So like I says, I made it back to the farm a couple days ago. Things are generally the same, although little things tend to be different. It's dry as shit this year--apparently there was one small rain during the entire growing season. The grass on the lawn hasn't grown, but alfalfa plants seem to be taking over, which actually doesn't look bad ( Read more... ) -

Thank you to all who replied to my recent posts on Terror in America. I normally make a point of responding to all posts and messages that I receive; however, given the incidents in the United Kingdom last night and the potential devastation that could have been, I will be refraining from doing so until tomorrow.
I will make a note that I made it ( Read more... ) -

Here's something I just realized for all the fear mongerers out there, claiming that "the world has changed because of 9/11." All the news casts keep pointing out that September 11th was the first time that an act of terrorism occured on American soil. This statement may sell a lot of papers, and may be truth in the sense that the truth is really ( Read more... ) -

Hey, remember when I posted about the guy that just moved in and had to pay extra for the air conditioning? I ran into him yesterday at the elevators, and he's moving out again. One month was apparently enough for him.
And such is life in the cheap fucking apartment. It's strange how your mind alters to reflect the reality of a situation if you' ( Read more... ) -

Tess the Classmate dropped me off at the cheap fucking apartment around 10.30. Walking into the darkness of the hot, muggy air, the tiny collection of rooms I rent from the concrete Borg felt lifeless and alone. The lights came on with a resounding 'click' to reveal a hardwood floor next to the desk in lieu of overstuffed luggage, confirming that ( Read more... ) -

It's not falling as hard as it was earlier. Two hours ago, it fell much harder, enough so that the sound woke me from my slumber. It was half-six in the morning; the portable pollution devices known as "cars" had not yet begun their daily migration down Shuter St., and hence there was only the sound of rain falling, carpet bombing the innocent ( Read more... ) -

So Pete, one of my very good friends/former co-worker back in limey-land (aka London), emailed to tell me he's married, and pretty much settled down in China. Pierre, another friend & one of the other head bartenders at the same bar I met Pete at, told me about it a while ago. Pierre, by the way, was a lawyer before taking time off to goof around ( Read more... ) -

So I've got 27 hours to write 3,000 words on the history of espionage--namely, "was it feasible that Chuck Barris (game show producer and host of The Gong Show) was a freelance assassin for the CIA?"
After all, there is some evidence that many of the people in the book exist. For example, one of the last people he killed, Mario Moretti, was pushed ( Read more... )
