Last night I had a dream that I had the house to myself for a week or so. Somehow I met a young couple--late teens, early twenties. They had all the appearances of wanting to be my friend, crashing at the house for a few days. But what they were really doing was robbing me blind. They sold almost everything of value; clothes, jewelry, books, ( Read more... )

I woke up @ 2:40 a.m., overheated. I seriously need to stop wearing lycra shirts to bed. To kill time I decided to do something I've never done before: investigate Twitter. I've read about it in Wired magazine, and have known at least one fan. Let's check it out ( Read more... )

It's been a long time since I've written... anything at all. Literally anything more than a txt message conversation. Part of it is due to the fact that so few friends are left to read. But I need to remind myself that even if something written online misses human observation completely, it is not the same as if it had never been written.

The ultra- ( Read more... )

I've been sick for seven days now. My digestion system hates me. Sometimes the thought of food makes me ill. Other times I'll be hungry but afraid to eat. Then I will eat something larger than... a handful, and regret it for a long time after. I must have written my last post during one of my better times ( Read more... )

I was feeling sick the last day or two. It was probably food poisoning. Yesterday over the course of the day I ate less than I would normally eat in one meal. I'm feeling better today, though I don't have much of an appetite ( Read more... )

I woke up early this morning, restless and uninspired. Nothing seemed interesting. Then I started listening to Death Cab. I will definitely have to write about seeing them in concert last April ( Read more... )

For the first time in months, my laptop is working. The glitch that kept Windows from starting in anything but Safe Mode (with spontaneous restarts) seems to have just gone away on its own. I am skeptical, but it's hard to complain while listening to some of my favorite songs ( Read more... )

Breaking my recent routine of playing videos I've favorited or playlisted on YouTube as background while I do something else, I start streaming 88.9 FM. Immediately a song I like plays--"Stand Up and Be Strong" by Soul Asylum. I feel rewarded and justified for my actions. Likewise, if a song came on that I despised, I would feel like i was being ( Read more... )

Yesterday I could've done anything, but I did nothing. My only accomplishment was reading about 250 pages from a fantasy novel, finishing it. I've read them since high school, and have loved and followed many characters as they discover their destiny. But today I feel like the entire genre is bullshit. People are always getting swept off to ( Read more... )

The longer I go without exercise, the more neurotic I become. After almost week of poor weather and procrastination, I was feeling powerless and morose. The excellent weather (mid-50's with a 10-15 mph wind) demanded I snap out of it and go for a jog. A mere 45 minutes wasn't going to cut it; I needed to do something I could be proud of. After ( Read more... )
