Hours of the ungodly.

Saturday, September 29th, 2007

So here it is, 6am and I have yet to sleep. I’ve had insomnia in a bad way for a couple of weeks now, and my body clock is almost hopelessly screwed. So the plan here is to stay awake, to not go to bed, until “normal” bedtime rolls around tonight. I don’t [...]

Redacted for your pleasure.

I am not a one-trick pony.
But I sure as hell feel like it.

Video Wednesday #2

Wednesday, September 26th, 2007

Even though I only have maybe four regular readers, I’m going to be posting videos on Wednesdays. Even if it doesn’t amuse you, it still amuses me, so there, nyah.
Today’s video is from Midge Ure. Midge Ure is the former voice of the 80s New Wave/New Romantic group, Ultravox. I think his first solo [...]

The story has been posted.

Okay, so I’ve converted the story and it can be found here:
We Run (opens in new window)
I’ll leave it up through the weekend, maybe into next week.
As I said in the previous entry, you can e-mail me with comments, or leave your comments here.
Thanks,
J.

Back in black.

So I’m back after nearly three days without internet. Oh. My. God. I wasn’t quite in “I’m gonna die without my fix” mode, but it was close. Just glad the hallucinations and cold sweats have abated.
The situation was this: stupid cable modem went tits-up, so I was stuck until the cable dude could swing [...]

Bereft.

Wednesday, September 19th, 2007

I’ve been without internet since late last night (I’m writing this at my parents’ place), so I’ve been unable to post anything until now. I guess that’s an obvious statement.
There have been developments on the ex front. Like I said, still a lot of chips to fall, or shoes to drop, so I can’t really [...]

Idiots and other idiots.

So. Remember the entry I wrote about the non-sky sky photo?
Well the moron submitted another photo in the same vein. A pretty yellow umbrella taking up the left third, a slice of building taking up the right third, and a slice of sky in the middle. A slice of unremarkable plain blue nothing.
And [...]

We run.

Not much to write about, I think. But we’ll try.
The e-mail from Susan and the story that I’m working on have had me wandering up and down memory lane. I find it hard to reconcile myself to the fact that these events took place twenty-some years ago. On the one hand it feels [...]

Memory and dream.

Thursday, September 13th, 2007

I wasn’t sure what to write about, today…until this arrived in my e-mail, under the title “Mementos”:

Hi James,
I was going through my scrapbook from highschool looking for some mementos from grad and happened on a few things from you. I have the note you dropped in my locker the day we broke up and [...]

Life’s what you make it.

Wednesday, September 12th, 2007

So Wednesday’s here again and I think it’s time for another video.
This one’s called “Life’s What You Make It”, by the English band Talk Talk. This dates back to 1986 and is from the album “The Colour Of Spring”.

Baby, life’s what you make it
Can’t escape it
Baby, yesterday’s favorite
Don’t you hate it
Baby, life’s what you make [...]
