A Revision of Revisionism.
So I believe I mentioned a few entries back that I have this on-again-off-again project slated for tentative publication consisting of six thematically-linked short stories. The collective title is intended to be Six to One after a disconcterting tarot reading I received from a friend in our hotel room in New Orleans this time last year, though ( Read more... ) -
SNOWMAGEDDON 2013!!!
All caps and superfluous exclamation points just cause I felt like it.
SAO. It was projected that we here in my portion of the Midwest would receive 6-10 inches of snow between midnight today (i.e. 20-21 hours ago) and midnight tonight. I left a friend's place last night after watching Interview With a Vampire and Clueless around ... let's ( Read more... ) -
And so, doing more.
I got an acceptance letter in the mail today from one of the M.A. programs I applied to. It was the one with the earlier deadline, so I should be hearing from the other schools in the next week or two.
I went with a friend last night to a free show put on every year for VD (however you make it stand for) by one of the local bands. I've been one ( Read more... ) -
I survived 2012 after all.
Though I did schlep about the last few days of it on my couch/hooker bed, poisoned by bad beets. I tried a yellow one at my friend's boss's Super Bowl party last night, and they still leave a bad taste in my mouth. >.But uh, I was glad to see the year taper out. My little cat that I had since seven died, and I cried for like two days solid, ( Read more... ) -
Well hey LJ, it's been a while...
I can post some substantial news later, on the off-chance anyone reads it, but in less than the time it'd take you to read that, you can watch this badly-pirated video about active citizenship!
Listen to those animated gents with the guns, 'Mer'ca. XP -
It's longjohns scarf time.
Naturally, the day I transplanted my latecrop lettuce seedlings in my buddy's community garden plot, the temperature opted to drop with no sign of spiking. I knew it was gonna happen, but ... it's a three day weekend out at the Faire this weekend ... and unless the weather is exceptionally grodey, I camp on site. GAH.
So it's been some three weeks ( Read more... ) -
A Study Idea

*LE SIGH*
Chasing shadows down cyber alleyways....
I Googled my uncle's name yesterday and actually found a few sites that mention him-him, not any "imposters" with the same name (although if that damned DJ would stop plugging up my search results, that'd be nice). I found this site and was glad to see that at least one other person aside from his business ( Read more... ) -
I rock sleep deprivation like a Boss. A progressively violent-minded Boss, but nonetheless.
Kid's in what I've since been told are the latter stages of some viral throat thingy, but night before last she became convinced that her throat was closing and she was dying. She texts all her friends who call my mother who call my grandparents et cetera et cetera teleclusterfuck, culminating in me waking a little after 2:30 a.m. yesterday ( Read more... ) -
... geh
That would be a GRR, but these days I find myself often feeling like expired butter being scraped on moldy bread with a dirty knife, hence its latter-day lower-decibel relative in utterances.
One of the boys from the old place, the one I still speak to, is back in town for a month. Here now I will contemplate the timing most appropriate to request ( Read more... )
