Yesterdays blog was a bot of a downer one, I admit. The comments on it ranged from "get a massage", "call a lady of the night", "join a club" and "learn a new language" to "delete this now because it doesn't look good for you if you want to meet someone from here" and some random nonsense from someone else.

Learning a new language is pointless - I speak two languages fluently, and I know a few words in 15 others, so I'm good on that front. Also, I never joined this site to meet up with people in real life. I joined for the blogs. Not ruling out the possibility of meeting someone here in real life, but I am not actively seeking that. Not at the moment.

Anyway!

Yesterday, I heard from my brother for the first time in two and a half months. He phoned me up out of the blue to ask me if I could look after my niece for a few hours on Saturday. Naturally, as the good brother and uncle that I am, I said sure. It's been a while since I have spent some time with my niece, so it should be a good one.

Then, today, he phoned again. "What's this, two phone calls in two days?", was my immediate thought. My niece just wanted to hear if we could get spaghetti for dinner with lots of cheese. "Of course! but we also need sausages and bacon", was my reply. So now, I have to work my magic to create the ultimate spaghetti dish! I have had some practice, so it should be pretty dang good. I need three types of cheese: Mozzarella, cheddar and parmesan. Mix those three cheeses together in a bowl, throw in some paprika, or if you're really adventurous - throw in some chili. Possibly some cayenne pepper as well. Before you know it, you have a cheese blend that taste amazing and is good with everything. Well.. Maybe not everything, but most pasta dishes.

As you can probably tell, I am in a far better mood today. Yesterday was a rare one, where I just felt so alone. I guess we all feel alone at some point in our lives.

Mars must be free of Earth's domination.
Hi Philipsen, just mentioning that your niece asked for spaghetti and cheese. What you're talking about is very different. Remember, if she's a child she may not like peppers and parmesan. You could make two separate dishes or you could check with your brother.
She's looking forward to a special treat so you better get it right.

Maybe this or maybe just a creamy spagetti.

Read your yesterday blog ...
we all get downers, its part of life so no need to feel awkward or sorry bout it.
Take your eyes from the screens and get your feet outside, all you need to do is bump into REAL life again.

Two and a half months is a long time not to be in touch with your brother but I wonder if he wasn't stuck for a sitter would you of heard from him?

Best way to feel not alone is watch a scary movie uh oh
I would make the spaghetti without anything spicy...Younger palates generally do not care for spicy things...

Have a great time with your niece...
I never said I was gonna make the spicy cheese on Saturday - just that you can use that to pep up the cheese, so to speak. No, the cheese is gonna be just regular non-spicy cheese
In a week, I spend two hours every day in front of a screen, when I am home from work. The other 22 hours are used on sleep and work, but I see your point. I am heading to a concert soon, so I am going to be in a room with 1499 other people, which is gonna be fun!
