Spamming inboxes in a fit of silly boredom.

Trying out some reading glasses and realising that not only is your eyesight failing but you aren't aging quite as well as you fondly imagined because you can now see the first hint of fine lines. Not sure not having to peer at things is compensation enough for that double whammy...

I assign binge-cleaning to Orthanc. The satisfation you feel when you've finally exterminated the gathered dust and grime of months, the guilty knowledge that you might have spared yourself a lot of exertion with only a little regular maintenance, and your realism telling you that you're not bloody likely to act on this commendable insight in the future...

Winning an election on a general level, but loosing on a personal.

The ubiquity of sordid commercials for "Girls Gone Wild" and Extenze.

Wish they were vanished to Orthanc and never unearthed...Don't want to be reminded of my bills!

I assign skiing on a lake, looking down, and realizing that the lake wasn't actually frozen.

Still, it was a beautiful day.
