What's On The Auction Block?

I can never seem to go to sleep while it's dark outside, ever, I think I'm just going to try to stay awake for the day and try to go to sleep tonight.

I've just been sitting around since Billy and my sister went to sleep at around three. I read a few pages from Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, which I'm slowly making my way through, also read the first five issues of Gilbert Hernandez's new work Speak of the Devil, it's quite good, but had a quick switch in the middle of the story that was really unexpected. I'm about to start reading some of the beginning issues of he and his brother Jaime's most famous work Love and Rockets.

When Billy wakes up we're going to watch Stranger's with Candy and look for houses on the West Side because they're fucking cheap and ghetto as hell. Hopefully we'll be able to find one that we can agree on so we can get our own place soon. I need to fill out some more job applications today as well... It's going to be a mostly work day which should keep me awake.

I think I'm going to go take a shower in a minute and maybe eat something, since I didn't eat anything yesterday on account of waking up at six at night.

Conjuring Up Concrete.

I'm finally back, after three weeks I'm back in the Ville. It's nice to be back.

A couple of things have changed since I was last here; we got a new kitten named Norma, she's tiny and a feisty bitch, got a new computer chair, wi-fi internet, a new Batman action figure from some friends of mine. Little things.

I need to get a job now. I'm going to put in applications to Sitel, Hastings, and a few other places over the next few days. I'm also talking to Billy about getting our own place, which would be awesome, so I'm going to start searching the papers after I get a job.

I also think I'm going to go to RSU for my basics next year instead of moving to a new place my first year of college.

The lost children are comrades to the little birds that have infiltrated these lands.

Yesterday was pretty good, it's been one of the first good days in a while.

It was Kirsten's birthday, she's now officially 2.1 decades old. We didn't really have much of a party, just kind of a hang out thing with friends. Gifts, little food, the like. I got her Harriet the Spy because she loves that movie. We also went and did our daily book reading at the local Hastings because we're both broke. At dinner I was told that most of the kids I spend my days with haven't seen me eat since I've been here... What the hell? I have eaten, I just have a weird thing about having people see me eat, the idea of it just weirds me out.

We also got a retarded stoner prank pulled on us tonight. Who the fuck leaves twenty pairs of sunglasses and little marshmallows on the ground outside the house and thinks that's a prank, seriously. But we got the kid who did it to clean up his own mess... so prank didn't work out as well as he'd planned.

Now I'm the only one awake, and I've been in between surfing the internet and being scared by the original Fatal Frame... just because it doesn't have the best graphics doesn't mean it's not scary as fuck... immersion!

Well, I'm done with this... I can't write anything anymore... Hopefully I'll be home soon... I hate the Comanche County Police Department.

Superflat!

Tonight I really just needed something that I could watch that would make me feel good. Something weird and fantastic, possibly even insane... and I found it in the works of Tatsuyuki Tanaka.

First, I watched this really awesome little short film collection called Digital Juice, it was really weird and hard to describe... half the time I didn't know what was going on. I give it a 7.5 out of 10 for being good but not super great or anything.

Then, I watched Eternal Family, it sounds kind of normal but read this synopsis I stole from Anime News Network and you'll see that it is not: It started as a sociological experiment. 6 different people were brainwashed to think that they were a family and then put in arbitrary situations to see how they would react. However, when a taping of the families conducts is sold in a desperate attempt to make a little capital it instantly becomes a success. Now the family is a first rated show and their every move is broadcasted around the world without them knowing it. But when a clogged toilet sets off a chain of events that ultimately frees the family from the room they are confined in the broadcasters, not willing to lose their source of income, set out to hunt down and recapture every member of the Eternal family.
Gets an 8.5 for being pretty fucking awesome.

Oh yeah, I've also started re-watching Paranoia Agent. I feel better now.

God Damn Those Drawings.

I'm haven't written anything in a while, atleast for me. But I haven't had anything I really care to tell anyone about happen in my life recently.

I really just want to go home. I think I might need to cry... It was good for two weeks but it's kind of gone down the toilet, we all have our problems and they aren't meshing as well as they usually do.

I wish the Lawton police would hurry up so I can go home.

(This is really disjointed but a lot of things are happening that I don't want to talk about.)

The Old Familiar Stain

This day is just plain annoying. There's no other way to describe it.

I'm tired of trying to mediate things that I can't really help because both of the people who need mediating have such opposing views. I'm sick of couples who are in the constant cycle of fight, love, fight, love, fight. I really just want to sleep right now.

Tomorrow will be better.

Hermann Hesse the Dog has become like my best animal friend, I need to find a way to convince the family to let me keep him in the house until I move, then I'll take him with me. He's in the backyard of the house I'm staying at for four more days, with it's broken gate, and the wind... hiding under a turned over couch because he's afraid of the inside of this house, mainly because of the cat. It's kind of a sad thing to do with the most loyal dog ever, only two days and he already follows me everywhere.

Ummm... I really don't have anything to say. I been feeling kind of sick all night... I think I need bed rest... on the couch.

Hermann Hesse the Dog

Today, we found the most beautiful little puppy I have ever seen, just adventuring around the neighborhood. We invited him over, served him some water, ham, and pet food and now he is in the back yard, being the most adorable thing I have ever seen. He appears to be a Dachshund/Beagle mix.

We're trying to find a home for him now. I can't take him because of my cats. We need a home so we don't have to take him to the pound.

He's a good dog. Well taken care of coat, good teeth, doesn't bark, loves people, everything a dog owner would want. I hope to find someone before we have to send him to the SPCA.

Oh, and his name is Hermann Hesse, hence the title.
