“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.”

It’s Monday, and normally, that would result in a veritable torrent of exquisitely foul and nasty swear words – in Russian, no less – from yours truly. (Actually, if you really want to master the art of swearing, you need to do it in Bulgarian. They...

Monday morning yippee-ki-yays

Ah, Monday, the great enemy of happiness and frivolity (and sleep). We meet again, as we inevitably must. And, honestly, this weekend really was way too damned short. I spent most of it absolutely exhausted from accumulated stress and physical wear-and-tear –...

Good Lord, what a horrible day Monday is. It is especially horrible when you’re up against a tight deadline and you have a redonkulous amount of work to do on a major report. And that doesn’t give you a break from all of the other stuff that you have to do...

Well, better late than never, eh, lads? I know it’s not really a “Monday” post at this point, because for most of my Yankee heathen rebel colonist readers, it’s basically the evening and nobody gives a crap, but I’ve had a hell of a busy...

As weekends go, this past one was pretty bad. I spent it feeling lost, depressed, and deeply worried about the fact that Russia’s war in Ukraine – that’s what it is, it isn’t a “special operation”, it’s a full-fledged war...

Monday morning slytherin to the week

It’s been a long, dreary, and difficult day today. Out where I am, we’ve had massive storms hitting us for the last week, and as a result, the dog park outside my window is basically a mud-pool with its own slip-‘n’-slide. On top of that, I had...

Eugh. Here we go again. Monday – what a miserable day. And it’s ESPECIALLY miserable today, because this is of course February 14th, which most people recognise as “Valentine’s Day”. This is the day on which romance essentially dies and...

Ugh. Monday again. That weekend DEFINITELY went by way too fast. Admittedly, given how atrocious the weather was this weekend, I can’t say I’m complaining too much. Going to the gym on Saturday to do my kickboxing workout, I wondered why I’d even...

That weekend went by pretty bloody fast, didn’t it? And now we find ourselves confronted by the great and terrible horror that is Monday. But, as ever, the Great Mondaydact Browser Cruncher is here to make it all better – or, at least, a little more...
Monday morning like a bat outta hell

Monday morning like a bat outta hell

Here we go again. Monday – and what a dreary day it is today. I’ve already had to deal with incompetence, confusion, and general cock-ups, and I haven’t even had my second cup of coffee yet. Days like this are just the cherry on top of a crap-sundae...
