Chico News & Review is a local left-wing weekly paper published in the town in which I work. Here's my horoscope for this week. Enjoy ( Read more... )

I had dinner tonight with my great-aunt Betty, her daughter Tara, and her son Sean tonight. My mother, Betty, and I met at my grandfather's funeral and it just so happens she has family out here and so decided to pay us a visit. I found out some wonderful things about my grandpa's side of the family and the man for whom I was named, Daniel ( Read more... )

I forgot that since New Years was on the weekend, we got Monday off. So, today was my first day back at work, but I'm getting ahead of myself. Last night I had the craziest dream -- so much so that I forced myself to get up and write down everything I could remember. The gist of it goes sort of like this. I dreamt that somehow my conciousness ( Read more... )

Made it to FL in one piece. Traveling with Grandma was at once annoying and also nice. Because we had requested wheelchair assistance, we got priority boarding. Unfortunately, however, our flight from Dallas to Ft. Lauderdale landed us the worst seats on the plane and at least 30 people jostled me out of sleeping while making their way to the ( Read more... )

We had a fun little Christmas party at Jonathan's apartment last night. It was mighty fun, the most I've had in a while. Almost everyone I've known and loved in OK was there; there were also some new faces. All-in-all it was a success and the proceeds will go towards Jonathan's tuition which is nice. I'm going back to L-Town today to see the ( Read more... )

My grandpa died Monday night...

::tears::

At least my sister had her baby before his passing. I believe he got to see pictures...

We'll be staying in Oklahoma an extra day for the funeral.

So, this will probably be a pretty long post since I haven't done so in a while. I'll start with an update from home. Paradise High School, in what I consider the best fucking football game I have ever seen -- on any level -- has won the North Section Division 1 title for the second time in 3 years, defeating West Valley and bringing the total ( Read more... )

David (the twelve-year-old) just won his second championship in a row with the Paradise Junior Midgets football team. The high school varsity team is in the playoffs and has a bye week the first round. They will play in the semis next friday and are favorites to win. I love this time of year. It's a shame my Soooners aren't doing so well, but ( Read more... )

Charlize Theron will be starring in AEON FLUX, due to release December 2. This show was one of the best on television at the time it came out. The same production company/artists also did another show about ancient greek culture (can't remember the name), but AEON was the standout. If you ever missed seeing this series, you should find it and ( Read more... )

Something strange happened to me today, and I wouldn't feel right if I didn't come home immediately and put it on (paper). Have you ever been just totally weirded out by something seemingly supernatural -- something you couldn't easily deny was real? Well something like that happened to me today, and while I generally have the same viewpoint as I ( Read more... )
