roni's still alive. she just called me. i told her to come home, carefully, and call me when she gets here. she'll stay in the car, i'll grab a couple swords, and i'll sortie to go get her. hopefully we both live. although as i think about it, if this is a long-term situation, we're in trouble anyway. i have two months worth of groceries, ( Read more... )

HOLY CRAP! was looking at news sites and blogs, trying to find something useful, or at least take my mind off all this. and suddenly a very loud THUMP!!! at the door. then another. not like someone was knocking, like somebody was throwing themselves at the door. gave me a fright, because i'd kind of figured on two flights of stairs affording ( Read more... )

just realized something else is bothering me. no gunfire?? i'm in texas! granted it's a relatively quiet and low-crime-ish suburb in texas, but is this not meant to be the gun capital of the world or some such thing? did we fall without firing a shot? or did i miss it while i was at work...not like you ever hear anything from the outside but ( Read more... )

i don't believe it. i do not believe it! i saw it. i took an axe to it, and i STILL don't freaking believe it. ZOMBIES?!?!?!? i know, they don't exist, but what i just saw was doing a damn good imitation ( Read more... )

now i'm reading more about violence and rioting overseas, and apparently DC is having power outages and fires in the subway. of course the article quotes Homeland Security as saying that there is "no link" to terrorism. okay, floods in the midwest, wildfires in california, these are nothing new. power outages in the summer, sure why not. but ( Read more... )

it just keeps getting weirder. haven't been able to really sleep, so i went out to do some grocery shopping. (all night grocery stores, insomniac's paradise.) something stinks out there...the air smells foul. not strongly, but there's a whiff of decay, like something is dead...but it's everywhere. anyway, i got about two months worth of ( Read more... )

i shouldn't even be awake. but i am, and i'm not even sure why. something woke me abruptly, heart pounding. ever have someone bang on your bedroom window while you're sleeping? and start shouting drunken incoherent babble at the top of his lungs? if you haven't, there's no way for me to explain it..if you have, i don't need to. that's what ( Read more... )

i don't what's wrong with me. can't seem to relax, or stop feeling creeped out. well, screw it. gonna go to bed. hope i'll feel better in the morning.

things seem weirder now. as i was doing my laundry i noticed it seems nobody's out and about...even at this hour on a night like tonight there's usually a few people by the pool, one or two dog-walkers...people hanging out and talking...i didn't see anybody. heard some sirens in the distance, a few dogs..even the dogs sound wrong somehow...like ( Read more... )

that was just about the hairiest commute i've had in a long time. i'm used to running a gauntlet of idiots, but they seemed more frantically stupid than usual. almost got nailed three different times, by drivers who seemed not to even see me, even after i honked and flipped them off. coming into the parking lot of my apartment complex i saw a ( Read more... )
