To quote Lionel Ritchie (boy, does that date me!) "Outrageous!". I finished my story about an hour ago. Total page-count for two chapters was 12 pages. The final chapter I wrote in the space of the day. I didn't intend to kill one of the principal characters... thing is, continuity and plot drove me down that path. Plus, the character himself didn't want me to change from this path. Posted by Jeff Boman on Saturday, July 22, 2000 | link me Seymour!
Today, my creativity is running rampant like an out-of-control river.
Early today, I began writing the climactic chapter of In the Eye of the Storm, an original superheroic adventure I created for my comics APA, Comicopia over a year ago. As this'll be the 10th Anniversary special, I want to include both chapters 5 and 6, the climax of the story.
I've already written five pages of it today, and have the entire plot of the chapter mapped out in my head. Only fatigue right now has stopped me from continuing it.
If all works out though, I'll have it done by this evening.

I took my first steps into the domain of stock sharking today.
I have 12 shares of Yahoo! stock, but not having it in an account of some sort just made it paper, nothing more. Today, I went to the Bank of Montreal and created an InvestorLine account for six of my shares.
By early August my account will be fully activated. I hope the value is still growing by then!

Later today starts the Readaptation Center Tango for me. Soon, I'm off to see my Occupational Therapist and Dietician there.
At least I got a lot of writing done yesterday on my Comicopia APAzine last night. Writing for a deadline always helps to revitalize my creativity. The fact that I'm working on my 10th Anniversary issue too helps.

What an exhausting day... I only went out for about an hour-and-a-half - but the heat and the exertion wiped me out.
I ended up napping for an hour within minutes of getting home.

I've been up since 7:30 today. It's a day at home, and I was still up early. Worse, I actually woke up on reflex at 6:30.
Night Owls who start shaping to mornings aren't pleasant to see.

I was hoping to meet up with my friend LC tonight to go see the X-Men movie. Unfortunately, we never connected.
Just as well; I cashed this week's paycheque today. After paying debts, I won't have a lot left for the week.

Today was a wearying day. I only had 3 hours of work to do, 1:30 to 4:30pm - but my transit came half an hour late in the morning.
I brought in my own headset to work today, as the ones a co-worker had lent me, she took with her on vacation. Mine had too short a cable to really use. A shame, since I was trying to listen to Miles Davis' Greatest Hits.

I saw an ear specialist today. It only took him a few minutes to clear out what stuff was keeping me from hearing well on the left side of my head.
Of course, I was travelling long enough that I STILL felt the need to nap when I got home.

I just visited the discussion forums for Con*Cept, the Montreal science-fiction convention that I help run. No new messages in almost a week. More importantly, no one bothers to ever reply to my follow-ups on the situation of trying to get more accessibility installed in the hotel for this year. It almost feels like, since the majority of the con don't need it, they just don't care.
It's almost funny to check the message boards for LRHS, the high school I graduated from. You can really tell that people there don't know computers: their entire message is just a name - message body AND same for title!

I just fixed the time stamps for this Blog. Now they'll make more sense related to when I write them.

My Blog is now working properly, and more importantly I like the current design.
(Trust me, you wouldn't want to see my original...)
As of a current pay per view in another fantasy wrestling league I play in, Doug Christian and Johnny Thunder, as the tag-team Reunion, have won one of the tag team titles... and this on only their second match in that league. Not too shabby!
Tomorrow afternoon I see an Ear/Nose/Throat specialist about my ear problem. Hopefully, it'll all be fixed up tomorrow.
At least I could hear enough on my transport home today; the driver had Jazz music playing on a car CD-player. You gotta love that.

Here's what'll hopefully get this Blog working properly.
If you're reading this, it means I have things working - finally!

I'm now one step closer to getting this officially website enabled.
The Photoshop that they have at work was too different for me to follow, so I'll be making the logo here at home.

Does everyone in Anjou smoke?
At lunch from work, I saw a lady I found very attractive. As I left the restaurant, I saw that a) she was with someone elready - which already makes me think "next!" - and b) she was smoking.
It seems like virtually every adult I've seen in this suburb of Montreal smokes. In this, I don't follow the stereotype image of a Beatnik/ jazz-fan; being as how I'm alergic to the cigarrette smoke, it'll never happen.

I'm posting this from work right now.
I'm still woozy from my morning transport. It came to pick me up at 7:05am. Between the pay-per-view I saw last night at a friend's place, and the fact that I'm suffering insomnia right now, I didn't get a lot of sleep. I arrived here before 8am, when I started at 9; even an hour of chilling with breakfast at a nearby restaurant, getting my caffeine fix from tea, didn't help me wake up.
I was hoping to get my hours here reworked to help my energy levels, but unfortunately the director is on vacation for a few weeks. Damn.

Instead of reading my Flash 4 Bible book for work hours, I visited several of the Flash resource sites mentioned in the book.
My doctor found that my ear infection has cleared up, but I have a large waxy build-up in the ear that'll require me to see an Ear/Nose/Throat specialist to fix.
Joy. Bliss.

I just tried a new freeware office suite, 602.
Considering the bugs in the program and how they mess other software up, I think I'll pass.
I have to go get cleaned up to visit my doctor today. I've had an ear infection for a few weeks; makes it hard to appreciate music when you can't really hear it...
- mind you, the strange thing is that even though I wasn't able to hear much sound for over a week, I was still able to hear music. Very strange.
