This fucking heat really attacked us from out of nowhere here in NYC. I don't ever remember it being this hot THIS early in June....isn't it technically still Spring???? "They" say it's supposed to break tomorrow....hopefully "they" are right.....This coming Friday is June 13th....Jason Voorhees' birthday...so I advise all of you to stay away from ( Read more... )

Over the past year or so things have been going relatively good for me...particularly over the last 3 months...I don't care to get into the specific details(since it partly involves finances)...I think there should be some degree of privacy...and I NEVER discuss finances w/ anyone...nothing good can ever come of it....But this is all beside the ( Read more... )

I'm currently reading Hubert Selby Jr.'s novel, "Last Exit to Brooklyn." Selby, as many of you may know wrote the novel, "Requiem for a Dream", which was much later adapted into one of my all time favorite films under the brilliant directing of Darren Aranovsky. Last Exit, though I am only about three quarters of the way through, is quite possibly ( Read more... )

I know I wrote on here last year that the completion of the Dark Tower series would be "it" for me and King's fiction, having believed he wrapped it up and said everything he had to say. But I got a FREE ADVANCED copy of "Duma Key" from work and it was too much to resist. Let me say that ( Read more... )

Wow, it is brutal outside. The sky is like a frozen lake that has cracked and the broken shards are raining cold death on us. So much for going into work today to pick up some overtime. Ah, that was a pipedream anway, who am I kidding? Besides, I've been going in 2 hours early everyday anyway. Not to mention that I have a week's work of laundry to ( Read more... )

Not much to note of last week's vacation and the holiday. Can't rave...can't complain. Tomorrow night is Lamb of God and Devildriver at the Hammerstein Ballroon....I'm uber-psyched for this one. The only thing is I have to work an early shift, which entails getting my sorry ass up at 5:00am....I shall be useless by the end of the night. Hope it's ( Read more... )

Cripes it is nasty out!!! I just got back from walking to the bank and I'm damn near soaked even though I had an umbrella. The winds have to be around 40 miles an hour!! Ironically, the song that was playing on my ipod as I trudged through the park was Pantera's "Floods ( Read more... )

A very happy and healthy Samhain to one and all. This is by far my favorite holiday and my favorite time of year. The weather is comfortable; we are finally free of summer's oppressive humidity and the punishing cold and smothering frost of winter are yet to punish us. The dying leaves look like flames as they fall from the trees and begin to ( Read more... )

I have some vacation time coming up that I have to use by January, so I put in for the week of vacation. Daniel our Resource Manager says it shouldn't be a problem. Not that I have plans(or money) to go anywhere!! In fact, I shudder to think what I will do w/ the time(I think we all have a pretty good idea of what I mean ( Read more... )
