  • Brief Remarks

    This past Monday was my 52nd birthday. Still have a lifetime to go.

    I recently moved into a building that is over 100 years old. When it was first built, it served as a hospital for just over 30 years, and was bought out by King's Daughters Hospital. It eventually became an apartment building. I live on the second floor of the red brick structure. I like the place well enough, but I could really do without the cockroaches. I also need to do something so I can get the Internet going. It is sometimes a drag having to carry my computer to the library. Walking home with it on my back is a drag sometimes.

    From the local library I have checked out a number of DVDs and a few books. Earlier this week I watched season one of The Last Ship. Someone invents a killer virus that destroys 2/3 of the planet while the ship is on a secret mission to the Arctic Ocean, looking for a cure. Now I need to find season two and get caught up. Season three is currently airing on TNT, as far as I know. I'm also rewatching Shogun, starring Richard Chamberlain and Toshiro Mifune. I've also watched season two three of Game of Thrones.

    Things are well with the Ashland Beacon. I'm still writing stories, doing the interviews, doing the research for material to print.

    One thing I do not quite get about my personality concerns the level of introversion I have. Some days it is pretty deep, and it is difficult to be around people. Other days I can handle it and get things done. It has cycles to it. I'm okay at the start of the month, but by the end of the month I want to avoid people. My personality type on the Meyers-Briggs Temperment Inventory is Introvert-iNtuitive-Thinking/Feeling-Judgement. Sometimes I want to socialize. Other times I want to disappear. And it is always mixed with this overthinking-overfeeling tendency, which slows me down when timing is critical.

    More later.

  • Good to see you posting again! Don't find other INTJs every day. Sometimes you have to fake it til you make it - at least on the days where you have commitments that require in person interactions. It helps if you have a refuge from the social pressure. Hope you have found one for yourself.

  • Perhaps in time you could trade in your laptop for a smaller iPad. They do e same thiings, but make porting them much easier. I too don't have wifi in my home and rely on taking it to the library, mcds, bookstore, mall, or other place with free internet. Just a thought.

    The last ship sounds like something I might want to check out. I've seen a few virus movies before. Thanks for telling us about it.
