Goodbye youth. Hello St. Dross.     

See the enemy emerge from the jungle

Exhausted. I planned on cleaning the bike and going for about a hundred-mile ride. Instead we replaced our hamsters' (Sparky & Felton) cage with a 20 gallon aquarium. Now they have plenty of room to play. Next, I remembered that the flush lever on the guest bathroom was broken. I chose to replace the guts […]

Chronicles

A forum I visit would probably pay for an updated version of Chronicles but the author hasn't updated it yet: http://www.jakob-persson.com/node/544. Sounds like an eventual update is somewhere down the road though. I did find somebody that has ported Chronicles to phpBB3.0.0 already and am considering approaching them about it. They use the original theme, […]

U23D vs Violence

So much for that–when we arrived the theater management informed us that the release had been pushed back in our market. Stuck in Montgomery and bored we opted to go watch a free movie offered by the manager. Cinema in Montgomery, Alabama is a difficult thing to come by for those who are not intimate […]

Stalker by Tarkovsky

. . . is up near the teevee ready to go. It's not a brainless film so I expect some heavy dream cycles this evening after watching the movie. My body is exhausted: I joined a gym that utilizes a circuit method of cardio. The first time I went in was a Saturday or two […]

Wiregrass, you harlot

We ate lunch at Honey's Hot Dogs today.
 WORST EVAR!!!
 There is something deeply wrong with restaurants in southeast Alabama. Namely, they generally suck ass. This particular adventure meant the cheapest, pink-colored and flotsam-filled dogs and the requisite Alabama tasteless, spiceless ground beef that masquerades as chili. Somebody should be lynched. Seriously. What the fuck? How can […]

Increasingly Malty Character

The Skree hasn't changed one bit. I'm glad that I've pulled back and focused on writing instead of thread-following. There are times I think that place couldn't fuck it's way out of a wet paper condom. Well, that's most of the time. 
My latest story is rough but beginning to take shape. It may be one […]

Adnams Broadside

M's grandmother was admitted yesterday for her second mini-stroke, or transient ischemic attack (TIA). My 'work' life (whatever that even is) has been hectic, as business has increased three-fold partially because of the poor economy, and partially because of the FED lowering the rate again. That's an entirely different argument to be had later.
I'm exhausted. […]
