Blurred Line

Yes, I know it's only 9:30, but I feel myself about to be overtaken by sleepiness, so I thought it best to get a few words in beforehand.

Spent most of the day finishing my last essay. My last essay EVER, no less. Very happy about that. Interestingly, since it was a hot day I had my windows wide open all day and heard sirens close by for a pretty significant portion of the afternoon. When I left to head off to campus to hand in my paper at 5:30, I saw a bunch of fire trucks and police cars about a block and a half away, with parts of the road taped off. We were getting pretty strong gusts of wind here and apparently one of the high rises had its roof blown off and scattered all over the road below. Bet the people on the top floor had a good day.

Spent Saturday night and Sunday afternoon at my roommate's cottage. I'm pretty sure it's one of the best places on Earth. I was sitting on the back porch on Sunday morning, basking in the sunshine, looking out over the water, listening to the birds chirp, and felt happier about life than I had in quite some time.

Also, I plan to participate in the new flash contest over at The Clarity of Night. Last time, I wrote a very grim, very abstract science fiction story. This time...well, my entry's called "Wherein the Author Massages His Ego By Inserting Himself into an Imaginary Scene from Mark Leyner's Et Tu, Babe". Obviously, I'm taking it very seriously this time around.

Lastly, a story I feel desperately needs to be written. I have no ideas yet...just a title - "Scenes From an Epic Space Battle, In Watercolours".
