Last night, I fell asleep on my futon while watching some old episodes of Arrested Development. I woke up around 7 this morning when something inexplicably fell off my computer desk. At first I was panicked that it was my new phone (Galaxy Nexus I don't have a case for yet..I'm paranoid about breaking it and it was plugged in and sitting near the ( Read more... )

So, I logged in around early June and saw my own entry from New Years. ...and realized that the year was half-gone and I'd done NONE of the things I talked about ( Read more... )

New year. I'm not one for resolutions, but I've got plans. Get my knee fixed (finally), lose about 40 pounds, find someplace to play racquetball, and cook a hell of a lot more. I've been talking about getting back into the practice of cooking and then canning my own foods for almost this entire PAST year and haven't done it....so it's time to ( Read more... )

A log sat in the grass on the edge of the hilltop. Dead weeds had grown and tangled their way into what was left of its bark before dying, holding it rather firmly into place. The log, so far as it was concerned, didn't need anything roping it down. It had no intention of moving if it didn't have to, which, for now at least, it didn't. The spot was ( Read more... )

Ok, so I just moved into a new apartment (it's a very nice one, by the way).

This isn't for me or about me. I don't know if the person it's for and about will ever give it a second glance though, so for vanity's sake, here it is ( Read more... )

Fortunately, the trees broke his fall instead of the fall breaking him. Kyran's head spun and everything hurt from his impact with the ground. Slowly and carefully he sat up, looking over himself for any bones jaggedly sticking out through clothing that he just hadn't noticed yet. With everything appearing to be more or less in order, he climbed ( Read more... )

The sharp rigid cedar branches scraped his face and made his eyes burn as he tore through the woods. They were behind him...they were tracking him from the sides. He knew these woods. He knew the plateau he ran across. He knew exactly where they were chasing him to, and he didn't like it one bit ( Read more... )

Ok, so I went down to the laundry room to check and see if there are any available washers. SWEET! 5 of them. I come back to my room, grab my clothes basket, and head back down...there's a black guy coming out of his apartment with a HUGE basket and he's a hell of a lot closer...needless to say, he beats me there and takes of FOUR of the 5. FOUR ( Read more... )
