Before… After 16 hours, 5 power supplies and fans, 3 disks, 2 N95 masks and 1 SCSI cable and a RAID controller card…

Day 17 – I had a dream last night. It involved various females. That’s all I’m saying to keep it PG around this Journal, just in case anyone ever reads it. I’ll continue to blow bubbles for the bubble nest. If nothing else, it seems to amuse the two humans endlessly.

Day 14 – Oh how I love this little green plant. I’ve turned it into quite a little bed when I sleep.  There are a couple of upper branches that work out perfectly, so that I don’t have to go too far to the surface to get air.  It’s also fun to swim through.  I’ve [...]

I just heard on the Nightly News that many boys that are less qualified than their female counterparts stand a better chance of getting into many colleges, because the colleges are trying to keep the male / female ratio at 50/50.  The reason, is the MOST asinine I’ve heard. Administrators claim that a 60/40 split, [...]

I remember reading Brave New World by Aldous Huxley in high school. I think I picked it up because I was really into The Doors back then, and I read that they had chosen the band name after reading a quote by Huxley about The Doors of Perception. How I got there doesn’t really matter, [...]

Day 8 – I must have been dreaming yesterday. For a few, brief moments, there were hundreds of blood worms in my tank. That’s right, HUNDREDS. But, sadly, the male captor took most of them away. The female laughed at him while he scooped them out. I also didn’t appreciate the couple of pokes he [...]

It’s time to do a bit of checking in on my 2008 resolutions, and frankly, I’m not quite sure that I’m happy with two of my picks at this point. Healthy Living – Other than the pizza I had yesterday, I’m doing a lot better in this regard. I still have to figure out how [...]

Day 4 – It’s Day 4 here in captivity, although I’m starting to realize that my so called “captors” might actually be my rescuers in a sense. Sure, I’m not in a Taiwanese rice patty, but this place is pretty good.  There’s plenty of food, and there is lots to look at from outside my [...]

Day 2 – I’ve decided to keep a journal of my activities and that of my captors.  One is a large fellow, and very pale.  The other is a thin, tall and beautiful human female, with long dark hair. So far they haven’t been mean, so I’m waiting to pass judgment on them for a [...]

So, my girlfriend and I have a new addition to the household, Charlie the Betta Fish.  Charlie lives in a lime green plastic topped bowl, with lime green rock and a nifty little fake plant.  The good news about Charlie’s home is the lid, which will prevent him from committing suicide like my old Betta, [...]
