Maint Req’d
That’s the message that keeps flashing on the dashboard of my car. Every time I go anywhere, the little flashing light blinks at me. It’s taken on a life of its own, and now it sort of serves as a reminder of a number of things in my life for which maintenance is required.
Obviously, [...]

Today has been the best Monday I’ve had in a while. It was a nice day all around. I even did my part to help fight world hunger. I learned about a really cool website where anyone can go and help the fight against world hunger. It’s called Free Rice.
Their philosophy is based on a [...]

A persistent itch on my head remains even now that the stitches are gone. A strong sense of exhaustion engulfs me still, after an exhausting day yesterday. Together, they serve to bring me to a sort of wakeful state of sleep, or else a sleepy form of awakeness. To the point that “awakeness” is being [...]

Mock trials do more than simulate a real trial for educational purposes for you: they make you dog tired. I have no words to describe the sense of exhaustion I feel as I type this. Robert interpreted all day, and I was the supportive partner on the sidelines, silently cheering him on as well as [...]

Random blog post for Friday night, in the form of an unordered list:
I actually drank coffee this morning. In its proper, hot form, no less. The last time I attempted that, I was drinking that shit black, without any sugar. Not exactly the best way for a total non-coffee drinker to be consuming it, but [...]

In the continuing saga of my sudden and new-found medical sense, I went to the eye doctor today. It’s been a long time coming, really. Basically,I hadn’t had my eyes checked in a good three or four years. I finally learned why my eyes get so blasted tired by half-way through the day, too. Thanks [...]

Here’s to unwanted trips down memory lane. The proclaimed “best” (not by me, mind) years of my life are to become a permanent record. Sort of.
I got a letter in the mail sometime last week from my former high school. It seems the school district in which I was educated as a young lad has [...]

When I got to eat toast with apple jelly this morning (not apple butter, but actual apple jelly), I knew the day was off to a good start. I seriously think apple jelly is one of the greatest things on earth. I went my whole life not knowing about it, and then I took a [...]

I never thought it would be possible to actually hold up a line at a grocery store. But I did it, somehow. It wasn’t really my fault, though. I finally got around to using all those stamps I’d been collecting. I was only three stamps short of getting the square grill pan I wanted.
The deal [...]

The effects of the local anesthetic to my head from yesterday have finally worn off. I didn’t realize, even after being up and moving yesterday, just how much the stuff affected me. Later in the day, I was able to drive okay, but I kept it to a minimum, thankfully. Of course, I only realize [...]
