I managed to get out and shoot my bow today.

I'm so out of practice. I haven't shot in several months. I really haven't shot regularly in a few years.

It feels good to get out and do something that I love.

Also, I've decided to actually hunt with my bow.

I'm going to try to hunt dove with a bow.

The first time I...

I am in love.

It's not with a woman.

Nor is it a man, or any earthly being.

The night sky is my love. She always has been.

I remember spotting the Big Dipper for the first time out of the window of a station wagon when I was maybe 6 years old.

I remember seeing Orion's Belt (and then the rest of him) while...

Since there's nothing new going on with me I'm going to make some suggestions of what you can do with your free time. (Idle hands are the devil's playpen, or something...)

For example, you could:


Watch a movie - I recommend Wild Zero. It's the best Japanese Rock n' Roll zombie movie ever and you should be ashamed of yourself for not having seen...

Hmmm...

Nothing new to report today. This week's been the same as the last several. Work, sleep, kill...

Sometimes I feel like I'm in a rut.

Anyway, I did manage to read Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas by Tom Robbins. It's a pretty damn good book. The story took me a little while to get into, but Robbins' writing is hard to put down, so...

If you're a fan of the weird and perverted (and if you're not, what the hell are you doing here?) or if you're a fan of Warren Ellis you need to go out and find this book.

I just finished watching season 3 of Deadwood. Everything I read sounds like Al Swearengen is speaking it out loud in my head.

If that last sentence doesn't make a whole lot of sense, it's because I've drunk a fifth of sake while watching the last three episodes of Deadwood. Forgive my incoherence, I'm a bit of a drunkard.

It happens...

Anyway...

A friend's getting married this weekend. Bachelor party tonight. There may be shenanigans. Or at least some sort of mischief.

Also...booze.

Do not expect anything resembling coherence or rational thought from me until at least Tuesday.

That is all.

I saw Transformers today (well, Saturday...) and it was hella awesome! Go watch it. Go...Now!

I can't believe I never listened to Hum before... What the hell is wrong with me? I'd never even heard of them until about 8 months ago. Then a friend suggested I check them out (I should have listened to her). But it wasn't until I ran across a video...
