Dizzy

My boss took me to emergency yesterday.  I have a bad infection.  The pressure basically made my head explode.  So now I have a blown eardrum.

The good news is that my job paid for all the medical expenses and today off.  The bad news is I could get to see the Avengers.  I made it an eighth of the way there and realized I was a hazard on the road.  I can’t even walk in a straight line.  So I’ve…

Bleeding

Started bleeding from my ears and nose today at work.  I guess I have the day off tomorrow. Avengers here I come.

MIA

I’ve been missing in action for a while now.  In what started as a lazecation, turned into a full on stop-before- you- break.  This was mostly spurred on by taxes, which I ended up filling an extension for the first time ever.  And also for the first time ever, I owe taxes.  About $700. The irony that I’ve been struggling to make ends meet all year and now this, is not lost on me.  But I’m not…

Season's End

Season’s End

With the TV season coming to an end, and everyone jumping on the speculation bandwagon, I thought I’d break out my own jump-to-conclusions mat.  So here is where I think the shows I watch are going, or where they should go if I was in control.

Also, have you noticed how people have stopped spoiler alerting?  In this day and age, with Hulu showing episodes a week later, and people binge watching,…

Every Monday I do laundry at the laundromat.

Yesterday was no different.  As I lugged my bag from the car to the washers, I watched a homeless man undress and shove his clothes into a machine.  I had seen him do this before, though was almost so distracted that I nearly missed the sound of sprinkling water.  When I looked down I saw two toddlers, a boy and a girl, the boy was peeing outside the…

Man, Woman, Author

A few weeks ago, while I was at the library I came across a book.  The Night Gwen Stacy Died by Sarah Bruni.  The title alone was enough to entice me (Gwen Stacy being Spider-Man’s first girlfriend), and admittedly I only glanced at the back-cover-blurb.  Well, I attempted to read the book, getting about 2/3rds of the way in.  To be polite I’ll leave my actual opinion of the book out, but I will…

Now I'm 35

Slowly but surely, over the last several months I’ve been getting old.  So, now that I’m 35 years old these are my new realities.

I work with a 21-year-old, who in my mind I call a kid.

Sometimes the kid at work will jump on a cart and roll around the concrete floors.  I imagine him falling and then think to myself, “He’s going to give me a heart attack.”

Growing facial hair is no longer hip or…

5 Things that make me irrationally annoyed

Knowing full well that some of you may be culprits, here we go:

People who have to reverse into parking spaces.  Exception: Big truck, except in urban California; UNEXEPTABLE!  You are not a getaway driver.  You will not need to take off at a moment’s notice.  And I’m tired of waiting for you to park.  Worse, is people who reverse into diagonal parking.  It’s designed to for easy entrance and…

Self-fulfilling Prophecies

A Lesson in the Dark

Nearly in every relationship I’ve been in I’ve been accused of creating self-fulfilling prophecies.  So, I was bemused when the power went out Sunday at 3pm.

The week before I had come up with a plan to get me back into creativity.  I was going to bore myself.  This entailed not drinking and no TV.  And for some very long nights I stared at the wall.  But when Friday came, I began to feel the…

A Bit of a Ghost Story

Now that Absolute Power has been out for a while, I’d like share the inspiration for the character of Colonel John Porter.

See, like most people, I dream.

Once upon I had a dream.  I dreamed that I was standing on the muddy ground of a jungle.  The large green leaves swaying against the rain.  Then a small group of men came trudging toward me through the knee high water.  In the lead was a man,…
