Radio cures are all I've got for the Blizzard of '77 lyrics stuck in my head. I think Scheff did it better in Plus Ones, but I can understand it, can you? This has nothing to do with you. Everything to do with resemblances. Everything is connected to everything else. The news flash, just for everyone's sake is that malkhut is malkhut, and that ( Read more... )

I'm about to sit down and play pinochle with my parents. Its a typical Tuesday night, with laundry and the internet. I made a list yesterday. And its a nice one. I think I finally got myself to a point of equilibrium with everything that's been running around since...shit. Mid-October? If 2007 was a bad year, filled with loss and poor choices ( ( Read more... )

What an up and down 4 weeks its been. After I did some painting for Max's film Yellow Rose in Formaldehyde, back on the Saturday before Halloween, I got damn sick. A sinus infection backed me up at work, since I had to take a few days off and have a quiet Halloween, filled with guilt and the lonliness of loss. Jeannine was around though, so that ( Read more... )

You're invited to participate in the newest holiday on the calendar! It is smack dab in between Leif Erikson Day and Columbus Day. Its called "My Family Doesn't Leave The House For Fucking Anything" Day. Celebrate the fact that we've all kept our lives, and mourn the loss of Violet, and my father's velo. My parents are two of the three injured ( Read more... )

It feels great to be finished with the GRE, finally. I'll be rocking out a lot more of the applications this week, and the end is in sight. Soon I'll be on my way to the inevitable waiting period, and time slides towards the Ides of March. That's heavy. Let me try that again ( Read more... )

The 48hr Film Project went well. We pulled Drama as our genre, and we ended up making a contender of a film called "Strikes". Yes, it involves bowling and domestic violence, as I knew you were wondering because like our character, I'm psychic. I'm waiting to hear from our City Producer if we took an award, and then on Wednesday, we'll know ( Read more... )

I just took my first practice test for the GRE! I got a score that was abysmal. For the first time in my life, I did better on the math part than the verbal. No, I will not tell you the scores, but consider it significantly lower than worth paying to take. Thankfully, I still have about 7 weeks to study. The MFA application looms nearer and ( Read more... )

I've narrowed the search for graduate schools to 10, finally. Now I can begin the arduous application process ( Read more... )

Last night, due largely to my efforts at work over the last year, we received the company of the year award. I was decked out in a suit, with my boss and one of our top reps, and we got to hang on to one pretty impressive trophy (with a well endowed Buffalo crowning the top), and be given a nice speech. The speech was so damn nice, I almost had a ( Read more... )
