Today feels like it's going a little too fast, but I am hanging on.

It is with some degree of trepidation that I mention the existence of my writing journal, smokeandgranite. Peruse if you wish but be forewarned that it is chock full of unpolished freewrites. Also it makes bad friending material because I have no intention of employing lj cuts. I would love ( Read more... )

GRARGH!
Damned Lj ate my post.
Upshot- can't study for today's quiz because prof didn't put up notes like he said he would. can't do assignment for computer because it requires a book that I didn't bring with me today. kind of a fitting end to this week. Not exactly a shining example of my academic prowess.

Burned the shit out of my finger the other ( Read more... )

 Good night.

Not goodnight, as in a fare well, but a genuinely good night.

I am more lucky than I can account simply by being surrounded by my fiancee Christine, my roommate Alisha, and my good friend and adopted little brother Mike.

Good Night indeed. 

 contemplating writing a paper discussing the pros and cons of our government contracting private military firms ala Blackwater (which is apparently called Xe now) Blackwater is kind of scary. They have developed their own goddamned APC for Christ's sake. Praetorian Guard, anyone? The shit of this is that this paper is intended to be as unbiased as ( Read more... )

Cogitating on how to make a hunter game work long term. And more and more I really like the new WoD cosmology, where the various things that go bump in the night are more or less in competition for the same resources and are no longer KOS. Definitely don't want to go the Hunter the Vigil direction though, I'd like my PCs to have a bit more oomph ( Read more... )

 Went on a awesome little hike this morning. It was a little chill and drizzly but exceedingly pleasant nonetheless. And the vegetarian sandwich thingies hit the spot like no other. food is better after a hike. I really love Flagstaff. I think I will love it more the more I get out into the wilderness. 10 minutes from our house you can pick up the ( Read more... )

Ah, settled back into my boring ass computer class again. It's funny to glance around and see no less than half of the kids on facebook or whatever their drug of choice is. I feel good about school today. I think I needed the impromtu break that I took last week whilst Josh was in town ( Read more... )

 Ahhhhh, returning to the fine tradition of using lj to put off writing a paper.

My paper is an analysis of the character archetype 'hooker with a heart of gold' (Think Pretty Woman etc), I'd I would avidly welcome any and all thoughts on the subject. This is an informal analysis, so I might (with permission of course) even quote you in the paper ( Read more... )

 omgholyshit BLITZKRIEG SEATTLE TRIP!
If you're free tonight post midnight give a call and come have a beer in Capitol Hill. We leave in the morning. There are good reasons.

Really looking forward to this road trip, I feel the weight of unborn stories hanging in the not too distant future, pressing against the walls of time just waiting to be birthed ( Read more... )
