well, as we were taking our first tour of our fantastic villa.. a suspicious character who i will refer to as Juan, in a nice little truck slowly drove by us, checking off the list of items that we had. dear lord, we're already counting down the days ( Read more... )

Incase sam hasn't said enough about us signing our tombstones. i just wanted to give you all a chance to call dibs on all my stuff. First come, first served.

Well, sitting in an internet cafe', bon jour. Staring at green rolling hills cascading the mountain slopes. Old ladies playing either backgammon or dominoes, i have to touch up on my board games. I must be in the big city of Lyon, what a fancy life i lead.. in slumber. The moist harshness of the 280 pottpouri engulfing my clean filters with a ( Read more... )

Everyone, please pray for Rolla's health. In a cliche moment, she died as i pulled into b'ham, with an hour to my interview. We spent hours diagnosing to no resolution.

Way up the trees are the Monchichi, but this isn't a story about happy creatures that live with the birds. This is a darker story, below the treeline live the Ewoks of Endor. Blink once, and be denied. Blink twice, an eye for an eye. Justified, left of course, by the riverbed of opals. Sure they waddle, some do wag, a giggle a smile sure.. ( Read more... )
