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.

  1. I think the gap signs are on purpose. It isn't A local thing, 3 gaps have the left sign upside down. I doubt a mistake would last long in this mall. Just a stupid marketing campaign. Just being paranoid. Cousins have probably seen it before, explaining their reply.
