Hello! I'm still cataloguing! It will be done soon. There are about 45 categories so far!
It might be possible for other people to get by with fewer categories, but probably only because most people only write about one or two things. That means life here is much richer!
Scott Adams, creator of the Dilbert comic strip, also has a blog. He lost his voice completely 18 months ago, which is hard work to say the least. But he has some good news for you. You can read about it here!
I found that because I was looking at some photos at the Magnum photo agency and was finding that many of them are REALLY DEPRESSING! As long as something counts as news, it seems it has to be awfully serious and therefore depressing. I have realised that the same is true of art, particularly film. This has been touched on by Mr Adams too. Probably I say "particularly film" only because there are a lot of films around in the world, and not much talk about the latest symphony from...what was his name, oh that's right, we don't know the names of any living composers do we. Meanwhile they have all died! Anyway, back to art. Well, depressing things are serious. However, they do not have to be depressing to be serious. I think that to be really serious you have to be able to laugh. It shows you have understood the seriousness of a situation - because if you know how bad some things might really be, then you probably also know the first useful thing we can do about them is not to be defeated, and to laugh.
But the news is always serious, i.e. depressing! What about the other news? They don't bother to tell us about that, do they. Well, sometimes. But it's always "on a lighter note", it's an extra bonus after the depressing things. They could put in more positive stuff, you know. What nice things happened today? We don't know, but I bet something nice happened!
Right, that's enough talking from me. I'd better get on with my painstaking cataloguing of this valuable internet resource of usefulness!
PS I just had a glance at the adverts to the top left of this. I see we are now being offered Mandolin Instruction! How on earth did that get there?
PPS I have just mentioned Mandolin Instruction! Twice! Now all the adverts will be for Mandolin Instruction! Aggh, three times! Someone stop me writing about Mandolin Instruction!
