Am I a Californian now?
As of tommorow, I will have been in California a year and as of yesterday, I have lived through my first earthquake. Yes, we had a 5.6 earthquake last night (Oct. 30, 2007) at 8:05 P.M. Yes, I yelled in terror and ran to some semblance of a doorway. At least I didn't hide under the table. That was only because I was too scared to think about ( Read more... ) -
I...OUTRAN...A TRAIN!!!
Okay, yes, it was just a downtown trolley, but it's basically a train that was going maybe ten miles an hour. I was going to the Light Rail station last night (Monday), and was coming around the corner when the train started approaching the station. So I booked it at least 50 yards, keeping just ahead of that thing. Then, as it slowed down, I ( Read more... ) -
Storm Fury Starts Up!
This is to announce the beginning of what will, hopefully, be a long running fiction. It is called the Journals of The Storm Fury, and it is located over at stormfury.wordpress.com. Writer’s Block Buster will continue to exist, but will be used as both the general writing discussions as well as announcements for Journals of the Storm Fury.
So far ( Read more... ) -
I can speak again!
Well, the laryngitis went away this morning. Now I need to prepare for a hiring fair tomorrow for Starbucks. This is a different one than the one I mentioned before. It's for the district I actually live in. I really want to get this job. -
The Sound of Silence.
Ah, silence. At the end of a long day, it's nice to be able to sit back, relax and listen around to only hear the sounds of the dishwasher in the kitchen, the crickets in the vents, and your fingers tapping on the keyboard of the computer. Not having to raise your voice above a whisper to make yourself heard to anyone. Of course, that's a really ( Read more... ) -
I am an idiot.
So, there are some grapes near the mall that's down the street from my house. Last year, I saw that they all went bad, so I figured no one would care if I took a couple. They were Concord grapes, so I knew they were okay. The six I had tasted really good. Unfortunately, I didn't realize that, being there for decoration, they were sprayed with ( Read more... ) -
Double Post, Facet News
The thing that I was calling Vice is gone. He was banished. While this was going on, I was gyrating with what has been called full body tics. It felt like times before, like there was something moving me. I knew it was Vice, and I ordered it bound, gagged and banished in the name of Jesus. Then it stopped. I then got a mental image of the ( Read more... ) -
A dream.
So, I had a dream last night. It was more like this morning, since it's what I woke up from, but that's not the point. I have a lot of dreams, but this was different.
In my dream, I was in a grassy field, and there were sheep and goats passing me. Then, one of the goats, a big, ugly, brown, mean looking male goat, started charging me. I huddled ( Read more... ) -
Bad Day.
Have you ever had a day where you just wanted to throw it all in the fryer and forget the cholesterol? I know that makes no sense right now, but that's how I'm feeling. I won't go into the reasons I had a bad day, because it's in the past and gone. There is no point in reliving the stress that I felt today, but needless to say, it was stressful ( Read more... ) -
October First Resolution
I am going to get a job by November 1. I will have a job before the end of October and I will not listen to anything else that disagrees with that. I will not listen to anyone who tells me I can not work and that I will not be able to get a job by then. I will not listen to anyone who tells me I am unable to work. I will not listen to anyone ( Read more... )
