The sun had the sky most of the day, a low sun worthy of Hudson Bay, perhaps. The sky was blue above center, then got paler and dirtier as the dome stretched down to meet the skirt of clouds that traced the horizon. To the southwest, the clouds were an ugly aged linen; To the northeast, they were an old mousy gray. It was as if the sky had waited ( Read more... )

I had enough to eat heartily on this day, known as Thanksgiving. Summers and autumns must have been hell way back when if they had to celebrate their survival. In the last few days I have given myself the perspective of looking to the future, and now is not the time for rejoicing. Just the opposite. It's time to make sure the roots and apples are ( Read more... )

Whatever cause the deep chill of last night are gone now. I hope it was just a passing something.

The day was gray, a washed-out twilight of a time. At midday the snow was caught between the chop of fallen leaves; By midnight, it covered the grass and lent the streets a thin slush. This winter enters our lives like a knife slipped slowly into our

Woke up about two hours ago with a sharp attack of the shivers. It was almost epileptic spasms, even though I had on a few layers and a thick comforter. Took a soak in a steaming tub (but not steaming enough; I must reset the hot water tank thermostat.) Microwaved some water, also a half can of Dr. Pepper, which I remember used to taste better hot ( Read more... )

It was one week ago the temperature hit freezing overnight and killed off the plants on the porch. Today there are flurry devils leaving small beads of snow scattered here and there ( Read more... )

My old Yahoo Club Group Ryoko's has hit a kind of dismal silence. Of course, at the beginning of the year, it was 'active' but not really. It was three nerds abusing themselves wilth stupidity in three word comments. After awhile it either A) gets old and they stop, or B) they get sent to some prison where they get repeatedly gang raped. In either ( Read more... )

They were replacing the roof on the apartment building this week, so Monday I shut down the computer and put it in my car trunk, J-i-C somebody nneded to drop something through the drywall ceiling or come into the apartment to inspect something (such as something dropped through the drywall ceiling). And as such things usually go, my paranoid ( Read more... )

Six words. Six words and I wanna go somewhere high up and watch a sunset with some sweet exotic drink ( Read more... )

It's almost a bizarre Glenn Close situation. "... you won't see me, you won't take my calls, I mean, I'm not going to be IGNORED, Dan!" Except of course that Close was playing a psycho and Michael Douglas was playing an asshole and that should be evidence enough for keeping analogies firmly in check ( Read more... )
