This is the most disturbing dream in recent memory:

I am alone in a dark apartment. How I got there is another story (dream context is just so hard to pin down, isn't it?). The room is cramped and cluttered with dull and fuzzy objects. Out of the window I see gargantuan arrays of concrete walls jutting out at sharp and peculiar angles, utterly esconced...

I come to you today from my brand-spankin' new booter, which is attached to my brand-namin' new iPod, which is right next to my not-so-new-except-to-me PS2, and all in all I'm feeling pretty good about the whole situation.

Anywho, I'm trying my best not to rant about the outcome of die Weltmeisterschaft, meaning I should probably avoid the whole topic of futbol (as all roads...

Sorry 'bout not writing so much.

I'm going camping this week on the (hopefully) warm and sunny Virginia coast. This would be my first trip into the Great American South, though I'm told where we're going barely qualifies. You could say I'm just dipping my toes in first to make sure I don't get bitten before I try venturing into the Deep.
