The new one. It is adapted from a piece I wrote approximately five years ago, about Jeannie and whether she might possibly think I’m God. So instead of including the new script, I’m just gonna link the old one; some alterations have been made, but it’s roughly the same story.

Well, this is it. My last-ever post from 1324. Everything is packed up except for a very few things in my closet, most of which will be thrown away, and my posters. So I’ll be back once more tonight, but I’m taking the computer now.
I’m gonna kind of miss this little place. I mean, the windows don’t open, and there are no drawers in the kitchen, ( Read more... )

Well, I’m still planning on moving back home at the end of the summer. I’m a little nervous about that, but not too much. It may have been a hasty decision, maybe an unwise decision, but you know me. Once I’ve made a decision I just stop thinking about it and take what comes. I wish, though, that I was more sure that I’ll have the money required in ( Read more... )

I’ve been to the grocery. They sell pie tins and cookie sheets, but no pans. I’ve been to the dollar store. They ( Read more... )

“I saw a rat in the alley the other night,” I said. “I told him, ‘Brother, you have come to the wrong place. Too many stray cats right in here for you.’”

Amy and I took Rosie on her maiden voyage tonight. We didn't go anywhere in particular. We just went up Fifth Street Hill and then kept on going. We drove for hours, down winding backcountry roads ( Read more... )

So, I headed out of my apartment on Monday to go to work. ( and found a scene of wondrous destruction (pictures below cut) )

I made a small detour on the way to work today. I had a Netflix movie to return, so instead of walking straight down 4 ½ Alley I veered over and stopped by the mailbox nearest my apartment, at the corner of 4th Avenue and 14th Street. But as I approached, I couldn’t see it. I thought, “They couldn’t have removed that mailbox, could they? It’s the ( Read more... )
