Acting Up

My musings, thoughts, rants, and discoveries. - Scott Maddock

Back to Blogging


I haven't blogged here since 2012. Why am I making a stab at it again?

I realized two things about social media I wanted to get away from. First was that I was often using it as a journal, which is boring and maybe TMI for those platforms. Secondly I was using it too much for my taste, so that I felt like a tool for marketers rather than using social media as a tool for my ends.

Got It

I was tagged by Ric Knight (see left margin), so I used his citing format.

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123
3. Find the fifth sentence
4. Post the text of the next 3 sentences on your blog along with these instructions

Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest, then tag three people.

Consider yourself tagged, if you want to.
==================================================

Stoppard, Tom. 1993. The Real Inspector Hound and Other Plays. Grove Press. ISBN 0802135617.
BERNARD: I imagine that good farming land would be premium in North London. Is he prosperous?
ARTHUR: He has an income of £10.50 per week.
BERNARD: Hardly a pillar of the community, even with free milk and eggs.
==================================================
It took a while to find the pound symbol, and I hope it displays correctly in most places.

I ordered several scripts, and the one above happened to be on my desk, by my right elbow when I read Ric's blog, as I have deliveries sent to my work address. That avoids having to find time during the day to go pick things up.

It took me a few days to get it on my site, as I was tagged with a bug (cold or mild flu) first. I'm feeling mostly recovered, though my appetite is still off. Even without a bit of intestinal discomfort I lost ten pounds since Thursday. I know most of it will come back when I eat enough food to keep my system churning, but it is a cheap thrill just the same. My changed diet over the last four weeks or so has helped me to drop fifteen pounds. It does feel good to say I've lost twenty-five pounds, so I hope this fast driven loss the last few days is a preview of things to come, or rather go away.
