The next draft entry I want to write will be for the location of LZ-S-3404, and unfortunately I ran out of time to write it properly because I spent the last hour or so looking up the history of early projection devices. I will get the details hammered out soon. Of course, I choose to phrase it this way because part of the research led me to find this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blacksmith_Scene. Isn't it marvelous how a silent 30 seconds of sequential pictures can so eloquently frame a time period ...
Immediately after waking up, I received a call from my wife to notify me that among the extensive schedule changes which had occurred throughout the week while she was just presently on vacation, is that my 8AM start for today was silently adjusted to be at 7AM. I received the call at 725AM. Thankfully, I live close enough that I just had to clothe and leave immediately and make it there to punch by 740AM. Also thankfully, after I had done so, I didn't have to explain my situation or apologize to ...
Quick Draft. KZ-N-4800 19510608 11:06:11 "This isn't the first time that David and I got into a fight." She rubbed her hands over each other in a nervous circular motion while admitting this. "And not the first time outside, neither. This is just how it goes sometimes, but I love him, though, sir." "Right, ma'am. Just stick to the answer." "Now David didn't hit me, now, he just held me tight and was ...
Draft. JF-N-7662 19220519 15:08:33 The conclusion of another school week was one of the favorite times for Lilian Manheim, but not because the week long stretch of dreary classwork had come to a close - in fact, this is the specific point in the week when she did the most work. The main entrance to Mainfield School had a short vestibule, the immediate left to which was the Principal's Office, a short hallway to the right led to the gymnasium, and the ...
I have to take my wife to a court proceeding early tomorrow morning, so for the first time in my 18 months of service to the retail store, I have called a day of work off. They have seven people scheduled otherwise, and it is a Friday, so I don't feel particularly bad about doing it. I shouldn't have so much of a second thought about it, if I were to compare that ratio to how frequently others have called off and are still in good standing with employment. All that matters to me is that I don't ...
There's some severe rain hitting here now, and the sump pump has been running basically constantly for the last twenty minutes at least. It's quite distracting when trying to write something on here with the rain and that machine emitting a constant additional noise in the background. I was raised to always be wary of sump pumps being activated, so that's the main cause of my apprehension now. Draft. BA-S-9777 18580918 14:56:01 Doctor ...
Slept for 12 hours today, which is the first time in a while that I managed that feat. There was a time when I'd sleep as much three days in a row on days off, but lately that hasn't happened at all, and if anything I've slept as little during the week off as I did during the working weekends. As such, if I have a draft entry for today, I'll edit it in later or prepare one so that I have it ready for tomorrow. Until then: Extra Mode. The Usual. ...
Draft. (continued from yesterday) PL-S-2250 19090903 12:06:41 With each new day, Thomas Naragansett increasingly loathed going to Cecil Thompson Grammar School, and the only reason why he felt this way is because he was white. The problem wasn't being picked on for being white; he had no classmates which he would consider best friends nor mortal enemies. He felt he got along just OK with everyone in the class, and that was fine with him. ...
Today is my Mom's birthday, so I felt compelled to pay a visit. My sister and my cousin were there, and lounging outside in conversation with my Dad. My Mom is working on employee reviews for a place to which she's submitted resignation papers. I guess this is what it felt like all those times when I was dragged to social events and made a point to avoid people rather than fraternize and pretend to care. Oh well. Quick Draft. PL-S-2250 19090903 12:06:41 ...
Draft. KA-N-0210 18981017 11:12:44 The letter was read aloud by Jay to the other three people seated at the table before him: "To my dearest sons Brandon and Jason - I have written my final will with the intent to sever any ties to my business which you may have supposed or expected to remain. I have indeed, and in lucid judgment, decreed for the brewery to be liquidated and all assets obtained in doing so to be donated to the Third Baptist ...
Draft. OF-N-9210 18620313 10:57:03 Cliff Tompkins spent the morning recording notes about the lager barrels which were stored in the basement of the shack. There was only so much which he could visibly see while holding the lantern light next to his face when he peered inside the casks. It would have been too much work to bring them closer to an area with visible light and he didn't want to remove the barriers which had shielded the beer from ...
Gold is for sale on Diablo 3 RMAH now. $2.50 for a million, basically. Have I been cornered out of my market? (My market isn't gold, by the way.) Maybe I have, but it didn't happen before I had acquired basically a solid set to play Act 1 Inferno, which is good enough for me. If I never beat Inferno, or it takes me a long time to do it, I can't say I really care all that much, because the main reason that I'm even playing the game is for social purposes. I've put in the time to get what I have and ...
Welcome home, hun. Enjoy your vacation. Draft. OF-N-9210 The Cliffside Brewery was founded on September 15, 1855, beginning as a simple wooden frame shack which housed a few stills and barrels for the purpose of fermenting beer hops and making whisky. The original proprietor was Alfred Tompkins. As it was the first local brewery in the city, it was able to gain a strong customer base in short order and helped Daron's farm establish its own independence ...
I put a new cheap piece-o-crap $20 grill together today. The previous grill of a same kind had rusted to the point that the entire bottom was eliminated and left a gigantic gaping hole in the center. It was almost three years old and served its time well. The new grill manages to be even smaller in dimension compared to the old grill. I guess that's what $20 gets now. Draft. 18380221 "I must tell you something, Mister Frederic." "What ...
Today was a reprieve in the weather but this weekend affected me as much as most anyone else. Doing the job in the triple digit degree heat and sun for eight hours is not something to be classified as "fun", no matter how liberal your definition of it is. Three new hires have come in; two today and another had his third day today, after being indoctrinated to the job in the aforementioned blaze. As far as I know, they haven't quit yet, so that's at least one positive. I ...
