Book: Survivor

Finished the book Survivorl by Chuck Palahniuk.. It’s about this house cleaner, he cleans the same people’s house full time. Endlessly. His name is Tender Branson.The suicide hotline runs an advertisement and makes a typo. The phone number is Tender Branson’s number instead of the suicide hotline number. People start calling Tender Branson and he advises them to kill themselves. Many of them do. When the mistake is sorted out, and the calls stop coming, Tender gets decals printed; “Need help? Call me!”. He puts them in phone booths and near public telephones. He continues to advise the most desperate to commit suicide.

Tender is supposedly the sole survivor of a religious suicide cult. He then becomes a famous religious icon on TV and media.

Like all of the Chuck Palahniuk’s books I have read, Survivor is full of unbelievablly twisted people. It wasn’t pleasant to read, there was no moral to the story. Nobody in the book was happy. I don’t think I learned anything. There was nothing good in this book, but still, for some inexplicable reason, i recommend you read it.. I gave it four stars on Goodreads.

Cloudy here today. Probably will rain. Have a wonderful day!

Painting Weekend

It was our first long weekend in months. I spent a lot of it painting. Above are pictures of the front porch, not shown is the back porch.

Today is back to work. I think a new boss starts today.

Have a great week!

Pirates Week & a Holiday Weekend

Holiday season is upon us! Monday is a holiday, our first holiday since July I think..

And it’s Pirates Week, I have a costume, not sure I’ll be wearing it tho. I decided I needed a three corner hat to complete my uniform.

We had some rain last night and this morning. I was surprised by the wet ground. It was nice doing my exercise and meditation in the light rain. Hope it doesn’t rain this weekend!

Venus & Moon

This morning the Venus and the moon were very close together. Above is the best of a million shots I took. I couldn’t get what I considered a good shot. But it’s still pretty cool and not bad for a phone camera.(I have a S21)

It’s almost the weekend and I’m glad. Have a great day!

heavier-than-air toxic gas

Last night I was asleep, dreaming about why I couldn’t sleep. I deduced there must be a toxic, heavier-than-air gas in the area that I was sleeping. As I move around, I stir it up, sometimes inhaling it, sometimes not, sometimes mixing it with good air. I decided I was sleeping in some type of bowl and when I woke up I would have to use a fan to blow all the heavier-than-air toxic gas out of the bowl. Then I’d sleep well.

Overall, I woke up thinking I slept well. And according to my tracker, it was one of my best night’s sleep ever. Dreaming about not sleeping was just a dream

Have a wonderful day!

Barely Pink

Its quite dark in the morning now. The above photo is from my roof Sun deck after I finished my exercise and meditation. I remember in the summer it’s light already.

Happy tuesday! I’m drinking coffee ready to go to work.

Hippos In Colombia

There was an article this morning about feral hippopotamuses in Colombia. They are escapee’s from Pablo Escobar’s private zoo in the 1990s. Columbia is apparently a perfect place for hippos to grow, plenty of water and food.

Read the article HERE. Hippos are very dangerous.. Interesting, but not really funny

happy Friday have a great weekend!

Cloudy Thick

it’s a cloudy, thick, humid windy morning here. Lat night I slept with the windows open, thinking of turning on the AC, but it was never that bad.

We had a front move through last night, the sea was rough on the dog walk this morning and hopefully the cooler air will push thru soon

It’s almost Friday, already the weekend seems overbooked.

Have a great day!

Not As Planned

yesterday didn’t turn out at all like I expected it to. I found water dripping in the car park that was coming from the bathroom. I called the plumber and they had to fix a leak.

Crack in the carport ceiling where the water was coming out...

I got done with the plumber just in time to go to the dentist. I thought I was in pretty good shape dental wise, but apparently not. I got to work just in time to go to a meeting.

The the day went by, and I feel like I got very little done.

Now it’s November 1st already, I find that incredible. Every year is indeed getting shorter. Seems like.

Have a wonderful day, unless you’ve already made plans to do otherwise.
