World Donkey Day advice
World Donkey Day advice:
If a donkey asks you to kiss him, claiming he is an enchanted prince?
He’s probably just another talking donkey.
Baby, it’s…
I am now working on a story “Baby, It’s… No. Sorry. Not You. It’s Someone Else. Are You Still Here? Why Are You Still Here?”
Actually, that’s probably the whole story right there, right in the title. The End.

Unfamiliar little sounds
Occasionally I will hear an unfamiliar little sound come from my computer. I like to think it’s the sound effect from some unseen beneficent spirit bestowing a blessing on me, but if it IS that, I remain unaware as to the nature of the specific benefit I have received.
It COULD be something the beneficent spirit has averted, like an asteroid that was supposed to come down on my head or something. Or it could just be the sound notifying me of an incoming e-mail or instant message.
