Signs

It never pays to ignore signs, does it?  And I'm not just talking about the ones that say "No parking here, unless you want your car to be horribly crushed from above by a grand piano" or "Do not press this button.  I’m serious.  THIS MEANS YOU".  There are more subtle signs out there and I've been noticing one or two.

For instance, when you receive your weekly email from Borders and squee with delight to discover that this week’s voucher is offering you twenty-five percent off manga, what should you do?  Ignore it?  Or take as a sign from above that you should go out and buy copious amounts of manga?  Right now.  Or at least before the voucher expires.

Unsurprisingly, I went with the second option.  That’s one of those signs I have no intention of ignoring.  (Although I substituted “four volumes” for “copious amounts”.  I’m not made of money, alas.)

The other sign that’s bugging me at the moment is coming from my computer.  It’s getting on, is my old desktop.  Well, it’s three and a half years old.  Once upon a time, it was a sprightly young thing that exploded with energy and jumped up and down, eager to do what it was told.  Now, I think it’s turning into a teenager.  It’s surly and disobedient.  If it actually does decide to do what I ask of it, then it does it in its own good time.  Or never.  Whichever comes last.  It has trouble waking up.  I open Firefox and five minutes later, it appears.  It tells me I’m doing things I’m not and refuses to listen to what I have to say.

It can’t concentrate on more than one thing at a time and it wanders off from those things when it loses interest in them.

It sleeps in.

For hours.

It also stays up late for hours, but that’s my fault.  What’s the point of going to bed before midnight when you’re on holidays?  Well, unless you've fallen asleep on the keyboard first, I suppose.

In short, I think today might be the day to do the most thorough backup of files known to Bunne-kind.

After I finish drooling over my manga, of course.
