is just cool.

That is all.

Honya budo is the martial arts skill of visiting a bookstore without buying a book. It is an arcane art, practiced by secret masters in obscure parts of the world for several centuries. During the 20th century, when literacy went up in the western world, and people from every social strata started frequenting shops selling books, this venerable art has begun to rise in popularity.

So, yesterday we indulged in mass "being-back-at-home", which mainly involved checking out the TV show "Dexter".

Wibble, Flibble, Squiggle, Snarch!!!!

Thank whatever power(s) that be that I'd grabbed as much as I could could as we literally couldn't stop till we were done and it was a natural story break.

This show is excellent peoples. Watch it!

Let's see, there were short stories, then there were drabbles (sometimes 100, sometimes other small numbers)

and now we have the ultra-short stories (ala Hemingway and via Wired).

Read. Laugh. Cry. Wonder. Be Amazed!

So auckland. Don't we just need one.

So I've spoken a bit about colonial_babe and our scary awesome relationship, but I haven't spoken a lot about CB herself. Well it's not really my place, except as to how she affects me (which is most cool making in and of itself).

but now there are some things you need to know. CB has lost both her parents and has a brother who lives here is NZ now. Adn then the next family member she feels closest to is her Gran who lives in Johannesburg, South Africa and is 85.

On Wednesday night she heard that her Gran had gone into hospital with breathing difficulties, encouraging news last night and then this morning we find out that she's not eating and seems to be giving up.

So now we're going to Johannesburg next week so that CB can see her Gran, possibly for the last time, and I'm going to be support and meet some family and because I want to.

It's amazing how rapidly you can get organised to travel across the world when you decide you need to!

Thoughts and fears, assumptions and tears,
all running around my brain

Worries and doubts, escapes and routes,
not wanting the easy way out

with thoughts all a blur and emotions unsure,
knowing the way is the hardest thing to say

but choosing makes all simply true.
(But not the easiest thing to do)

Remember the debate over the beginning of the millenium and how all the party organisers got it wrong.

Well, here is a smaller, even simpler but similar error.

In fact, there has to be at least 72 (or possibly even 144) different instants that will fulfill this textual pattern (or an essentially similar one)

> What's a KPI?

A KPI or KayPie is a cute little pet that lives in offices, Managers
spend their days borely trying to find them and Employee's do what they
can to avoid them (they bite if provoked).

I am told they are about 4 inches high and covered in bright blue fur.
They only bite employee's so try and get into management to avoid the
bite which injects a flamable venom. People have been known to be
completely fired from the bite of a KayPie.
