The Cartoonist

Wednesday, June 18, 2003

Hey! A whole weekend without a computer! No blogging; no email; no web! That means I could read some more books. Watch telly. Call some friends - on the phone! Or even visit them. Tidy up my studio. Do this and do that. I believe I'm dying ... Help! I'm already having withdrawal symptoms! I'm getting depressed!! 7:25:55 PM     |

Wot?! Just switched on my Mac and no fuzzy and distorted screen? This machine is driving me mad. Anyway, they're going to pick it up tomorrow and I'll have it back 'in a few days'. That means probably a fortnight. Of course it takes long opening up the machine, replacing a cable and screwing it back together again. Hope to see you all back soon. Or shall I do the Scott: "Last entry. For God's sake, look after our people"? Nah, I won't do that. Depends on Apple. I can always get a Dell, you know. Or a Pet 2001. Now that was a proper computer. Enough of this. Bye. 7:17:30 PM     |

Dammit! Apple was supposed to pick up my machine tomorrow. They just rang, telling me they won't be able to do so, because they have no packaging material to wrap around the precious computer. I don't believe it. No idea when I'll be able to blog again. There is no justice in this world. Hey: Just pretend today, tomorrow and the rest of the week is Bloomsday and then read all the articles below over and over again. Yuk, my eyes hurt. Noise on my screen. I'll better go and watch TV. 9:12:05 PM     |

Now I really have to ring up Apple. My eMac is behaving badly again. 'Raster Shift' problems. Got to get it fixed. 6:48:55 AM     |

Tactical Manoeuvres. This is your Bishop Information Minister speaking. Tomorrow is Bloomsday. The foolish person known as The Cartoonist has to work tomorrow, so he won't be able to post any new items. So it's down to me. And herewith I'm declaring the day today as Bloomsday! Joyce got it all wrong. Bloomsday is the 15th, not the 16th. This is your Bishop speaking. 8:32:11 PM     |
