So I crawled out of bed, skipped the part where practical but possibly inconsiderate people look for the light switch, relieved the laptop (who goes by the name Črtomir and doesn’t complain much on working overtime) of all unnecessary cables, fished the glasses from the working mess on the table and climbed back under the warm duvet [1]. And promptly lost the always endangered biopticon [2] somewhere between the sheets. Not a good idea, when you’re trying very hard not to wake up your roommate during a nightly writing session. When I reached the stage where I had to type the password, I was very grateful to myself for learning touch typing. Useful skill, indeed.

As always when I plan a good hot-blooded rant, by the time the product seems satisfactory not much is left and I’m at peace with the world again, laughing at myself. But for the sake of it, without head or tail, here are the remains before the final stage:

In the past week I was moody enough to ignore the blog just because I could, though it is true that there was a lot going on. Too much, maybe, since the motto “be kind at me, I’ll be kind right back at you” (‘at’ is intentional) has evolved in interesting directions. Is it the food, the weather or the people, I have no idea. Could be that Italian/Spanish temperament is contagious.

Much ado about nothing really. Though the general feeling will probably still hide in some corner tomorrow, it’s out of the system now. Aware that this might have some people worried and at the same time confident in my ability to convince them otherwise, I’m publishing this post (urged on by Črtomir, who needs some electric juice).

[1] While searching for this word, which was right on the tip of my tongue, I found this interesting collection of things one can find and do in the bedroom. Or it might be just me.

[2] I had my suspicions, but I certainly did not expect the term Geek Chic in Wikipedia.

P.S.: How come I never before noticed that Firefox has this neat way of switching between tabs with the up and down arrows? I must be getting old :-) .
