Halley's Comet Part 2

The door to his left was shut. On the door hung a plastic sign that said “Principal Atwood.” On his right two middle aged women were filing papers behind a fake wood and orange counter top. “Overridge Elementary School” was printed in gold letters…

Halley's comet

Phillip sat squirming on the edge of the plastic chair. He was finding patterns in the cream colored linoleum that was flecked with brown marks that gave it the effect of something between wood grain and marble. In the markings he saw faces, long…

meme

It's just a question.. but Tony Danza? Who on earth came up with that? It's Memorial Day Weekend. That means nothing will be open tomorrow. I hate that. Not that i'm unmemorialish or anything, just need my options. I'm reading McCollough's…

Pale Fire

If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you; that is the principal difference between dog and man. -Mark Twain People who are often in a hurry imagine they are energetic, when in most cases they are simply…

menorah blues

So i finally cleaned up the apartment. Took all those empty moving boxes down to the dumpster. I figure a month was long enough to put that off. Going thru the boxes i found the weirdest thing in the world, a "looney tunes menorah." It's just…

meet me in... well, you know

Well, I live in St. Louis now. 3rd move in the life of this diary. Nice town. Just about the right size. It's big enough to have plenty to do, but small enough to not have bay area traffic.

things and their attributes

Yay! The olympics are over! What a wonderful day. I've been a zen master at work... just breathing the same air as computers and seeing them spring to life. Speaking of springing to life, or the opposite rather, some guy at work died today. I didn't…

valentino

So it's valentines day eh. hmmrph. This is the first one in my life in which i've "been" with someone. I sent my girl a big box of assorted things - some sweet and sentimental - some just mental. She seemed to take it ok. I'm moving in a couple…

ahm in texas, yeehaw

So... i've spent the last week with the love of my life and just generally hanging out in texas. It's not quite the stereotypical texas of the movies - tho i saw a bit of that yesterday driving out to "Iola" and driving thru "Cut-N-Shoot" Texas.…

and and and and you

It's raining. Gobs of rain thrown from heaven without the slightest regard for my driving safety. People in California can't drive in the rain. Well, anyway... Went to reno to share some time with the love of my life, and now we're in that…

the gospel in other words

Blessed are the spiritually bankrupt; for God will appear when they least expect it. Blessed are those crying their eyes out; for someone is already on the way. Blessed are those quaking in their boots; for promises have been made and they shall be…

something happened

"No particular religion matters, niether ours nor yours. But I want to tell you that something has happened that matters, something that judges you and me, your religion and my religion. A New Creation has occurred, a New Being has appeared; and we…

maundy

what's new? nothing really. my parents cancelled their trip to hawaii today. my mother has always had serious reservations about flying, and today's news pretty much cancelled that idea. so instead they're going somewhere within driving distance of…

permanence and impermanence are not opposites

My dog is staring at me. that's ok. my life has been blurring a bit lately. days running into each other, jostling each other for prime space, hurrying the next day, cutting short the former. I need to find some sort of day job. the job market is…

love cliches

"Perfect love casts out fear..." Inversely then, fear casts out love. It's fear that keeps us from loving others. Fear of our own unlovableness, fear of rejection, fear of what we might do if given half a chance... "Love your neighbor as you love…

went, came back, going again.

Hmm... It's terrible to start entries with brazen onomotapaeia isn't it? I'm not sure if hmm qualifies tho. Anyway, had a boring weekend. I went out to stockton to visit people and such - people and such were around, but i didn't actually do much. I…
