greener grass

I am aching for all that I'm not doing. It's a weird restlessness that stirs my stomach, even when I think I'm calm.

The work seems neverending, and I just want to go outside.

I want some pocket money to buy nice clothes, or at least to do a value village shopping spree and feel rich. Right now my closet it full of out-dated bar shirts that somehow don't seem right for night classes in a cold building.

I want a whole bottle of wine.

I want to be as good a writer as my theory prof. He read a chapter of his book for us, and it's phenomenal. Did I mention he reminds me a lot of House? Except he's not mean, or a pill-popper. He wears hiking boots and cropped, plaid, dickies jackets.

I want a pet. Maybe a baby chameleon.

The end is almost, almost in sight.

Until then...

Hey Dallas--

In case you're interested, me and my fellow creative writing masters students are going to be reading our stuff on CJAM (campus radio) tomorrow night (Thursday November 30) at 8 pm. You can check out a live streaming or download it later on mp3 at http://web2.uwindsor.ca/cjam/index.html

My story is called "Killing Paul McCartney is Not Funny" and it got a pretty good reaction at the reading we did last night at a campus bar.

Never did send you any links for stuff I had in the Lance here--but that's because their website hasn't been updated since before I began writing for them, which sucks.

Anyway, check it out if you can. No worries if you can't, though.

Later

Baby Chameleon?
Hi, welcome to cutest possible pet suggestion ever! (please get one)

They are the cutest animals I know of. My friend Roz has one named Marley and he lives in a tree in her living room half the time. He keeps getting lost though, because he changes new colours and blends in with dish towels and stuff.

But yeah, I saw some babies at the mall a while ago. They're very social animals, and they like to be close to humans (or our body heat, I guess), so you can get little necklace pouches to carry them around in.

As soon as the budget allows...
