The Engineer Revealed

Went to cook dinner tonight and I realized I didn’t have any aluminum foil. Rather than be hungry, I came up with a solution. My food was goddamn delicious.

We Are Live

Hello from the Bernheim Mansion.  This place is sweet and I’ve just about got the apartment the way I want it.  Pics in a couple days. Oh, and I can ride my bike to UofL, takes about 5 minutes.  I couldn’t find a parking space and walk from the lot that quick!

An Exemplar of “zZz…”

It’s amazing how quickly 36 hours turns into 20 turns into 10, especially when there’s a lot of stuff to be done.  But against all odds, just about everything is loaded up.  I still have some boxing up to do, but the hard work is over.  For this half, anyway.  The other half starts in [...]

Uneasy Rider

With less than 36 hours to the move I have to say…holy crap I still have a ton of stuff to do. And I’m getting sick. And I may or may not sleep tonight. Or tomorrow night.

Wakeup Call

So things were going just a little too well as the days closed to the move.  I just hit a raccoon and my radiator appears to be shot, though it’s hard to tell with no light.  Taking it to the dealer tomorrow and hoping they can get it fixed Thursday or Friday at the latest. [...]

Coming Clean

With six days to the move I find myself awake, after three hours of what would be best described as a full body shutdown.  The stress, the frantic running around, the bureaucratic shuffle with UofL, it all caught up with me today, during my last day of work at the Office Depot in Paducah.  I [...]

My New Place

Isn’t that the most ridiculous thing you’ve seen in your life? Maybe not, but considering it’s me? Thought so. Here’s a little history lesson for you, the Bernheim Mansion (above, obv.) This fine example of Richardsonian Romanesque architecture was built in 1893 and contains over 8,000 square feet of exotic woods and interesting woodwork. This [...]

Dear Insomnia

This is bullshit. This has to stop. I just want to go to bed! It’s not all about you, whether you think so or not. I have very important things to do in the morning that extend beyond “sleepin’”. And I realize it’s sudden, changing my mind after a week or 10 days. But I [...]

Stranger Things Have Happened

Goddamn this dusty room This hazy afternoon I’m breathing in this silence Like never before This feeling that I get This one last cigarette As I lay awake And wait for you to come through the door Oh maybe, maybe, maybe I can share it with you I behave, I behave, I behave So I [...]

Western Kentucky Parkway blows.

So up at 7 in the morning, work from 8:30 to 5:30, and then I get to get in my car and drive to Louisville. That’s a four hour drive and change of time zone for those that don’t know the location. So I’m sort of tired, go figure. Hopefully this trip will clear up [...]
