markup.

Toe tally mull oshed

Toe tally mull oshed is how I feel after the whiskey and the weed, or the whisky and the weed, the text message comes and I lose all sense of reality as I respond. Whiskey - Irish, Whisky = Scottish.
