First off, happy birthday, Bela Lugosi!  If you are in the dark, he was the man who took up the mantle of the Count after Max Shreck faded into the obscurity of 1920s German expressionistic cinema.

The new LJ format frustrates me.

Why?  Why you ask?

I shall tell you why....

because they took away my 'Random Search' button.

I read the second to last issue of Lucifer a few moments ago.  It should be known that by a few moments ago, I actualy meant an hour or so ago, when I was going to sleep.  I could not sleep, even though I was tired and planning ( Read more... )

I took a walk to the fountain this morning with a mug of tea and a copy of Smoke and Mirrors.  It was my decision to read aloud to myself for a time, which I did and enjoyed quite thoroughly.  Then, to my great annoyance, the sky had the gall to Rain on me!  Rain!  Can you believe it?  Well, all was well, as it gave me time ( Read more... )

Here I am, back at school, anxiously awaiting the start of classes this Monday.  Well, perhapse anxious isn't the right word.  Easing my way into waiting for is more along the proper lines.  Ricky my roomate seems like the decent sort, a good chap I shall be a friend of.

I'm tired, I don't want to write any more.

I'm not sure I enjoyed driving through that downpour at three thirty in the morning.  There's something about the fog, the sleep, and the hydroplaning that really takes all of the joy out of it.  At least I had the Radiohead to keep me up, and poking snoozing Carmen in the ribs.  That was entertaining.

It's the sort of lightning that's far enough away, it illuminates everything without being harsh.  It is more fantastic than any strobe light, any human effect, it has no equal.  They say it will storm till Saturday afternoon.  Good ( Read more... )

  Oh dear oh dear oh dear!  I left Pride and Prejudice out in the rain!  Thankfully, I'm the sort of sot who would put his paper-backs in a protective leather cover, fully aware that he's very likley to do something such as this.

Fortune of the Day

Confucius Say... "Your skills and talents will be called on in unusual areas."

  I just finished my freshmen year of college.  Just now, a few minutes ago.  I splashed in every puddle on the way back to my room.  I was soaked.

If you like, there will be more later, if I remember!

   
    How do all like my new set-up?  Eh, eh?  See how we have a theme?  See how we have finally bothered to go onto Wikepedia and see what a “cargo cult” is?  Pay no attention to the ad-bar on your screen.  They said that if I didn’t let you see it, they wouldn’t give me triple userpics and customizations.  I had no choice.  They tortured me, ( Read more... )
