My impending doom...
A couple of days ago I looked in the mirror and noticed a red welt-like thing under my right eye. I have no idea what caused it or why I have it. There is no pain nor itching. Nothing, just the red welt. I'm pretty sure it means I'll be dead within a matter of hours. In case I am, good bye everyone ( Read more... ) -
Baghdad by the Bay revisited
Last night, just after I posted to LJ and just before I was to do my private journaling, my power went off again. This was about midnight. It stayed off for about four hours. And, it wasn't even raining. What a pain. I remember that, when I moved into this apartment about 10 years ago, we had constant power outages. And, it wasn't the apartment ( Read more... ) -
My Life in Hell
It's been a few days since I've posted because... Well, because I have too many irons in the fire.

New Year's Eve
Happy New Year, everyone. For those of you who are glad to be rid of the old year, you are in luck. For those of you who also dread the coming of the New Year, I don't know what to say. :-) But, a New Year more or less seems like a new start. People make 'New Year's Resolutions'. I don't because I know I'd never keep any of them for too long ( Read more... ) -
My Soup Pot
Has anyone seen my soup pot? I can't find it! I've never lost a soup pot before. I may have left it at an ex-girlfriend's house. I hope she hasn't thrown it out. -

Christmas Eve concludes...
As I sit here eating my (self-prepared, I might add) traditional (traditional as of several minutes ago) Christmas breakfast of one slice of "double fiber" whole grain bread, toasted, with peanut butter, I will tell you the rest of my adventure on Christmas Eve...
