Club Algiers
Posted Jul 11, 2002
The other day I overheard a co-worker mention the name of a used book store: Club Algiers. I didn't have anything to do today so I looked it up in the phone book and found its address, way over in some residential district of town. It seems a nice old woman converted her house into a book store--kitchen, living room, garage...all of it. I stayed for half an hour, bought some books, and promised to return later once she got more sf/f on the stacks. I'm also secretly working on a way to buy a not-for-sale poster hanging on the door...it's a picture of Einstein and a caption reading "It's not the hairstyle that matters, it's what's under it." See, I have fairly long hair for a male, and people try to give me a hard time about it. This poster would be a good response.

My mind is reeling
Posted Jul 4, 2002
Last night, I had a dream. I dreamt I had been arrested for a crime I had never committed. But I *had* committed the crime in a dream the night before (a dream within a dream). And all this morning, as I was eating breakfast and waiting for the rest of my family to arise, I was wondering: would I come to be arrested today?
By the way, I finished Sophie's World this morning, including the chapter on Freud. Come to think of it, yesterday I was reading the chapters where the characters were musing how the world might be a shadow inside a greater mind...

Happiness
Posted Jun 28, 2002
The journal part of h2g2 is supposed to be a place where the users can post updates on all the things that are going on in their lives. So why don't I use it like that? I didn't when my system if core beliefs was shaken, I didn't when the structure of my family was permanently altered, I didn't when I learned to drive--not even to warn others in the area! But I am going to use the journal for its purpose now to tell everyone about a most happy event in my life.
It seems I'm not good at taking my own advice. A while back, I advised Vidmaster to just forget all about a girl he was having confusion with. "Maybe that is the best advice I can give you, though--staying away from girls, at least romantically." Looking back on that almost makes me laugh out loud. Because now, as you might have guessed, Ex Libris is just hopelessly smiten. And you know what's great? She returns the feeling.
The bad part about all this is that immediately after we had declared our feelings for each other she was whisked off to a place two states away. Luckily, though, we both have web-based email, and we've been making good use of it. Even more luckily, she's returning to Montana in August! I'm planning the biggest 
ever for that day. But until then, the interweb will have to suffice.

Sick, sick, sick
Posted May 2, 2002
I just got over being totally sick. I left school early in the day on Wimpy, then relocated my breakfast to a convenient bucket as soon as I got home. Going promptly to bed, I stayed there pretty solidly for about the next eighteen or nineteen hours--I couldn't get up without wobbling anyway.
This is a great surprise to me. I *never* get sick. Never! I have always taken pride in the fact that my immune system regards invading alien viruses as much of a threat as chicken pox. So when my teeth are falling out from too much chattering and my forehead is getting ready to melt all my hair off, even then I was a little hesitant to take that day off from school. I'm glad I did, though. Otherwise I would have relocated my breakfast to (instead of that handy bucket) Mrs. "Light speed" Upton, my math teacher. And that would not have been a pretty thing.
I missed school on Wibble and Thing (today) but I'm feeling much better now. (Despite whatever my mother says, I think that playing several consecutive hours of Baldur's Gate truly is a way to let the body's natural healing process take over.) I plan on going to work this afternoon and should be attending school tomorrow.
Not so 
anymore,
~Wes
