Last night I found myself staring into the mirror. Blood-shot, dilated eyes stared back. The dark bags beneath gave the resemblance of a raccoon. Three small points of light danced in the middle, surrounded by a sea of black. The out of focus wall behind expanded and contracted in time with slow breaths. This continued for a few minutes, mirror and ( Read more... ) -

(Untitled)
Ran across some fairly honest ultra-condensed classic scifi books. Here's a couple examples
The illuminatus! trilogy:
The Illuminati are a secret society that (DRUGS SEX DRUGS) control everything in the world (SEX DRUGS SEX) including all governments, financial institutions, and (DRUGS SEX DRUGS) intelligence agencies. No, they're not. Well, yes ( Read more... ) -
The letter F
To be honest the original reason for this blog was to bitch about how much weddings suck, that was going to transition into irritation over running out of people to talk to since they have all gotten into relationships (I suck at maintaining friendships with people who are dating others.) What it all comes down to is that I'm terribly lonely. I ( Read more... ) -
Things are progressing...sort of
There's a bit of news today. Finally finished my application for Americorps. Ended up doing what I normally do when writing an essay; Hammer it out, rework the phrasing over the course of an hour or two, sit there worrying whether I should change parts, and ultimately decide to just turn it in as is a couple days later. This approach might not ( Read more... ) -
penguins indeed sirrah

They were walking through the Zoo in Canberra when, without warning, a huge flock of vampire attack penguins dove out of the sky and tried to carry Linus away. Fortunately, Andrew had an ( Read more... ) -
Soda? Money?
Let's start this out with a depressing note; Cats is going to be at the paramount soon.
In other news I'm going in for the first survey for Gilmore Research Group on Monday. It'll be a taste test of "flavored, non-cola beverages." Apparently including grape soda. I'm not supposed to know anything about the survey beforehand, but it came up in ( Read more... ) -
Though my mind's at peace the world's out of order.
The Internet is pretty much going nowhere as far as the job search goes. Don't get me wrong there is plenty of work out there, but without a car Craigslist is fairly useless. For instance I'd love to take this job as a whitewater river guide, but have no way of getting to the sites. Yes blaming my lack of a (running) car is rather a silly excuse, I ( Read more... ) -
A brief consideration of textiles
This post is mostly notes to myself, but feel free to read it anyway if you like. If you spot a factual error or have some related information please leave a comment ( Read more... ) -
It's a brand new day and the sun is high. All the birds are singing that you're gonna die
Haven't bothered writing much in some time.
There just hasn't been much point what with the relative rarity of things worth reporting.
Life has been mostly straight forward for some time now.
Oh sure there's been the usual mood swings, trips to Olympia, failed attempts to get this job thing going, and what not, but these things have all become ( Read more... )
