Or: My Life As a Blackhole.

But just for socks and technology.

So I don’t even know what’s happening anymore.

I’m running out of socks.

And all of the technology around me is imploding.

My phone stopped being able to allow phone calls to happen. I mean I could make them and receive them, but the phone wouldn’t allow sound to come in. Not even through the car or my headphones.

But I could listen to music on my headphones and in the car.

Even through the built-in speaker.

So I got a loaner phone from work. And spent the first half of my day getting it set up and working.

Then work called and said my phone was fixed.

That was fast!

So I spent my afternoon resetting up my phone.

Only to have my watch not sync up to it.

Thereby forcing me to wipe and reinstall my watch.

Which lost ALL of the data it has collected since May.

And then the website made me rebuild most of the gallery again.

I’m this close (_) to throwing the Country A-K section out into the middle of the street and going to work at Tower Records.

Luckily, the analog world sent me a little pat on the back in the form of an iron-on patch for my studio apron…

Thursday, December 20

I took it as a sign that I’m spending too much time staring at a screen and need to be spending more time looking at my studio.

Thank you White Jesus for sending me this sign.

Now if only I can figure out the hidden meaning of my socks blowing out, I’ll be back in the groove of things.

So, in addition to all that fun time spent trying to get technology to do its coddamn job, I still had to do normal Thursday stuff.

Which I did.

And I even had lunch with Babbylon Tim and got all caught up on what’s going on with him.

Then Jitterbug got me to be less of a grump and I snuggled up with her to read comics until it was time for me to go to bed.

Today is Friday.

Mostly normal errands on the books today.

I think JB is dragging me to a social gathering this evening. Luckily there’ll be other anti-social curmudgeons there for my to sit against the wall and grumble with.

I think I’m treating myself to sushi for lunch as well.

Because eels are delicious.

See ya’ tomorrow.

More soon. ~SC
