The Socialist and I are off for a few days of well-earned recreation. I’ll be MIA for at least three days, maybe more. I anticipate coming home to three very indignant kitties, but their sitter dotes on them. Even if they are indignant, I’m not going to take it too seriously. The sitter is entranced…

I make poor assumptions, including the fact that my diary is so fascinating that anyone who stumbles across it will be compelled to read it from start to finish. By way of background, I live in an apartment. There are no water connections outside. There are no electrical outlets outside. There are only cherries outside….

My office paper shredder is small, the economy model of economy models. More than three pieces of paper at a time risks a jam. Six pieces of paper at a time ensures one. So by twos and threes I feed my professional life from 1999 through 2001 into the confetti maker. The paper is mostly…

I can’t contact them without giving them a valid address on me as well as some limited other information on myself. And if you read their little set of bylaws, they say they don’t promise to take any action if you do contact them. You’ll have to prove in some way that you are the…

I was checking my site meter yesterday, as I am prone to do when I’m bored and feel like poking around a bit, when I found this URL in the visit detail section as one a referral page: http://www.blogshares.com/blogs.php?blog=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.deardiary.org%2Fcgi-bin%2Fviewer.pl%3Fdiary%3D12117%26entry%3D10861344 Am I the only one who has never heard of “BlogShares” before? As near as I…
