Ghosts
Spent the night chasing ghosts. Silly ghosts that live in PHP... and would play nice with Firefox, but haunted the inhabitants of Internet Explorer'ville endlessly. Probably a good thing, because those inhabitants deserve to be haunted - forever, for all of the grief they have caused me.
But these ghosts needed to be eliminated. Initially, it seemed like a playful ghost, something that could be fixed with a few little changes - Slimer. A couple hours later, it felt like the Stay-Puff Marshmallow man.
Then, like Egon Spengler (i'm not gonna google it. i'm trusting my memory), Nan showed up with some good ideas. We crossed the streams, and hopped into Ecto-One.... and then it was fixed.
Take that ghost.
Its cold tonight. Like 10C cold. Just checked Dashboard. its 7C cold. Last weekend felt like August, now it feels like October. Seems like summer just disappeared. That fleeting feeling will come too soon - no need for it now. Reminded me again, to stop chasing ghosts, and spend more time lying in the grass. Ghosts are afraid of the grass, and the sun, and park benches under trees.
The weather and all of this talk of metaphysical ghosts makes me feel like reading Pirsig again. Maybe I will.
