From the Devil's Workshop: Boring Buttons

You know, today started off as a "productive" day for me. I woke up at 9.40am, which is extremely early by my slothful standards. Yeah, waking up that early kind of categorised me as a "productive" person, so heck, it was meant to be a productive day. But...

...I found out that my early morning interview had been postponed to Monday morn, so I ended up getting stuck here in front of my PC.

That saying about "an idle mind is the Devil's workshop". It's true you know. With my mind idle, I decided to let Old Nick (aka the Devil) turn Nick's mind into his workshop. Thus, an idle idiot has been turned into a productive individual by his idol. Erm, what am I saying here?

I don't really know. My mind's exhausted itself at the hands of Old Nick.

Besides, I'm at the tail end of my delirium-inducing fever, and a throat infection seems to have caught my neck in a vice-grip. Sigh. So much for staying home while Lyn works. The following photos might help you picture (pun intended?) the loneliness I'm suffering from as she works in a Nike store in a shopping complex that's quite near where I live:

watching beautiful birds(=gals) fly by!

"Here I stand, watching the tide go out,
So all alone and blue, just dreaming dreams of you."

Ah, couldn't be the least bothered. Huh? What's that about?

Anyhoo, this Devil-damned delirious mind decided to embark on a disastrous dallying with the Art of button making because it's body & soul had nothing else to do. The fruits of this satanic labour can be seen right below you, in the Hell below:

The Devil Hopes...

...you enjoyed those devilishly drab buttons. Dabbling in this Art requires an artistic mind Old Nick doesn't have. So, do excuse him while he stares at the following picture...

...that holds Heaven, Hell and Earth in one frame. A picture that never fails to induce more than a murmur of hope. A picture that says behind the brightest sky is the darkest Hell (or is it the other way round?). A picture that...

...[enough of this crap already! Enjoy the buttons and pics, peeps!]
