Whoof. Did some things that are making me nervous and tired today. I don't like it.

But, let's get to the interesting news: A while back, I was joking around in chat with Rev_JohnnyHorror and RatedPG. We were discussing a movie based on an ass-kicking vigilante priest. Today, I brought it up with a friend of mine who was also into creative writing: It...

Do you ever accidentally learn something about yourself?

Today at work was grueling. My group's supervisor is gone for the next two weeks, leaving two of us handling all our calls. There were weird last-minute requests that were frustrating, a total backlog of work that needed doing RIGHT NOW, and the phone wouldn't stop ringing. And yet, on the walk home, I realized: I felt...

Holy shit! I'm getting better at this guitar thing! I mean, I'm not competent or anything, but I'm getting better.

I take an ethics class at work on Thursday. I wonder if I can bribe the instructor to give me credit without my actually showing up.

Nothing new to speak of, but I feel like I'm slacking if I leave old entries up. I'm taking ballroom dancing classes on Sundays for a few weeks. It's fun, but I kind of think I prefer having my Sundays open. Who knows when I'll be near a ballroom, anyway?

I took my change to the Coinstar machine and got Amazon credit with it. I...

I now know 3 chords (6 if you count minors), how to tune my guitar, and how to replace a broken string. Also, my left fingers hurt all the time.

I'm having too much fun.

At my mother's funeral, I related a vaguely pointless story that came to mind, more or less on the spot. At some time, which must have been before I started school, my mother was taking a sculpture class at the local community college. While she worked in the studio, I'd quietly read. During breaks or after class, we'd go to the student cafeteria, get a...

Apart from a bit more introspective wankery than I was hoping for (see yesterday's blog), I accomplished everything I intended to this weekend.

Apart from washing my blanket, but that's a detail and I'm beat right now. Also, the yard's still a mess, but that wasn't a goal for this weekend. That's going to have to wait until the weather changes.

Saturday, I saw a...

The meteors were great! Sadly, the prediction was off, and it seems to have peaked a little after 4:00. That's about when I stopped at my chosen dark spot in the country, but the friend I was supposed to drive out with slept through my attempts to call, and he didn't make it out until 4:40 or so.

Still, when I got there there was...

Nothing especially new or exciting to report. I just don't feel like doing anything in particular, so I figure I'll blog.

I'm still having fun with the website, trying to think of what I want to write about next. I know it's totally a vanity project that hardly anyone reads, but I like doing it.

I should be drinking with Tami and Rose (et al)...

Every few weeks, I cross paths with a mexican ice cream vendor. They ride around on these little cycles with a freezer compartment, full of ice cream bars. It's never the same guy, but always the same ice cream. There are many flavors, but the important one is Coconut. Eeeez gooooooood. Also, it costs a buck.

I can never predict when I'm going to run...
