I'm alive....

Just slept for about 9 hours. I hope that I can shake this bug off so that I don't lose the long weekend.

Poking around on LJ now.

A couple of days ago, I saw the link to the Technosphere on patricks journal. I created creatures: a carnivore named Mania and an herbivore named Voyageur. So far, they're both still alive. Mania is rather boring, but Voyageur keeps getting hunted and escaping. Kind of fun to check up on them.

This was a rambling entry, wasn't it?

Pirate name

Took the pirate name test that's been floating around:

Your pirate name is Black Anne Kidd.

Like anyone confronted with the harshness of robbery on the high seas, you can be pessimistic at times. Even though you're not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr!

Can you tell that I'm bored? -;)

Yes, I'm still up

A uBid auction with a humorous description:

22-pc Screwdriver Set (Black Handle)

Here are 22 of what is arguably the most important tool of our time, the screwdriver. Each steel shaft is polished to an individual lustre so that, when grouped symmetrically, seem to gleam in a chorus of anticipation, each humbly and eagerly awaiting the call to duty, the happy privilege of turning a screw. Hardened-plastic, impact-ignoring handles sport a traditional yet naturally ergonomically perfect design that has not seen nor needed marked improvement since the Industrial Revolution. The selection of 22 screwdrivers offered here vary from stubby and compact to long and drawn out. You see, the American Household as an institution just wouldn’t exude the character for which it stands so renowned if its members could find the correct screwdriver they need right when they need it. That’s why one of the basic tenets of our society is that you can never have enough screwdrivers. It’s not exactly spelled out in The Constitution, but that document was written before the invention of the screw, much less the screwdriver, despite the countless inventions and innovations of Founding Father, Ben Franklin. So, it wouldn’t hurt to add 22 more screwdrivers to your collection. A set like this makes a fantastic gift and may even seem like a hoard, even overkill to the lucky giftee. That is until he or she needs it right then and there and can’t find it. Of course, one would think that a certain number of screwdrivers under one roof would guarantee immediate, quick and easy access. Researchers have not yet determined that number.
