Space Void!
Great. Just great. Now there’s a hole in the universe.
home, sick
Been home sick for the past few days. Last night i finally went to see a doctor (at the local Urgent Care) and got a couple of prescriptions. Apparently, i’ve got a real crappy sinus infection that’s spreading to my lungs. I let it happen by not going to the doctor, but i honestly just [...]
WWII is so rife with ironies great and bad
i was reading about the new Bryan Singer movie about the July 20 Plot against Hitler, and i found this out: a November 1943 allied bombing destroyed a truckload of new winter uniforms which were to be personally inspected by Hitler. Axel von dem Bussche was to have demonstrated them for Hitler, with two [...]
ceiling still broke
Sunday night
Murray the landlord: “I’ll have a guy come out tomorrow to fix it.”

There’s been an open seam running parallel to the wall right above the sofa, underneath the upstairs bedroom closet. This afternoon, it had suddenly open and torn itself roughly perpendicular, in an ‘L’ [...]

I’d probably have a real itchy trigger finger; blowing character’s heads clean off would cause me to ceaselessly cackle as i wheel about looking [...]
stuff and things
Holly- we went to the ER a couple of weeks back. She’s back on insulin. She’s been really up and down a lot lately. It’s rough for us both, but i can’t imagine having to be her and go through that. She’s getting better, though.
Music- i’ve been making music again. Funny thing is, i started [...]

And i keep hearing his words from right after he took the buyer on a tour through the house: “I really love your dog… if you ever want to get rid of him, let me know, I’d love to have him!”
i am beyond frustrated.
well, there goes that.
I haven’t talked to him yet, but i’m all but certain that my landlord just sold the house that we’re living in. The one we just moved into. The one we had our hearts set on buying. What this really means is anybody’s guess.
See, he just showed the place last week. And just today, the [...]
