My mother is standing in front of the bathroom mirror smelling polished and ready; like Jean Nate, Dippity Do and the waxy sweetness of lipstick.

Palmerston is not a big town, nor one that can convincingly be said to be at the top of its game.
Vineland by Thomas Pynchon
Later than usual one summer morning in 1984, Zoyd Wheeler drifted awake in sunlight through a creeping fig that hung in the window, with a squadron of blue jays stomping around on the roof.

Online Classes and Work Overload
School and work have caught me completely off guard this week. My latest class is a lot of reading and essay writing (it's only five weeks, so they have to pack in as much work as possible) but I'm keeping up despite the fact that I have virtually no free time when I'm finished. The class is being conducted online, so all "discussion" takes place on a bulletin board type interface (think old-skool BBS's from back in the day). I'm actually liking that aspect of the class because I can really let my writing fly, which is a lot more than I can say for this journal lately. Maybe when I have some free time, I'll post a few of my class entries here sometime just so you can see what you're missing.
