Timely updates?

Right. Well. Blogging is surprisingly easy to do, even when I'm as busy as I am.

I'm heading up to Atlanta tomorrow to stay for a few nights. We have a couple of fun things to do up there for my cousins. I got myself a separate room. My excuse was that my father snores like hell and there's no way I could sleep if I stayed in their room, and if I was in my cousins' room? I think that qualifies as a few crime based on the age difference.

The real reason is pure paranoia. I haven't made contact with any so called proxies, or big spindle himself, but I've noticed some weird things around town. Signs are upside down. A lot of them. I noticed it at the mall where a Gap sign for a summer sale was upside down. Wrote it off as retardation, or some kind of stupid inception advertisement thing... Then I noticed a stop sign had been flipped, and a handy-capped sign, and an entire store's name. Then a few days later I noticed something else kind of weird. No one had bothered to fix this. It's been almost 3 days. I can forgive the street signs because they would require some tools to flip, but the sale sign? In a mall? How do you not notice that? How lazy do you have to be to not take 10 seconds of your day to flip a sign? I pointed it out to my cousin laughing, it was just so silly, she asked me what I was talking about.

I've looked around various sources. I've never seen this symptom of being stalked. I could be going insane. Or it could be Change Blindness but I'm pretty sure that's not how change blindness works.

It could be that I'm already completely insane, and this is just a symptom of completely non related things. Or my brain is already failing and is no longer flipping certain things right side up when I see them. I don't have a hyper link to explain this because the five minutes of googling and reading things didn't provide what I was looking for. My family has a history of vision problems on my mother's side so this may not be unexpected. I just would expect it to be a little more widespread than a few signs.

Anyway. Moving away from that, I've had some minor writer's block, I'm only to page 80 in the journal. This was because I had to figure out exactly how the mentor character dealt with the death of one of his charges. Originally, he just kind of slinks off and doesnt appear, but since this work is focused on him I can't exactly do it again. I think I've already shrugged this off though. The 17th entry is under way and hopefully this won't happen again.

I hope this makes up for my last update, I'll post next Friday as usual.

Cousins are keeping me busier than normal. They'll be gone in a few weeks. I'm going to start writing these in advance and updating them as the week goes by.

Sorry for shortness, I was going to blog tonight but we got into the midnight showing of Green Lantern.

If you want my thoughts, It was a good action movie, kind of silly with the villain. I think they blew their load a little early but whatever. I'm familiar with the Green lantern comics but not terribly. I'd have to do some research to find out how unfaithful it is. I bet this will be similar to my reaction to the fantastic 4 movies. They were good action movies but after I did a lot of looking into the comic and such, I didn't like it adaptation wise.

This is all coming from someone who can watch almost everything presented to him so take that with a grain of salt if you want. I'll do a special update when I have time then a main one next Friday to make up for this I guess.

Still no sighting of Construct or any proxies, I'll just count myself lucky.

Huzzah! Second post!

So, I've decided to try and update this thing once a week. Seems easy enough, until I run out of things to talk about. I do realize technically I've missed my set Friday update but my own personal hell cropped up to stop me from updating.

I have been having internet problems lately and my computer may have caught some kind of virus. If freaky things start happening with a girl in a well or a tree that is a man you guys are never going to see me online again. Probably because I'll be dead or something... Oh! Also, stupid thunder storm just knocked my power out for a good few hours. After watching Marble Hornets I couldn't even look NEAR the windows until the lights came on and I was greeted by my own reflection.

In real life news I have 2 cousins coming over to stay for a few weeks for the summer. They're really fun, almost clones of me, which is terrifying but thrilling. They came over 2 summers ago and hung out here for a month. I think they're 15 and 12? Could be a year older than that.

This has also brought up the problem of my mother being a clean freak when family comes over. I've been cleaning for about 18 hours straight at this point. I found out she will clean through a power outage, by candle light.

So. I guess I should elaborate a bit more on my books that I talked about a lot in that first post. I haven't written much more in the journal, started the next "Chapter" but haven't gotten very far. Distracted by having to remove every god damn sub-atomic particle of dirt from my floor. I can see my reflection, in concrete I think it's clean.

I'll start with the setting in this post, I'm going to stretch the hell out of this so I can cover days when my rantings have run low. I could say I used Norse Mythology as a backdrop. But really? I looked at Norse Mythology, thought it was cool, and slapped a few names on things and did my own thing. I need to be more original I guess. Anyway we have Asgard, the place the Gods live in, as the crazed highly militarized paradise that it usually is. The main characters are of Angel decent and the mentor one I mentioned is one of the oldest angels alive, termed an Ancient One. Then we have Midgard, the place where most of the story happens. Midgard is in danger of being reworked from a plane of existence to a weapon by the Antagonist. Angels, including the Ancient one, are sent down to keep him off of it, and maybe kill him. Then we have Helheim, the home of all the demons and such the Antagonist gets his legions of soldiers from. Oh, and The In-between, a part of the universe that isn't exactly IN the universe, where the Antagonist lives, making it hard to storm his castle and kill him.

Also making it hard to kill him, he's got perfect immortality, can only be mildly annoyed rather than killed, and the number of people capable of fighting one on one him can be counted on one hand.

That's a ramble for next Friday however.

Peace.
