(experiment from a couple of days ago to transcribe a dream--or rather, that efferevescent portion retained upon waking--into my Palm Pilot):
Dream-thing
Columbine style situation
herded into a classroom with a hell of a lot of scared students
savage but strangely sympathetic pair of gunmen
they are laughing but scared
long & ragged dark hair
beards?
They ask a question
might have been

it's been awhile.
haven't been on the computer much, except for email.
I've been plucking away at the guitar, making glacial, incremental progress--last night I, don't ask me how, slept on one of my fingers wrong--one of the IMPORTANT ones, it turns out--& it just won't move the way I ask it to & just sits there, throbbing.
started my fourth year at the Prison....

Cats are the best.
jes' need to vent for a paragraph or 2.
in every job I've held (& there've been more than a few) one (cliched) constant has been that "the job wouldn't be too bad if it weren't for x"--with x standing for a group of people with whom one has constant contact & dealings with.
in various food service or retail jobs it was "customers". in...

Long time no post, uh? I hope it's not weird shit that's snowing around you right now, and you'll enjoy a very white Christmas (or at least a black & white one? if not a J&B one?)

Happy New Year!
I've missed regularly reading your journal entries. Always fascinating.

got an 800$ traffic tonight.
eight hundred dollars.
(was I drunk? you might ask. well, yeah, kinda, but that didn't enter into the proceedings.)
the citation was, in fact, for lead-footing it at 35 mph. in a 25 mph. zone.
the cop was somewhat sympathetic & wrote on the ticket that I was actually doing 30 mph.
which brought my ticket down to:

Wow. I'm sorry, if you have the coverage but didn't have the proof does the ticket still stick?
back on-line.
sort of.
I've been having problems lately with memory, freezing up, viruses, & what-not. also, my computer was acting up.
anyway, I took it (the computer) into my local computer repair place-slash-Bible school (it's a small town) & asked the technician/pastor if he could run a diagnostic.
he said that he could, & would, & mentioned that he could upgrade my computer &...

major chunk of uncertainty about my upcoming vacation has solidified.
I'm going to the RNC in New York!
the sort-of-plan is that I'll go to Madison WI next week, meet up with galfriend, & we'll join up with a convoy of protesters who've rented a trio of buses going NYC-way.
however, I'd also like to be accompanied by another galfriend working near Reno. I told...

stupid netflix.
no, stupid ratsonjulia, I guess.
I've been paying the membership fee (which was hiked a couple of months ago) & have gotten quite a few great movies thru it. (& in this town it's pretty much the only way to see, on DVD a non-blockbuster movie made after 2000. or any sort of movie made before then.

another old piece I just recently came across. I'd been drinking a beer & reading coverage in USA Today of a golf tournament & was struck by a few passages in the description of the course that seemed almost poetic. by the third beer I'd pretty much had this written & then promptly forgot about, but it ain't bad, if I do say so myself....

good news: a neighbor may have spotted Flopper (my missing cat) the night before last.
bad news: my step-father was sentenced to the pokey for 45 days. (long story that I don't know yet--I'll find out what the hell is going on in a few days)
good news: I was supposed to do jury duty in a couple days but it's been cancelled.
bad news:...
