Back from the Twilight Zone

I had a jaunt with the Twilight Zone over the weekend. I'm glad to be back, but boy was that a crazy trip. I've never taken LSD, mushrooms or any other hallucinogens, but I sure felt like I had on Sunday. I guess I felt like I was in a Dahli painting. Life sure can be interesting. I guess that's the understatement of the year!

I finished Sellevision by Augusten Burroughs and Naked by David Sedaris some weeks ago. Both were great. Burroughs first fiction book after his two memoirs did not disappoint. And I really like how witty and funny Sedaris is. So both books were great reads. After those two, I started The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. I decided I needed a really thick book to hold my interest for a time, this one seems to be doing the trick. I saw the movie in film school some years back and remember really liking it. The book is turning out to be a great read. I'm not even halfway through it yet and there have already been many twists and turns.

I finally got a new-to-me computer. Picked it up last week from my friend's where he was installing my old hard drive as a slave drive and putting my old modem on it and some other programs I requested. I love the flat screen monitor the best. It's pretty cool. Now, I just have to make myself sit down and start writing. I guess I could write a little and post some of it here, just to get the 2 people who read this to let me know if it's any good. Or maybe, since it's my first try, I'll just write it and then bury it in my backyard. We shall see.

Taco Tuesday was last night. I haven't had that in a few months. It's fun to buy all the ingredients (yes, veggie taco meat is just as good) and make tacos. It was so yummy. Just what I needed. I suppose I should go to class tonight, as it's been almost a week since I've been. My weekend was very draining and although I was excited to go to class last night, I just wasn't up for it.

I just realized this post is rather boring. Let's see if I have any stories to regayle. Oh, I did see my brother on Sunday. It was the first time in almost 4 years. I cut communications with him almost 4 years ago and a few months ago he emailed me and I agreed to getting back in touch. I don't email him back too much and I don't ever call him, but he calls me from time to time. I guess the main reason he asked me to talk to him again is that he thought he might be getting married to this *cough**dumb**cough* girl and she wanted to get in touch with his parents and me. I emailed with her for a bit, but realized that I would say something really mean soon and just stopped. Her emails were a bit pointless and stupid. Maybe I should copy and paste some of them here, so I can show you how lame she is/was. Anyways, that's a bit of a tangent. So, my brother went to my Mom's this weekend to visit. He called me and tried to get me to meet up with him on Saturday night, but I just couldn't. But I did still go visit my Mom on Sunday, knowing he'd be there. We chatted a bit. It was nice to see him. I still think I'm adopted though.

Not much of a story, I know. I think I'm still trying to get back into the swing of this "real world" life again. I'm glad I didn't go to work on Monday as I think I still was incapable of functioning at a decent level yet.

That's it for me. Over and out. Go read something.
