"No, actually, the real story was a lot funnier. She did have an odd eye, but it was because of cataracts. We bonded because of our dislike of Vicoden and our hatred for Ernest Hemmingway's 'The Old Man and the Sea'. You see, she was either on pain killers or being a complete bitch all of the time and I just assumed the latter until one day when I ( Read more... )

This is draft #2 and it's due on the 14th. Please let me know if you think that some part isn't clear such as who is talking; grounding issues like that ( Read more... )

I'm turning in my Tableau project in about ten minutes. Laura and I spent a good number of days running around to find a toy gun, lights, tripod, cigarettes, etc to create a Film Noir scene. I'm pretty happy about it ( Read more... )

I was watching Planet Earth last night and if you haven't seen it and you like the world, you should.

When I got to Newcastle I was greeted with sparkling white wine and talk about converting cars to biodiesel and that sort of hippie talk. For once after a get together I can say that I like my family. A far cry from last year's awkward ( Read more... )

After signing up for so many classes I didn't want to take quarter by quarter at the UW I've finally got some seniority working for me: Short Story Writing, Verse Writing, and basic photo.

I got a couch for the apartment too

Guess Jeans Co. needs me for the day after Thanksgiving at least. I won't have to do anything, but stand around and get paid retail wage and I could work the weekends to see some people aside from the awkward encounters of my neighbors. We always see what's her face smoking in our parking spot and talking on the phone. She skitters away and says ( Read more... )
