What have I been doing with myself for the past seven months and change? Hard to say! Certainly nothing deep and thought-provoking, or I would have chimed in before now. I've been spending time Favorite'ing videos on YouTube {marasu66}. I recently joined Twitter {marasu66} and Facebook {id=1547251291}, but I don't know how long I will keep it up; frankly, they leave me a little cold. I still work at Kennedy Airport for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, but my workload has been reduced. I still watch cartoons, mostly on Nickelodeon, and the local news, but I have been shutting off the national/international news a lot lately-- the discord over Health Care reform hurts my simple mind. I have not read any good books lately, and I have not seen any good movies lately. I have seen museum exhibits recently, but I was basically unmoved by them. I recently started being treated for yet another medical condition. I still have no girlfriend-- not that I'd been trying for one. I still have no offline friends except for my coworkers, who try to be friendly to me, but I just can't seem to return their friendship. Maybe I need to take up meditation?

One of my compact fluorescent bulbs recently burned out-- with a real fire. Fortunately, it was a small fire that didn't damage anything but the bulb, and not so bad that I couldn't remove the bulb. At first, I didn't know what was happening when it went dark except for a little wave of light. Then I smelled the smoke. Is it really supposed to do that?! I was airing my room out for a couple hours, and it was cold that night.

Have some candy! I remembered getting Hopjes coffee candies as a child. And, you know, a child, and coffee? Well, I won't draw you a picture. Instead, I'll just throw on up some wallpaper I found on the web. Have some Hopjes coffee candy!
