Thought sketches

Today, Tuesday. Woke up with same pain behind left eye. Made egg & potato scramble, but realized halfway through we were out of eggs. Ate potato scramble. 50 percent delicious.

Today, Tuesday. Finished college last week. Still dreaming about class. Reading "Watchmen," talking like Rorschach as a result. Sorry; will stop in near future.

Today, Tuesday. Now living with uncle and cousin. Uncle is a disabled pessimist with chronic knee pain and accompanying groans; cousin is a 13 year old smart-ass. Love them both, but having trouble adjusting. Lapdog is called Bobo; lower teeth jut out like a pirate's, but Uncle believes he's smiling. Best housemate is a nameless snake. A bit clingy, but warm. Calling him "Bob" for now.

Today, Tuesday. Pretending I'm batman. Waiting as long as possible to take a shower. Not writing. Not yet. Ideas for writing (look for the following this coming week):

*Comic Strip: Melville & Me
Comic strip features Herman Melville and myself sharing an apartment in the 1850s. I am an acclaimed romantic poet; Melville, of course, is failing miserably. Most jokes will consist of philosophical insights by Melville, and childish put-downs by myself.

*Short Story: Failsafe
This is a short story I wrote for a reading a while back, about an astronaut who has to masturbate to save humanity. I'm going to give it a look-over this week and put it up for y'all to enjoy ("y'all" being Me when I later read this blog).

*Other Assorted Bullshit
You know, poems, pieces of stories, pieces of a novel I might/might not be working on... It'll flow. It'll flow.
