A quiet day, dear reader.  But there’s a lot going on.

I don’t think it’s true for the rest of Anhedonia County, but the good people of Fecal Creek, CA drive like absolute dildos.  Mother of fuck!  These people stop for green lights!  Things like merge lanes are simply unmanageable for these cretins.  And I am learning to absolutely dread any trip that takes me through the center of town and the one inexplicable roundabout…these people go completely to pieces.  Oftentimes, they get so confused and scared and frustrated that they just slam on the brakes, shove it into Park, and walk away.  Usually only to be mowed down by one of their neighbors that actually understands how roundabouts work.

‘Sup, Reader.  I took a couple days off (inasmuch as I “take days off”).  All is well.  But there is writing to do and there are asses to kick.  Back to it tomorrow.

I’m on a project right now that’s keeping me pretty busy, but that should be alleviating soon.  Officially not going to Tijuana again this year…situation at the border is beyond fucked.  Going to have to raise hell closer to home.  Again.  Dammit.

I had high hopes for this weekend, Dear Reader, but those hopes did not come to pass.  Too much life happening.  Alas.  Still managed to get into a little bit of trouble, though.  Totally worth it.

What’s going on, Dear Reader?  I’m all out of sorts.  For myriad reasons, but also for no good reason at all.  I think I just need to learn to get more enjoyment out of life.  I need to get back to Tijuana…that’s the only place in the world I can really relax.

N.P.: “Sad But True” – Mexican Institute of Sound, La Perla, Gera MX, Metallica

It was unseasonably gross in The Shed today.  Autumn my ass.  It was ninety-goddamn-six today.  It’s oppressive and depressing and pisses me off.

N.P.: “Snakedance” – Killing Joke

It’s finally fucking Fall, erumpent reader.  The autumnal equinox.  This should be a joyous day, complete with a funeral and subsequent celebration for the death of this blasted summer, but summer apparently hasn’t received the memo that it is no longer welcome.  It’s 95° in The Creek today.  Odious.

N.P.: “The Chamber” – Lenny Kravitz

Things are just weird as hell…I don’t know what’s going on.  I think it’s a full moon…but that wouldn’t explain anything.  Not really.  No…I think my subconscious is pissed off, and it’s throwing a temper tantrum.  I thought we had a pretty direct line of communication, but apparently it feels as if it’s not being heard.  Not sure what to do about that.
When the hell is the McRib™ coming back?  McRib™ makes everything better.

What’s crackin’, Brave Reader…busy as hell in The Creek tonight, writing the two most dangerous books in the world right now.  The pressure is almost unimaginable.  Anyway, I just wanted to say hey.

“Hey,” I said.

Mission accomplished.

N.P.: “Enter Sandman” – Ghost
