PS My Cat Is Dead
Just to keep the narrative intact, my catfriend I posted about in April has passed on, at the end of May. His name was Kreskjn, he was my friend and I miss him.

I want a drink.
I want a drink.
And a cigarette.
I want to sit in a mostly dark room, a cigarette in one hand, a glass in the other. Depeche Mode or The Cure playing on... Alexa these days, I guess. The cd player boom box. Maybe the dvd player, attached to a tv, the music coming out of a speaker built for sitcoms or the news, not music.
I listen to the music. These ( Read more... ) -
Happy Birthday to Me
Going to attempt to blog everyday for the next 365 days. A chronicle of my 55th year. Most posts will be public. Some will be friends only, a few will probably be me only.
Today looks like itll be in the 90°s.
My birthday started at 12:01 in the Emergency Room in Woodstock. Perry (has a situation) and it had to be dealt with. It was dealt with better ( Read more... ) -
Donk Donk.
My name is Clay and I have a problem.
I'm addicted to Law & Order: SVU.
I watch three or four episodes a night. Sometimes as many as five.
I used to drink.
I'd sit at the bar, after work, and drink until last call. I drank pretty slowly, reading a book or watching whatever was on the television.
I haven't had a drink in a while.
A long while.
I'd binge ( Read more... ) -

I think I'm going to try and do most of my media in the morning. Blogging, socials, etc.
I'm up before everyone else, aside from the cats, so it seems workable.
In the last week, the only thing I've managed to do consistently is take my vitamins.
I stumbled a couple of times with "make the bed" and on Thanksgiving and Black Friday I spent... 62 hours ( Read more... ) -

I think perhaps I may be 'depressed'. Lowercase, with quotes. There's a scale. Depressed is not 'Depressed' which in turn is not 'depressed.' As much as I hate the phrase "if you know, you know."
Yesterday was Thanksgiving. I did not view either of my annual videos, WKRP Turkey Drop or "Eat Me" from Addams Family Values. I just... didn't care.
I've ( Read more... ) -

Back to LJ. I've been off course lately, and it's time to correct.
I've got a plan, and part of that is being accountable to myself- part of that is this blog.
The core things to the Plan are reading more, a minimum of fifty pages a day, listening to something new- Brian Eno is going to be my first artist, a new album every night. Thanks to Alexa, ( Read more... ) -
She is going to break my heart.
I'm reading the graphic novel Animosity.
One day, animals become aware and vocal. A dog seeks to protect his girl in the ensuing chaos.
Pretty simple description for this tragic, beautiful story.
Along the way, they encounter others, and the most enduring in their band are a bison named B- (her name charges as she feels like but it always begins with ( Read more... ) -
Dream
I was working for my first boss J. She'd reopened her store in a mall. Multiple entrances, one that rolled down. Closing time, had to chase stragglers out. One was there to see me- we'd gone to college together and she wanted to know if we'd be doing readings.
I took her info and said Id let her know.
There was a family still in the store, friends of ( Read more... )
