Release the Bats!!

I'm sitting at my desk, smoking a joint, and listening to The Birthday Party; it's a really great combo. I just started listening to The Birthday Party, Nick Cave is a powerful singer. The song "She's Hit" is wicked; the whole song is lead by Cave hardly singing and backed by intense, haunting music. Check it out if you have a soul, and are into post-punk.
I woke up extra early today in order to go to work. It was seven o'clock, I had my cereal and coffee, and I just put on an episode of Strangers With Candy to watch while I ate. I wasn't five minutes into the show when my dad pokes his head into the door and tells me not to come in today.
"We'll get 'em tomorrow" he says as he shuts the door, now officially departing for this working day. It's snowing and very slippery out so he didn't want me to risk it. I'm okay with not going in today. Don't really know what I'm going to do today; I'd like to get some reading done and play more Chrono Crusade. We'll see.

God knows I've Got To Live Mine

Haven't written anything on this for a while.

I've been switching between books a lot lately. My "primary" book has been "The Once and Future King" by T.H. White. It's really enjoyable, and I like that I'm finally reading a book in the Arthurian Legend. I've only got through the first three books; my favorite so far has been the third, "The Ill-Made Knight." The one where Lancelot shows up and screws Guenevere. In between reading that I've taken to brushing up on Lovecraft. I just finished his novella "At the Mountains of Madness" which is really engrossing. "The Dunwich Horror" is still my favorite Lovecraft story. Been making my way through two comic series as well: "Buffy Season Eight" and "Chrono Crusade." The former is a continuation of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" T.V. show, and the latter is a manga. Both are pretty enjoyable, although the Buffy comic is a tad disappointing.


After a break in working, I've taken up to running a CNC again. Still working for Dad, but I have the possibility to be earning a real paycheck soon. Interesting...


Video games! The new Pokemon games come out soon, and I'm beyond excited. Introducing more new Pokemon than any other generation? I'm all about that; I already preordered my copy of White. Started playing Chrono Trigger, and I'm really enjoying it. I love NES-SNES era RPGs.


I'm never any good at concluding shit, so I'll just say good-bye.
