“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

Oh here we go, yet again, back to Monday… And, it must be said, a rather gloomy one, where I am. At least the days are getting longer, ever so slowly, and eventually we WILL get back to summer. But, in the meantime, we still have to tolerate days where you go...

Boy, this Monday sure as hell crept up on us pretty damn fast. I swear, it was just yesterday that I was in a different city, walking around and enjoying the mountain views – mostly because it WAS yesterday. Though, to be fair, I did have to do a runner earlier...

There goes the weekend, and bloody hell did it ever zip by quickly. It wasn’t very long ago that I was enjoying a good glass of wine on Friday evening and relaxing, and then Saturday came and went in a blaze of Flood ‘n’ guts as I played HALO 3, and...

Ah, Monday, that great enemy of peace of mind and sound sleep – we meet again. For some of you, this is your second week back at work – for me, it is my first. And I have to say, the novelty wears VERY thin, very quickly. Especially when you have to wake...

Happy New Year, all you magnificent glorious beacons of masculinity! Peace and blessings to you and your families, and let us all look forward to a year of achievements and victories in 2024. This day is somewhat unusual, in the sense that we have the beginning of the...

Before anyway jumps on his high horse and points out the blindingly obvious, yes, of course today is Tuesday, and I am well aware of that fact. This one is deliberately late, and with good reason. Seeing as how yesterday was Christmas, it seems somehow unfitting to...

Monday morning with John Kiriakou

Let’s see: it’s dark and grey outside, I have a list of things to do longer than my arm, yet my motivation to do them is pretty much zero, and there is this rather odd stench of depression and failure in the air whenever I go outside. (This is also known...

7am?!? I should BE so lucky on a Monday morning… I had to wake up at the asscrack of dawn – actually, where I live, the Sun didn’t even have the decency to show the hell UP until something like 0800 – to make my way to a client site. And the...

Monday morning not-working from home

Mondays are pretty awful at the best of times. They are even worse when you have to deal with public transport. And they are just MISERABLE when said public transport is shut down because rail workers are pissed about getting paid quite a lot more than the national...

Monday arrived way too damn fast. I was rather enjoying the weekend – I went skiing, and actually managed not to fall down even once, despite being 6 months out of practice; I had a burger, beer, and fries for the first time in… well, a VERY long time; I...
