Uhhh... I just received my first fully sanctioned class E license to drive. By accident. No test, no questions - the lady at the tax collectors office obviously couldn't parse the reality of my owning a car and not knowing how to operate it, a breech of logic so unintelligible I can only assume it was an instinctual whim on the part of her sanity ( Read more... )

I'm redirecting my efforts today, from fixing up the house and yard to updating this tired thing. It's been awhile, so in the interim I've escaped from the alpestrine madness of Summit County to the languid slurry of Florida's thermonous shores; or, "America's Wang." The drive down was uneventful, but beautiful in parts. I had heard a lot about the ( Read more... )

Bleh, I believe I may have laryngitis, the kind that sends its bacterial vanguards on anabasis to my left inner ear. Made several phone calls to medical centers and clinics in the county, and despite my entreaties the earliest appointment had is Tuesday at the one practice whose CEO was being indicted this past week on child-pornography charges.

It looks like we'll be squeaking by February afterall. At least, so far - typically this month inchworms to Spring Break, only exacerbated by the current economy. But astonishingly enough the daily doldrums of consumer frugality are punctuated with some spending, which is more than I expected ( Read more... )

drghr rjght n I really do mean to post more often, rather than let this journal succumb to attrition like so many. Admittedly, I don't like to post when my mind has been shamelessly wallowing in places it shouldn't, a little mental subterfuge meant to distract, keep up the artifice, ol' effigy of myself this journal. Let's see if I can regularly ( Read more... )

I've got the kind of tired that sits like a cotton wall behind my eyes, a great big soft buffer between me and the world. And yet I still can't sleep. Not that it's bad, just that there's a gloam of immediacy on the horizon, sort of side-ways winking at me ( Read more... )

Alright. Writing has been difficult lately due to a number of factors, none the least of which is that my computer is little more than a dust magnet for the time being, a monolithic dust bunny incubator, until I get those fans whirring again. Also, if I do write, there's this little poison called 'negativity' which is currently lacing the tips of ( Read more... )

I'm at work staying open later than usual, trying to bleed a little more from the sidewalks. Anything, really. This will likely become a regular ritual despite what successes there are. So far, nothing. I brightly noticed traffic making its way from Denver, which means people will check into their over-priced hotels and timeshares, ignoring the ( Read more... )

Pretty much nothing else to report on, sir.
