A note

 Huh, they finally deleted my original blogspot account, which I made in 2000, set up a blog, made a single post, and promptly lost the password for. Good-bye maske.blogspot.com, we barely knew ye.

Anyway, watching youtubes lately. I pick only the most relaxing ones - a girl living in Nigeria on her own, a couple of Japanese girls in Japan doing the same, this Chinese-American dude from New York who travels all over the place (he's currently in Taiwan) and films his wanderings, some typewriter ones, some fountain pen ones, a few "lofi hiphop" things that are for mellowing out totally. 

Twitter, er, X, is about to beome an eX-website. I just feel it. I'm enjoying shitpoasting on there, but it's also pretty grim. A long time member with a lot of health and poverty problems just died a few days ago. I didn't follow them but their tweet.. posts appeared on my tl for years because lots of other people I followed did. Grim. And E*** just loves n*zis, they are all over the site, and AI insanity is infesting the place like some sort of internet dementia. Soon it will be gone. Can't say I'll be really sad.

The Perpetually Temporary Blog Re-Activated For Now

Kind of a maddening day today. Went hither and yon, attempting to do some "shopping" or at least some looking for stuff. I accomplished a bit of it, but nowhere near to my satisfaction. Of course, it's "Black Friday" weekend, and there are supposed to be hordes of crazed bargain hunters. Honestly though traffic was a little up yesterday I didn't see much of a difference. Portsmouth isn't exactly a hopping metropolis, maybe it was crazier over in Norfolk or Virginia Beach. And people here don't have loads of money and everything is overpriced... I did buy a lamp that has a little attached table for my "reading area" that is mostly Nikki's luxury sleeping area. (It's an armchair currently covered with fuzzy throws. I mostly sprawl on the couch watching videos.) I have still not decided where to put my home blog. I have all that space on Hosting Matters, or what was Hosting Matters, it's actually under the management of a Canadian ...

Bad News

I got some bad news the other day. One of my old blogger friends, someone I met back when blogs were a slightly bigger fish in a slightly smaller pond, died of injuries from a car accident. Charles  was a really nice guy. I only met him in person once, on one of his "world tours" (long road trips) that he used to take before he got badly injured in a fall. He came down to where I was mildly rotting in Orlando (when I had no car and was living in the "nice" apartment in Altamonte Springs that turned out to be not quite so nice and had mosquitoes in it) and we had brunch at Denny's and chatted about I don't remember what. Other blogs, the state of the world, etc. I doubt I was a sparkling conversationalist. I never saw him in person again -- Oklahoma City is a long way away from Florida and Virginia, where I eventually moved, even after I had a car. And there was no money, no time... He knew a lot about pop music, and once helped me find a CD by an obscure go...
