Keep On Turnin'

Ah, karma.

You're a bitch. And a queen.

Allow me to complain and pay tribute.

End of summer was one giant shitshow for me and mine. Hopefully what 2008 has left to offer turns it around. To get things started, I begin a new job in a few hours. Last time I worked in Toronto was oh, nigh on 12 years ago, and then it was on worlds and creatures that now populate the novel I'm struggling to finish.

This time it's for a client that was my bread and butter when I first put words to screen for that same novel (i.e. more than one circle is closed today). It's yet another reminder - and my only consolation, at the moment - that the wheel does turn. Madame Karma remembers, and rewards or punishes as she sees fit.

I've had my share of both.

And, nuff respek to CCR for the title of this post, but I leave it to songstress Alison Goldfrapp (whom I didn't see perform last night), to bring 'er home:

"Everything comes around
Bringing us back again
Here is where we start
And where we end."

  • No, I'm pretty sure it's just a bitch.

  • A cynical Sagittarian? Impossible.

    Actually, I'm sliding toward jaded myself.

    Must. Resist. Bitterness.

  • What is 'Ckl'?

  • Translation:

    Ckl = chuckle.

    Was created for the sole purpose of letting people know that you're amused with something, and a true geek, considering that you've spent enough time online to learn what CKL (and possibly ROFL, too) means.

  • I do know ROFL; otherwise I might not have the right to call this place Mini Nerd anymore.

    Thanks for learnin' me, True Geek.

    -S.
