Boring day-by-day news from my equally boring life.

If you were directed here...
...it means that a) you're on my msn list and b) you cared enough to come to this page. And since you cared, I'm going to offer up an explanation in a very self-centric manner of why you're here.
I'm going on a Messenger-free diet for all but a few hours a week. Where those hours fall, and how many they are, will no doubt differ each time. I make no promises. Why would I do this? Don't even think it's because I don't want to talk to you. Don't be selfish - it's my blog, so I get to be the selfish one.
For years I've spent the vastly hugely grossly overwhelming majority of my time in front of a screen, and about 99% of that time the screen has belonged to a computer. All my jobs have had me on a computer. School has me on a computer. 8 or more hours on the computer a day, and growing. My nights can be summarized as follows - get home from school, sign on msn, open a window full of programming code, and sit unmoving for 5 hours, save for dinner and washroom breaks.
My back is suffering; I don't want scoliosis (my mom's medical condition of choice to describe the future of my back). Studies will show that I am putting my eyes on the fast track to glaucoma, and its friend, blindness. I feel my time and energy could be better spent if I had less 7-msn-window nights, and instead truly valuable, one-on-one conversations like before the days of the internet.
I'll be on the computer for fun when I want to be. So please, feel free to call me. I'm not that great on the phone, and at one time I found it much more awkward than a keyboard, but now I'm aching for a change of some kind to try to get the motivation to do other things, motivation that I've lost.
