Fumbling

Dear all,

I had a second interview today. Drove to the harbour area where the interview was, and parked my car. I had no change and had to find change and so I did... let's skip this part, it's boring.

I found myself at a crossroads. One that I would eventually have to cross in my life--preferably in the next few minutes because I was running late, which is when the story really starts, I suppose. This is not a metaphor.

You look right, you look left, then right again... and then start walking across looking left, because the last place you looked was right... midway you turn to the right again to see that there's a car that seemed to be coming your direction.

Yes, that car freaked the fuck out of me, causing me to stumble as if I tripped on something, or had a quart of scotch for breakfast, which I did... n't. What kind of fall was it? It was the middle-of-the-street variety, scuffling feet, staggering falteringly, from balls of feet to toes to knees (plural) to hands and chest. Thankfully, my pride broke the fall, lifted me up and out from danger's way.

I have wounds on my knees, and knuckle. That was a real fall--one that I haven't gotten in a long time. Long, long time. Refreshing.

The interview went fine. I told the story to one of the two interviewers but he didn't seem interested, saying how "probably the storm left some things in the middle of the street." I don't think I illustrated the "fall" just right through the use of my tone.


Yours truly,
-Yours truly.

Batman and Storm

Dear all,

There is a storm warning this weekend. In some areas down south: roofs came off, many items scattered, that sort of thing. Here: it was howling winds and vibrating windows.

I stayed home, not that I had anything else to do. I skipped a party in town, but I highly doubt I would have gone if there were not a storm warning anyhow.

Watched Batman, and thought that Joker act was good, but in overall, I feel that there is something lacking in this Batman, however much entertaining it was. You can see how the writers try to make everything come together. The insertion of a more charismatic Rachel felt weird too.

But I really don't want to make this about movie reviews.


Yours truly,
-Yours truly, truly.

Driver

Dear all,

Today had the makings of a good day: I sat for my driving test which was supposed to be last week but that panned out terribly due to my car not being able to start at the most critical of times.

I couldn't sleep the night before the test last week. I couldn't either the night before today. Lying in bed, I think of scenarios, situations, and future. It's more of an imagination thing.

Anyway, I passed the driver's test and have a full license now.

I also watched Get Smart, which I thought was alright. That Anne Hathaway really does it for me. And Love Guru. I snuck into the second movie, and regretted it.


Yours truly,
-Yours truly, truly.

A garden full of tic tacs

Dear all,

It hailed several times yesterday. Sometimes, that happens here. Little icelings fall from the sky to your ground.

At first, it may appear like snow, only heavier. Snow doesn't bounce off objects or make that sound.


Yours truly,
-Yours truly, truly.
