Greetings, readers! I hope you are well.

I recently discovered a section of the internet referred to as “stock photos.” For those of you who are not aware of what such a thing is, a stock photo is a picture or graphic that others then use in websites, presentations, or other forms of media.

Some of the photos were unintentionally funny. Others were disturbing.

As an example of the unintentionally amusing: Readers, why do stock photo-makers ever decide to use road-signs? They seem to misunderstand the concept. When two concepts are on road-signs facing opposite directions, or even merely different directions, the underlying meaning is that the ideas are different.

For the disturbing: Why are there so many stock images of men with lightbulbs for heads? It is disturbing. Possibly even creepy.

What do you think, readers? Why do artists do this to us?

Greetings, readers!

I read something rather amusing today. It was a defense of train robberies. I sincerely hope it was satire.

You should read it.

Greetings, readers. I bid you a joyous Wednesday.

It has come to my attention that waiting is something that many have trouble with. The term “waiting” can be applied both long-term and short-term.

In the long term, it can cause stress-symptoms to appear as it does, in fact, induce a fair amount of stress to wait for long periods of time. This is especially true if one knows that one is waiting for something, but might not be as certain about how that which one is waiting for will turn out.

To what were you referring?

Oh. I suppose that it might, possibly, not be as clear as I might hope. But it still mostly conveys the sentiment I am trying to show. That is, long-term waits can be stressful.

Short-term waiting can also be a bit stressful, but the level of stress between different lengths of time varies. Waiting two minutes to leave to go to the grocery store, for example, might not be as stressful as the three-and-a-half month long wait before starting a new phase of life.

In other words, I just spent approximately 200 words to indicate that waiting for the unknown might be stressful. I hope you appreciate my fluffing this post out to be approximately ten times as long as it could, possibly, have been.

Greetings, Readers!

Today’s post is short. I am filling in for the Webmaster while she is busy today, but I do not want to write a lengthy post.

That is actually just as well, however, because I found an interesting article about myths concerning women from the Victorian Era.

I encourage you to read it.

Greetings, reader! It is I again, Fluffy McGiggles, Melodramatic Actress Extraordinaire.

As demonstrated by that overly flowery introduction sentence.

Today, I bring a tale of woe to you about writing. For you see, readers, there exists out there an evil character masquerading as good. She sneaks upon you unexpectedly, and corrupts whatever writing she manages to infiltrate. She is… the Mary Sue.

What, you ask, is the Mary Sue? Well, she is the “perfect” character. As in, she literally has no flaws. Any “flaws” that she has would, in other characters (or in real life people) be considered virtues. This list of “flaws only a protagonist could have” essentially summarizes the Mary Sue set of character flaws. The list is quite amusing, also.

Alas, I fear that there will always be Mary Sues in works of writing, especially as teenage girls are now capable of posting their works of written fiction online. However, I hope that some will avoid them.

If you have encountered a Mary Sue, I give you my sincerest sympathy, and hope that you have managed to escape relatively unscathed.

I now wish you a joyous Wednesday.

Greetings, readers! I bid thee a joyous Tuesday.

I recently encountered this amusing tale about a company problem.

It involves a multi-million dollar decision from a CEO and a solution that may or may not be expected by some people.

I encourage you to read it.

I hope you enjoy.
