Is it me?

…Or does anyone else have difficulties with that word authentication thingummyjig that you have to enter in order to post in some comment and message boxes? In at least 999 cases out of 1,000 I have to re-enter the blo wretched thing at least once. Is it because I’m stupid, or cross-eyed, or old, or a crap typist? Perhaps a combination of all the above, I dunno. Anyhow, I can see why it’s needed, what with all the spam and viruses out there in cyberspace. I do better with the “sum of x,y” one, so long as both x and y are under 10 (because I’m virtually innumerate, lol!).

You may remember that I wrote about coincidences in a previous posting. Well, I’ve had more since, which is what I was going to blog about when I wrote “Not the Blog I Had Intended for Today” (which I’ve now forgotten, lol!) but I’ve had two more tonight:

1. One of my friends on my MySpace page (warning: serious name-dropping coming up), who is a Very Famous Singer/Songwriter, writes a “Today’s Word” bulletin from time to time (today’s is Fletcherize, check it out, it’s interesting) and I sent her a message about it, to which she replied and we got into a nice little discussion. Anyhow, after that, the first place I go is to Luxor’s blog and lo! What do I find? He’s done a blog about a word too! “Stimuluxis”, what a cracking word that is and what super duper pictures of Lux playing with his pyramid, they made me go all squishy and “aaaawwwww”-y. Check out Indiana’s music too, I think she’s very good (and I’m not just saying that coz you said you enjoy reading my blogs Indi, seriously!).

2. A bit later I went to Kate and Puddy’s blog and what did I find? Pictures of food. To be specific, fish and chips, chicken nuggets and chips and calamari and chips. The coincidence? Well, I’d just realised that I was feeling hungry and that I had forgotten to eat all day (I do this quite a lot, lol!) so, mouth watering, I grabbed my empty coffee mug, went downstairs, made a cup of coffee and devoured the half pizza I had left over from yesterday. It didn’t quite have the je ne se qua that fish and chips would have had, but you know, it filled a gap.

Have a great Monday everykitty and bean. I’m looking forward to seeing Brainball’s first Mancat Monday, yay! Oh wait, I’ve just been there and he and Chairman Mao have already posted their Mancat Mondays. Super duper they are too!
