Bewitchery...

A 'Thing Unlooked For' may have occurred.

In other news... I can feel the clutches of Solis, Demon of Loneliness starting to penetrate my armor. Maybe it's the glimmer of the TUF raising its fetching head. Maybe it's the roommates (very) occasionally having a life, or maybe it's the inevitable emergence from the darkened tunnel. How to fend off the Demon, and whether I can, and whether I should, these all become issues of concern.

Forget it! I will smite the Demon with my Sword of Withdrawal, and use my Shield of Banality to thwart his clawstrokes!!!

Well...maybe I will...

P.S. I was the only person to get an 'A' in my Drawing class! See how well a total lack of natural talent can help you follow directions?

Schedudreaming...

Outside a time
a cry and a thrash
crimson wave curling
bloody sand sticks
handprints become stone
a plate of blue fruit
beckons so yummy
helpless to poison
nibbling me through
a tiny nightmare
in the day.

Delightsicle...

I had a shocking moment in my Drawing (for Dummies) class today. Now, my artistic skills have been likened to your average kindergartener, with extensive use of stick figures predominating and a complete lack of any kind of actual straight lines, so the elementary Drawing class has still seemed to be far too advanced for me. But today, I drew something that was actually recognizable as the thing that I was looking at! The instructor was like, "Exactly! You were sitting on the floor against this wall, looking down the hall." I think my mouth must have literally been hanging open in shock. I guess you can teach an old dog, and all that...

P.S. If I'm that good, maybe I should go get some marble and start chiselling...
