My biggest mistake was trying to date you instead of just sleeping with you.

I had been meaning to post this earlier, but for some reason never got around to doing it. Anyway, here it goes. I wrote this as a writing exercise to help me get over writer's block back in November ( Read more... )

The hardest part is watching you leave. The time spanning from when you shake the bottle and notice its emptiness to running your fingers in between my shoulder blades is the killer. I always force myself to remember the sensation of your digits sliding through the fabric of my shirt, but it never works. It's so instantaneous ( Read more... )

Life's, uh... it's been good lately. Can't complain. Things in general have been on the up and up. There was an instance this past weekend when I relapsed into the kind of mood that used to drive me to write her, but I listened to Beck's 'Sea Change' and drank some scotch instead.

Add to the mix the death of Heath ( Read more... )

The world's got me dizzy again. You'd think after 23 years I'd be used to the spin. And it only feels worse when I stay in one place, so I'm always pacing around or walking away ( Read more... )

Plans that don't materialize often lead to better things to come. I got that call this morning. What was expected wasn't delivered, and though being home after a seven month absence would've been fun, a free day would not be begrudged. Wireless remotes and sports figures composed of many polygons made the first couple of hours pass easily, followed ( Read more... )

As a rule, people whose favorite movies were made after 1990 should be completely distrusted. While there have been many cinematic gems made within that time frame, exposure to cinema of different periods/regions/ movements is a prerequisite for making an educated opinion on said art form. Why is it that film is the only artistic medium where the ( Read more... )
