I ended up running across a link to a post on LJ, and decided to see if my journal was still there. It was, and there are seemingly still a few friends using it. I haven't posted anything here in a very long time, myself, but it is interesting to see some of what I had been posting years back. Also gave me a little bit of a timeline on things where ( Read more... )

Well, heading off to Dragoncon today. Hoping to see a few of the friends from the New Orleans area turn up at Dragoncon just to be certain they made it. Been a lot of grim news on the areas hit by Katrina, and it sounds like it may be quite some time before things get back to livable in those places.

In a related bit, found one person in the New ( Read more... )

Well, haven't posted anything on this in ages. I am currently here at Fantasm, Saturday night. Been having a good time on the whole, though the parties seem a little weaker than the ones last year on average. Bumping into all sorts of old friends of course, as well as making new ones. One of these days, I suppose I should really get a digital ( Read more... )

Just submitted the poem in my previous entry to www.poetry.com this morning, and even did their bit where you record a voice entry over the phone so that people can hear you read it aloud or the like. I titled the poem 'Dark Holiday' and it can be found by searching under Christopher Keys on that site. Maybe I should try and do more poetry after a ( Read more... )

When chill grasp of winter clutches your skin,
and teases a way past clothing too thin,
visions of nightmares creep through the mind,
stalking the night when most are quite blind.
Whispering sounds at the edge of unease,
from imagination dark thoughts do they tease,
when sanity is less than certain indeed,
the hungers of dark terrors grow in their ( Read more... )

I suppose I've skipped a couple of posts the last few days. Just didn't get around to them, really. I can't even claim I was too busy, just that the journal wasn't much on my mind. Almost skipped on my entry today, as well, but decided to put in at least something. I think too many of my entries have just been the 'Nothing happened today, I ( Read more... )

Not much to say today, really. Moderate day at work, lots of boot sales because of the sales tax holiday in Georgia. No tax on a variety of products over this weekend. Going over to the computer store with the shop manager tomorrow to pick up network products so we can network the computers in the store.

It sometimes seems that these entries get entirely to repetitive at times: It is too hot, there was an accident out front, I played such and such game, I should change something, or one of a few other near mantra phrases. Little enough in the way of drama in such things, admittedly, and perhaps an indication of how routine my days often turn out ( Read more... )

I do not care for hot weather. I see entirely too much of it for my taste. Indoor temperature at work is currently 90.5 degrees, and it feels like a high humidity day, as well.

Spent more time playing Halo yesterday, helping the roommate through a number of the scenes in cooperative mode. I found that to access the multiplayer maps that support vehicles, we will need four controllers. I'll probably look into getting those later. On the bright side of that, it will make it easier to invite others over to play if we have ( Read more... )
