I'm thinking where is that weather thread to post this. It's drizzling out here and it's right at freezing and the ice that wasalong the sidewalks is melting and refreezing to create a skating rink in the streets. Already the neighbor's son slid and dented a parked car. Thank God it wasn't mine. The temperature is supposed to go up shortly but until then I can't go out and I'm afraaid that some putz is going to slam into my car that is parked in front of the house.
Whoo Hooo Kickin' Mental Detergent arrived!!!
Why the heck am I at work and why the heck would the process crap out today?? Hopefully the quick fixes will work.
You're probably at work because you don't want to burn a vacation day. ;)Quote:

The monitor looks alot like the grid I awoke to three weeks prior in a very different house with a very different woman in a very different situation, and as it grows and fluxes with every word typed, my mind grows, fluxes, then reduxes as if also composed of mere symbolism on a page.
If i soak the page then the ink bleeds, scrambles, and I become useless and a nuisance to the notebook, as well as the vast world of literary critiques at large swarming around the freshest of corpses. They return. Eventually.
But the corpses lead me once again to those nerve receptors left dead from the over heating I'd experienced in those moments of sheer ecstasy, so far and distant from my fingers, and my keyboard, and these words.
The weight of this moment could kill me, but the weight of this year has been strained, retained, and emptied

I wonder how long it will take to get the curiosity going? hummm
i have a lot to do. oh well.
hmm... who'd have thought! :D
I have thought of lots of things today, at times about creativity, at times fighting and other times taking a nap.
Gah. I just had to play Guitar Hero didn't I! I was going to sleep! I have work in like 14 hours! I have much to do in the day!!
Is writing to many writers, more of a mission they feel for themselves or of a pursuit?
Are futile questions cute because of the typified human futility, or simply another ugly trait cultivated in the weak state we NEED to survive this daily dose of ( )?
You know, journals are funny enough as is, but these type things simply... I choke. Tears, laughter, gag. Le gasp!

tireddddd...
Does he realise quand means when?
gah...killer flu...:sick:
:flare::flare::flare:
I hate power cuts. Power was out all day Sunday, due to a blown over hydro pole. This of course means that the sump pump was not working, hence the basement flooded. I had just finished clearing well over 200gallons of water out of the basement with my shop-vac, and was about to start fixing the pump when I discovered that whoever owned this place before me must've tried to install everything himself for cheapness - he connected the sump pump into the sewer instead of the weeping system:crash::crash: Now I will have to either:
a) re-run all the pipes - not a fun job, time consuming & incredibly messing depending how far back I have to go to get the correct start point in the maze of pipes.
or
b) Hire a plumber - money, money, money..........
Oh God, Kilt, that's terrible. You might want to invest in a back up generator for the future. But i certainly don't envy you. I had a flooded basement once and it sucks big time.
Nightshade I was just reading about the killer flu over in Britain. Take care of yourself. It's nothing to take lightly. Fuids, chicken soup and rest. Don't push yourself, it's not worth it.
How fantastically weird that I'm in a different year to many of my fellow lit-netters :D
Why the eff can't I find that book??
Are there book gods out there I can start sucking up to?
Agh! I had that a few days ago! Jut awful! I still hate food. Get better real soon, Nightshade.Quote:

Perhaps I shouldn't have just done that!!!
I know that Nightie, but I was reading an article the other day of a number of people in Britain dying from the flu. I know you were just using an expression.Quote:

A sump pump is a pump which removes water from around the foundation of a building and sends it through a pipe to a weeping tile system. It has a moisture level sensor which automatically switches itself on when necessary. Unfortunately it is powered by the houses electricity panels and so when the power is out no pumping. We had a big rain/wind storm on Sunday which not only brought the rain but melted about a four foot high bank of snow around the house, this would've been ok if the pump had been installed correctly but because it was tied into the sewer system it got backed up causing the place to flood. Luckilly not too much damage but I will have to pull out some dry-wall (gyp-roc board) to prevent the possible onset of any mold.Quote:

I'm thinking that I don't mind this site at all. And I may just stick around.
That I have to do my homework on Leadership and that I have missed a lot on LitNet. :(
