“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.”

Mondays are just awful and horrible, especially if you happen to have injured something without knowing quite how – as I did, on Friday night. Seriously, I went to sleep on Friday night feeling fine after a heavy-bag workout, and woke up early on Saturday morning with...

Monday morning with Stupid Seagal

Mondays, as the meme very kindly provided above by our good friend, Dawn Pine, shows off so well, are just plain AWFUL. This one, however, got off to a surprisingly good start, because I was able to figure out a rather good theme for today’s Great Mondaydact...
Monday morning wages of sin

Monday morning wages of sin

Monday is always a pretty terrible day, and it is particularly terrible when things go consistently and persistently wrong. That was certainly the case today, where pretty much everything I did, ended up being late, or off kilter, or just plain messed up. Still and...

Monday morning with giant stompy robots

If you have spent all of Friday around people, and then 3 hours on Saturday with friends, it is probably fair to say that one Sunday off is simply not enough to recharge – not if, like me, you happen to be a cranky introvert who thinks most people are only...

Ah, Monday – that foul-smelling excrescence that we must all endure, just to collect our pay cheque at the end of the month. Life really is too short to worry about one’s alarm clock going off on a Monday and dragging one’s under-caffeinated,...

Monday morning coronation day

Most Mondays really suck, and this one would be no real exception… until one realises that today sees the coronation of His Most Illustrious, Noble, August, Benevolent, and Legendary Celestial Majesty, the God-Emperor of Mankind, Donaldus Triumphus Magnus Astra,...

Ugh. Monday is back again, along with the horrid stink that accompanies it – two parts armpit, one part jockstrap. (This is also known as “eau de Secaucus” – large parts of New Jersey have a permanent “Monday stench” to them, after...

Monday morning Argy-bargy

Well, the holidays were fun while they lasted – which did not feel like anywhere NEAR long enough. That might have to do with the fact that, for me at least, a LARGE part of those holidays coincided with a rather severe (but mercifully short) case of food...
Monday morning Mars Attacks

Monday morning Mars Attacks

Bloody hell, not MONDAY again. The weekend came and went like Taco Bell chalupas – which I have never eaten (I don’t think), I simply know of them by reputation. And now we have the smelly, awful, disgusting aftereffect. Fortunately, that is why we have...

Monday morning vintage video games

Good heavens, what is that awful stench? Oh, right – it’s MONDAY. At least it stopped bloody RAINING, where I am. Other than that, though, it is (or was) still a very dreary and depressing kind of day, especially after the downright crazy events over the...
