I dreamt last night that I was interviewing for a job.  I walked in, knowing I had the job in hand.  The interview was a technicality ( Read more... )

David Eddings died today.  The second fantasy book I ever read after The Lord of the Rings was Pawn of Prophecy, book one of The Belgariad.  I was 14, and we were moving from Virgina.  We drove down, which was a 13 hour trip if I remember correctly.  My parents took me and my sister to a bookstore to each pick out a book for the trip.  I remember ( Read more... )

This is quickly becoming a bad habit. I'm wasting my days away. I have to be more productive. Lately, all I do is take a shower, eat a couple meals, chat with my friend Josh on Skype while he's at work, and surf around on Facebook.

Majorly fucked up dream last night.  It started out as a fairly cool Lord of the Rings adventure.  In my dream I was simultaneously reading another series that Tolkien had apparently written (but wasn't as successful as LotR) and I was also in the story of the book.  That was all well in good until I found myself in a house getting my mail.  My ( Read more... )
