My wife is just now, as we speak, finishing her first week of her new job. Not only is this exciting for her, but it is exciting for me too. Now I no longer am privy to the intimate details of the lives of ten year olds. The other day, we actually had a conversation [...]
For any of you who have not been following the 54 million dollar pants story, this is your lucky day. Because it seems to have finally come to an end, and because
As you may have noticed, Justin and I did a bit of dabbling in fiction these last few days. It all started when I read a post on J’s Notes about “Blog Like It’s the End of the World Day.” It seemed like a fantastic idea as I never write fiction but always talk about [...]
So much for the meetup location. I circled around from the north and found it already occupied by some pretty dirty-looking people who are in no way my friends, so I split before the baby I was carrying could wake up and start making noise. I’m not trying to be misanthropic or antisocial, here, it’s [...]
Well, It was a good liffe. I went to a great university, had a great job, married a great girl, made some great ffriends, and lived in a ffantastic town. There really isn’t much more a guy could ask ffor. Sure, I’ll leave this earthly plane missing out on some things but I’ve got no [...]
And just like that, we’ve become separated. Ross and/or Val: if you’re okay, and you manage to get to the internet in the next few days, here’s where I will meet you. If I don’t see you, I’m going to strike out westward. It wasn’t even a zombie attack that split us up. The whole [...]
Friday: Walked up the tracks for a couple of hours without incident. Clubbed a zombie. Found a nice secluded spot under some large oak trees to spend the night. Spent a cold sleepless night on the ground (I really should have worked on that whole fire by friction thing, some Eagle Scout I am). Saturday: [...]
I guess I’m awake. I doubt anyone’s going to be reading this from Richmond, but I feel some responsibility to keep these posts up as long as I can. If I hear anything gurgle-like at all, though, I’m hitting submit and running for the hills, just like yesterday. Sorry I didn’t get to finish the [...]
About that brains thing? Also, to everyone who said I shouldn’t have bought a wooden bat for protection in the city: you were wrong. But that’s getting ahead of things. After spending some more time on the roof yesterday we decided that if we were going to relocate we needed to do so fast and [...]
I’ve learned some things. Destroy their brains. If you do not do this, they will not die. Don’t let them near your ear. I don’t know how it works exactly, but that’s the only thing I can figure that’s creating more of them. I’m holed up in the Panera Bread on Broad Street. I needed [...]
This mob, while obviously insane with anger, is also LOUD. Like. Really. Loud. Remember that anti-smoking commercial where the guy sings a snappy tune through his stoma? Imagine about forty of that guy — but more gurgly, and you’ll start to get an idea of what my neighborhood’s theme song is of late. Gurgle Gurg [...]
If you have any details about what’s happening in Richmond, let me know or post it here. Something is not cool today. The thing is, I was already freaked out for two reasons. Ross was holed up in his house this morning after rioters started tearing up Grayland Ave. I have not seen a human [...]
Particularly Shooter. Shooter’s job in our family is to let us know when anything is amiss. Outside, inside, under the house, wherever, whenever. So the eruption of barks around 7AM this morning was odd but not unexpected. I assumed the “damn teenagers” were playing their “rap music” or some such. I guess sometimes it is [...]
Last night some sort of animal, possibly dripping with rain and cuteness, found its way under our house or deck. You can read the whole story here. My illustrious wife is convinced that the kitty found its way under our deck and after enough time it will find its way home — probably back to [...]
As I vowed earlier I am continuing to watch every bit of of Star Trek ever created. I got tired of waiting for someone to lend me the DVD’s of ST:VOY and just bittorrented the whole shebang. As we speak I am one third of the way through season three. Kathryn Janeway is such a [...]
