#99 I don't believe it

Figures. I started this blog then everything else started going wrong. Let's blame the blog.

I'll delete it on my birthday after post 100 and leave it on a usb key.

I hope you've all enjoyed reading the development of my philosophical ideas. I have decided that free will is unacceptable, until you consider the alternatives. Maybe I did choose. One quiet night brushing my teeth just before bed. Same as any other night really. Only that every day is different.

Now what was the point of all this you may ask? 0. It doesn't matter how many times you roll the dice or play the game. You wind up where you started. You win. You lose. Play again? Continue?

anything>nothing

#16 Storm front approaching

Big stuff coming in next week.

Yep.

I'd better get ready.

Remember, emulation is the greatest form of flattery.

Why are wheelchair ramps so slow? Saftey?


Comm skills went up a little today, along with working memory. Practise helps in all things.

I'd like to learn how to raise my right eyebrow. I can raise the left one just fine, not sure how to work the other one.

#10 Stride

Handwriting skill improved today. Paperwork management, work habits and customer relations skills are also up.

Still working on it all. Hope you're all reading good books :)

Here's a picture of a TV oozing what might be cheese:

It's art Jim but not as we know it.

#8 Time marches on

So well we are, happy and healthy, or hopefully at least so.

Stats update today.

Social is up 10%
Beermat flipping skills levelled up thanks to a successful first attempt at a stack of 10 (asynchronously sized, half aerial turn, fingertip catch, 2 witnesses). Beermat skills now stand at level 4
Hearing took some temporary damage due to all that loud music
Loneliness is on the rise, +1% every hour
Organisational skills are set to rise steadily until the end of the month
Sleepyness is rising steadily, so this post won't last much longer
Dancing abilities rose by 2D6%. Those of you playing at home should roll 2D6 now.
Maturity rose by 1 D10%. Mental age is now estimated at around 19 years.
Despondency caused by the humdrum nature of life rose slightly

Maybe next week I'll post up my alternate zodiac. It should blow traditional astrology out of the water.

#4 There goes my neighbourhood!

Houseflies don't have patios, shoeflies don't have laces and horseflies never whinny. But if they did...

I updated firefox like everyone else and am liking it so far. Not sure I approve of the past links thing. It seems my computer knows more about me than I do!

Anyways, my snarled up thumb is healing nicely, the midge bites have nearly stop itching and there are 2 days of summer left. And I never did have that BBQ. Ahh, large quantities of flame-throwered meat. Maybe next year.

Stats have changed as follows
Depression is up from 10% to 13% because I won't be at electric picnic (the annual music festival). Bad social planning mostly to blame here. And a complete lack of funds, though that's being addressed.

I.T. savvy is up a few more points due to my sucessful installing of windows 98 under virtual PC. I was actually trying to get Dungeon Keeper to run again with no success. The same endevour sees self worth drop a point because I still can't get the thing working. Disappointment also sees a moderate increase of 7%. Overall mood now stands at 80% (where 50% is the middle of the scale), falling slowly.

Mood may well continue to drop until I get over my game cravings. It is unlikely to occur having been an addict for so long. Probably one of the negative aspects of the gamer character trait.

Mood is now around 65%, (yeah, it flucuates fast) so even though my perceived sleepiness stat is low, actual sleepiness, established habit, cultural norm and societal expectation mean a high likelihood of sleep.

Current philosophical bent: genetical custodians.
Long term objectives: gather resources to satisfy needs as defined by Maslow and others;
contribute to the discovery of nuclear fusion.
Maudlin thought: 15 years of childhood and only a videogame collection to show for it.
Mid term objectives: Meet new people (oh the horror! A technocrat otaku meeting new people!)[mood rose 8%]
Short term objectives: Consider human behaviour and evaluate existing lexography to determine if it can be defined succintly.
