“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.”

Bloody hell, not Monday AGAIN. Honestly, they really suck in general, but this one sucks harder than a vacuum cleaner, because I’ve managed to catch a cold from somewhere. (I blame the idiots in the gym who never, ever wipe down the barbells. Assholes.)...

Oh balls, not another Monday. The holidays are well and truly over for me, sadly – I landed back to Earth with a very solid bump the other day, and over the last few days I have spent rather more time than was strictly healthy in contemplating just how much shit...

Monday = Suckage. It’s an equation with no known loopholes or exceptions. And of course, if you have to shuffle off to work today, it’s about 100x worse than normal. I am very happy to report that I don’t have to do that until next week, when I...

Monday. WTF, man. And this one is worse than most, because the place where I’m staying has a very wonky bed. As a result, I have severe lower backache, which makes my usually delightful temperament even more… SUNNY than usual. It’s just a good thing...

Well, there goes that weekend – in my case, it zipped by in a haze of espresso and red wine, plus the strobe-light-and-pop-music delirium induced from a shopping mall gaming arcade. (Long story. Don’t ask.) And now we’re back to Monday, which…...

Well, that escalated quickly… It seemed like just yesterday we were all enjoying a bit of time off from the craziness of the world around us, and yet here we are again today, back to “normal” – whatever that means in a world built on lies, that...

It is Monday again, and where I am, the summer weather has FINALLY woken up and realised that it is, in fact, time for the Sun to shine and temperatures to rise. This, after many weeks of weather that ranged from mild to miserable. We’ve got one last gasp of...

Monday. WTF. Not again. Especially not THIS Monday. Over where I am, it’s a public holiday, but for whatever reason, the city authorities have decided to turn the centre of the city into an LGBTQWTFISTHISSHIT bacchanalia for the whole of the long weekend,...

Mondays. Don’t you just love ’em? Mine has been quite rough already, mostly due to the, uh, “joys” of dealing with a wide variety of government- and corporate-related stupidity. But I’m happy to report that this will not be quite so big a...

Tell me why I hate Mondays? Actually, don’t bother – I don’t care much for Bob Geldof and his Left-wing luvvie politics and so on. That said, I don’t much care for Mondays either. They STINK, no matter how you want to look at it. But that, of...
