early morning thoughts

bleary-eyed takes in the a.m. from J. Patrick Gray

I thought I lost my Casio W800H, but it was inside a box of Legos. Crisis averted.

10:59 AM | 2025-11-08

Yesterday was the 25th anniversary of Shenmue. That's when gaming peaked, and we've been on a steady downward trajectory since.

06:59 AM | 2025-10-25

Playing "It Must Be Santa" by Mitch Miller. It's only October, for Chrissake.

08:12 AM | 2025-10-19

There's a relative peace this morning. Dark clouds and a cool breeze. I may write, or I may do nothing.

10:36 AM | 2025-10-07

Man, the Porta Pros and all their muddiness treat my ear well compared to those ear-tugging KSC75s. I will say that the sound stage for the 75s is nice. Just a little too trebly and sibilant for my tastes.

09:50 AM | 2025-10-06

My copy of The New American Splendor Anthology has some heavy ink-bleed in those speech balloons. Still, Harvey Pekar was something else.

08:03 AM | 2025-10-04

Today begins a true week of rest. Now that the house is "to the bones" again, I wonder if we'll be in before Christmas.

Wishful thinking but perhaps possible.

07:35 AM | 2025-09-27

I find myself thinking of yesterday's anesthesia, the immediate and swirling blackness and loss of time. A strange sensation that could be compared to death, rebirth, and reconstitution. Regardless, today I am still recovering.

10:52 AM | 2025-09-07

It's cooler than usual. I should walk about. If only I could manifest the energy to leave this chair.

Parainfluenza.

06:38 AM | 2025-09-06

Everyone's asleep except for me. I fear that I'm getting sick.

Maybe coffee is the remedy, at least temporarily.

08:46 AM | 2025-08-30

There are touches of autumn now: crisp air and yellowing leaves. A general malaise as I stare at hay rolls from the window.

05:54 AM | 2025-08-13

Lightning, power outages, restless night

08:58 AM | 2025-08-10

Sundays always have this palpable tension that I've never been able to shake. I look up and the day is gone.

08:00 AM | 2025-08-09

Okay. I can finally breathe, but my back is out.

Such is the aging process: an ebb and flow of pain tolerances.

08:10 AM | 2025-08-03

the day before is always bittersweet

08:09 AM | 2025-08-01

Pantprazole sodium and coffee. Quite the combination. I hope to stop clearing my throat one day.

11:58 AM | 2025-07-31

Up in the ER. Still as cold as ever.

07:11 AM | 2025-07-30

Thinking about cabinets. Green cabinets.

08:24 AM | 2025-07-29

One cup down. Thunder boomed last night waking all.

Serial Experiments Lain on a tiny laptop. My son resting on my chest.

A new, humid day much like the last.
