Can't sleep. Let's try writing a story.
"The place is cleaner than I expected," Tate Sterling exclaimed, gently pushing open the apartment door. The hand doing so was tucked into an inverted jacket pocket. It was a crime scene, after all, and it wouldn't do to have the inevitable police dusters thinking his fingerprints had been up to any untoward business in such a locale. April May, ( Read more... ) -
I've not had a normal dream for a long time.
Odd dream from last nightI'm in the corridor of a school with blue carpets and high white concrete walls. There are students walking through those halls, and they're trapped like I am. I know that outside of the school are black hawk-like beings watching us. Making sure we're following the rules ( Read more... ) -
An Idea
I enjoy a swim. But I'm also too lazy and too cheap to toddle on down to the swimming pool of a morning. There is a swimming pool in the backyard, but it isn't large enough to swim in. Three strokes and I'd have to stop. So. What if I instead tethered myself in place ( Read more... ) -
SomeDay - Sarah Gregory
SomeDay by Sarah Gregory. I used to listen to this when I lived in Mayfield. I'd walk to the local pool, do laps for an hour, and walk home with this playing in my headphones. Every time I hear it I go back to that moment when I climbed out of the pool. Cold, a little sore, the smell of chlorine. It feels like acomplishment. A reminder that I once ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
I am surprised to find that it has been almost three months since my last post. I haven't noticed how much time has passed. Not because there is so much going on. Quite the opposite. There has been no variety in my days. Class. Study. Home. Wait. Exams are coming soon, so I won't have that routine for much longer ( Read more... ) -
Public Housing
I have beside me a stack of papers that I will courier to the Department of Housing later on today. It is an application for public housing. If successful, I will be on a waiting list for my own residence. And judging by the incompetence of the Department and the inconsiderate greed of the average Australian, there's a good chance I'll be able to ( Read more... ) -
I can't be spartan until I have a sink
All in all, I like my setting to be functional. I've never focused too much on decoration. Along the way I've collected one or two mementos that help me connect with fond memories, but these items are typically small and unobtrusive. Everything else has a purpose. No decorative end tables, no throw cushions, no posters, no knick-knacks, no floor ( Read more... ) -
An offer
John and Amy, two friends living in Japan, have passed along an offer. They are willing to help me find work overseas, and will provide a place for me to stay while I do so ( Read more... ) -
Tumblr is another world, man
I've been feeling a touch off in the belly this evening, and I hadn't noticed that I had spent nearly two hours swimming through various Tumblr accounts. In this time, I have seen some funny pictures, stupid comments, and oddly hypnotising house music. Most of it is terrible, but it doesn't help. And I tell you what, now that I've watched the ( Read more... )
