The Prison

Saturday, May 28th, 2005

Part I—The Prisoner
The prisoner shook the door of solitary cell. The noise echoed only a short way down the hall to either side.
“Hello!?” The word rang out, traveling no further than the sounds of the shaking door. “Guards? Anyone?” The prisoner pleaded for a reply, for a voice, [...]

I Have Embraced The Rain

Thursday, May 26th, 2005

After weeks of it invading every area of my life, my mind has snapped. I now, wholeheartedly embrace the rain. The rain is my new best friend. Overcoming barriers that I had previously established, the rain has invaded my personal space and garnered my affection. In Psychology class I learned that [...]

Spring Is In The Air!

Wednesday, May 25th, 2005

Apparently ’spring’ is synonymous with ‘rain’. We’ve had nothing but for over a week and are looking at more of the same for the next week or so.
I’ve had a little writing spree, so I should have a new short story to publish by the end of this week or the beginning of next. [...]

Shadowmancer Review

Tuesday, May 24th, 2005

Shadowmancer by G.P. Taylor is a horrendous book. While his subject matter certainly had potential, the man is a horrible writer. Taylor rushes through the book when the background and subject matter require more detail and explanation. He has great potential in the book for some excellent descriptive writing, but ruins it [...]

What’s Your Most Haunting Childhood Memory?

Wednesday, May 18th, 2005

I’m not a very haunted person. Nowadays almost nothing scares me. As a child I had a few frightening experiences, but I don’t think I can honestly say I have “haunting” memories.
I remember being a little kid and having to walk outside at night. That was scary. In my hometown I [...]

Double Standards

Friday, May 13th, 2005

How come if a guy wears pants that are too short people ask him when the flood is coming, but if a woman wears pants that are too short people call them “culottes”?
I say: “Women…when is the flood coming? You paid a lot of money for a pair of unfinished pants.”

Roger’s Edits of the New Theme

Thursday, May 12th, 2005

Things started out really messed up when I switched to the new typewriter theme. I like the typewriter theme because Monkey News and Qwert Yuppy all began on a typewriter. Here’s what I need to tweak:
* Title needs to move out from overlapping the typewriter. Needs to shift to the left.–DONE
* Menu [...]

Mother’s Day

Tuesday, May 10th, 2005

My mother and I are friends. She was young when she had me, too young to have a child really. When you are sixteen you should be enjoying high school…or at least trying not to make too many social blunders, depending on what type personality you have.
We went out for Mother’s Day last [...]

Since We Last Met

Monday, May 9th, 2005

Now that sounds like a good name for a poem! I even have the perfect way I could use it…(enough thinking while typing).
Since finals have been over I have
1) Started a new, full-time job still in registration at the hospital. I’m currently training in the Emergency Department, which is rather fun. Every [...]
