Does anybody still use this?

I was actually just checking to make sure that my account and this site still existed. I'm glad it is. It's interesting to take a look back. You know, revisit all the whining I used to do. I've been considering chronicling some of my teacherly adventures: Talez from da Hood.

I recently watched a documentary that absolutely blew my mind. I've decided that everyone should see it. It's called Loose Change, and here is a site you can watch it on. It's the only place I could find it where you can watch it in fullscreen ( Read more... )

So, after many days the food is gone from the dish I left out for Alobar. This news could be good, bad, or indifferent. It could mean Alobar stopped by and is in the vicinity. It could also mean that a skunk enjoyed a sub-delicious, gravy-smothered, cubed chicken dinner on me. Or the food could have just as easily been eaten by my upstairs neighbor ( Read more... )

If anybody happens to be in the down town area and happens to see an adorable cat with long grey hair, they should certainly let me know. Alobar has been missing for a few days and I've caught no sign of him. Last time he ran off it was only for a night and he came right back. Of course, that was before there was a Doggy Day Care in my basement ( Read more... )

My Christmas was equally divided between sleeping and eating, a celebration of biological indulgences ( Read more... )

I had a peculiar series of dreams last night. In all of them, I stood alone next to an old stone well holding a book of matches. One at a time, I'd light a match and drop it down the well. I wanted the water at the bottom of the well to boil. I thought it would work if I'd just concentrate hard enough on the match ( Read more... )

Halloween this year decidely sucked.The past two or three years I've been really into it. Maybe it's a throwback to my days of being Chuck E.Cheese, but I've enjoyed the ridiculousness of making a costume and going out to enjoy a night of unusual buffoonery. There's something special about everybody you know going crazy at once, and seeing the ( Read more... )

I've already offset the balance of the day by sleeping in. I might as well waste a little more time writing this. I've been so busy lately that it feels like every hour of the day counts. In some ways, that's nice. I feel a little less adrift. These are the things between which I divide my time ( Read more... )

It's been difficult to write on a public forum lately. Everything happening in my life has simply been too personal for livejournal, which I've always thought of as an entertainment more than anything. Any journal I'd be using strictly for chronicling the events of the day would have to come with a lock ( Read more... )
