Holding Pattern (waiting to go to France)

Posted by: Reece in Uncategorised  on

The last few weeks have been mostly grey and rainy but finally the sun has come out. It's welcome since the greyness combined with the large amount of abandoned buildings around here has reminded me of the movie of Cormac McCarthy's book, 'The Road'. I've been wondering how many people have been looking at me and wondering how delicious I'd taste.


Family Vacation (the smell in my apartment isn't gone)

Posted by: Reece in Uncategorised  on

Nope - the smell in my apartment isn't gone. One of two things is occurring. The first is that I probably just get used to the smell but if I'm gone for more than twenty four hours I'm no longer used to it so I notice it all over again.

Not So Good Will Hunting

I almost got a job as a custodian at a High School. At first, I was happy to have some permanent work until my visa came through. I thought it might be kind of a Good Will Hunting situation for me. Instead of waiting until class was dismissed to solve problems,  though, I'd burst in during class (any class) and solve problems incorrectly and shout

This year, Daniel Day-Lewis starred in a musical with Fergie and Bob Dylan released a Christmas album. That's a crap year.

 Oh - I think I have the smell in my apartment narrowed down. I don't know what's causing it and I can't say exactly what it is but the epicenter seems to be in the bathroom.

Nobody in real life sing talks so that's what's wrong
