Yeah, okay, no tv yet.

I have been... holding back regarding ordering a television. Why? Who knows how long it would take to actually arrive, how much more it would cost, and some other things. I have some options. If I do not like them, they are better in the short and long run. I have been hanging on that all day, and exhaustion. I have been fighting that along with the uncertainty regarding a tv. I have had to take two naps. I have done other things though. I am down to one bill left. And that only because I did not go into town today.

As the day cools, I will be back in moving mode. The bed arrives tomorrow, there is no more time. It will be done, and more. It is all good. Today would usually be an off day. I feel like it is worse than usual though I think it only feels that way as I have so much I want to do. A normal off day is frustrating, but I have learned to accept it for now (trying to get beyond it as a next step). On those days I have to do things on my off day though, it is a horrid impediment. It does go to show me that this 'failing' probably is biomechanical, biochemical, or something. In other words, I am not just lazy. I need to be reminded some times if I also need to be reminded that I can be lazy. *poke* *poke*

Okies, some more links. I like these linky dinky things. More and more, as it turns out. They add content, shorten my post at point of contact, and provide lots of fun. Plus, I can comment on these in a place where it makes sense. Some sites have 50 to 300 comments... Yeah, not going to bother usually. Fire and forget is as good as that gets. But here I can swim.

I have been trying to go without ac here. And, as a fact, I do not have anything but a ceiling fan. This will change. For now, it is what I have and I have been too busy to mess with more. I can, actually, live without it. At least if I am willing to set aside normal business scheduling and model my life around the cool, sort of. Most cannot do that. Simply put though, I do not wish to do so. However, what I do or do not do should have nothing to do with others. And it certainly should be of no import to some city twit who knows nothing but hate for those who are conservative, live in hot locals, or want to be functional as a nation, world super power, or industrially progressive center. What do you think has allowed him to become what he is? Well, actually, that is the only argument for what he suggests, and the one argument against AC he does not offer. Go figure. If he likes no AC, might I suggest one of many fine S. American nations. He will find why sloth of heat is not such a great thing. May he enjoy the mosquitoes and diseases from impure water while he is at it!

Ah, the religion of peace. Between their benevolence to their own, their open mind to the human conditions and all the frailties wrought thereabouts, and the wonderful legal system it provides, is a little article which might seem quite insignificant compared to what others provide their viewers. It is in the seeming insignificance that I find the heart of the matter. One of my favorites, from the real side is... what you do to the least of these, you do also to me.

Oh, I do not always like my comments. Often they are fire and forget. At sites where there are reasonable numbers of other responses and occasional feedback, I will go back and look. Every once in a while, I look and say, "I did that!". Well, this is one of them. I do not know if a weird muse attacks my neural network and takes over, if I go through a tickled pink moment, or what, but it happens. Short and sweet, to me. Like it or not, damn you. I do. I cannot remember if I like Chuck or not, though I know he shoots it as he sees it. That left my fingers and the enter button was hit before I knew what I was doing.

This article, by Vox, has me scratching my head. I do see the potential for gains in the midterm, though I am dubious about an actual changing of the guard. I do not see Republicans of any stripe taking back Congress, the Senate is way out I think. But this lends to some hope. I cannot remember how well Vox predictions weather fact. I do remain dubious. And, further, doubt if much would change even so. Republicans, and really all politicians, are weak kneed populists who read the news papers for popular opinion (and praise, which they crave). I would love to be proven wrong on both scores, but I am not holding my breath.

My name, Doom, is not just this or that, but it is a way of life in a way. When I walk outside at night, I do not become lost in the night, I become the night or even absorb it. And yet that darkness is not a thing of shame or harm or depression, necessarily. I just see things from perspectives others often cannot or will not. I do not pout about it or shout about it. If I shout, it is about someone's absolute refusal to see the dark of night clearly before them. *grins*

Anyway, that is it for now. Time for more boxes.
