Missed the bus at half past because...
Saturday, February 19, 2011 at 12:13 I was reading the clever and the wise on Twitter and delayed too long my departure from the house (am, alas, having to go off to do the weekly laundry; the landlord refuses to purchase new machinae).
Which mishap does, in any event, encourage reflection on Time and its use, particularly in the upcoming penitential season. Was pretty successful at staying away from amusements, gossip and Internet frivolities during Advent and am discussing with myself what I ought to do in Lent.

Father Stephen Wang notices some 'digital fasting'. Am inclining-- for Lent-- toward the abandoning of Netflix and Hulu and keeping the use of the machina to two hours a day, with the stipulation that 'unused minutes' can be transferred to the weekends. I made my way through the Holy Father's Angelus address earlier in about... I didn't actually pay any attention; probably six or seven minutes (it wasn't reduced to publication-ready copy in that time, obviously, but was satisfied I understood the basic sense of each sentence and each expression). Hmm. I wish not smoking tobacco were a candidate but alas I suspect it isn't.
