Miscellany!

Saturday 11:40 p.m.
After meditating for most of the day, I've just finished watching a movie with the kiddo. No Dom Bliss in attendance so I kept the noise blockers off. Just great bliss arising anyway. It's that time at night again and I wasn't drinking beer. It's so wonderful the way it just came in with the wriggly bit. I should really sit up tonight and crack on.

I love getting a present at this time of year from the kiddo. This time I got a poster/calender with all kinds of photies of the Samye Ling on it and me as well, sitting in the back temple. What a wonderful present! Kind of laminated by some computery firm. I was so pleased. She'll start meditating some day, so she will!

The Dom Bliss got me many things, including a mobile phone. This would require reading some instructions .... hmmm ... and they give you cancer. I heated a cup of coffee in the microwave oven last week. That's quite enough technology for one year. I'll keep it for when I'm holed up in the hut and it turns into Fort Apache, and I have to get beamed up.

I decided that if I didn't get a positive from the secret agent about xxTheRealMcCoyxxx before Christmas, then it wasn't going to happen. By now he'll have had about eight rejections and that's more than I would have stuck with it for. Anyway, I got another idea for the crime book. A plot development! I think I might have a storyline here.

Because the kiddo has got the disease, we couldn't go visiting today. Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah! This has been a great Christmas. I've hardly noticed it.

I didn't know the noise blockers were against the DB. Is that why they call decibels dBs?

I wear mine when I'm cooking, since that's when the bliss partner decides to practice the greek plate smashing.

Your mobile may have a hands-free setting so you don't have to fry your head, but you'd have to read the manaual ...

Albert? I meditate all the time. I don't have time to read manuals. Tell your partner to start meditating as all that acting out is too exhausting! Hotboy

So your DB got you an electronic leash. Perhaps she is feeling neglected?

Personally I think cell phones are one of the world's dumb ideas in action. Very few people in this world need to be found 24/7. I sure don't.

I keep one in the car in case I break down. The problem being that it tends to die of a dead battery before ever being used. One of these days I'm going to take the hammer to it, just for the fun of smashing it.

Marie! It's staying in the box! I'll bring it out at the end of the world, and it won't work. Hotboy

You could give it to the wean or one of her cohorts.

Albert? I suppose you give away all your presents a couple of days after Christmas? Dearie me. Hotboy

I say!

There are more mobile phones in Katanga than anywhere else that's the same size apart from most places in China and Esthonia. Now you'll be able to trade blood diamonds with the locals.

Remember to always run out of battery when you go to the pub. That helps a lot.

I save money by only using mine for texts, and save electricity by only switching it on when I'm expectiing a text, several times a year.
