As the opera production ended, we took some cast photos and went to the home of one of the cast for a cast party. As I don’t have a car, I went with one of the cast members. On the way, we had the interesting diversion of being lost for about 2 hours on a [...]

Another Awakening At 3am
Filed Under Life Happenings | Comments Off
I awoke to find myself in sort of a limbo. I seemed to be aware of myself being in several places at once. While I knew I was tossing and turning in my bed, I also seemed to be on stage performing in an opera, and talking with several other people in different time periods. [...]

As I sit here at 5am writing this, I have tossed and turned in bed for the past hour or so, unable to fall asleep. The event? That which we have all experienced – telling someone of the opposite sex you care about that you like them and not having things work out. As this [...]

As I returned home from work, I got another nice note from my power company. Oh good, they’ve turned my power back on! *Click* The light switch still doesn’t work. Oh, there is a fine print: My circuit breaker has been left off to protect me from electric surges. I looked up, a bit confused. [...]

As I returned home from opera practice yesterday, I noticed a few slips of paper stuck to my door. “Oh great, more spam from the real world”, I thought. I check my real world mailbox maybe once a month since I throw out about 98% of what’s in there. Apparantly, those pizza guys selling their [...]
