Calming Down

I'm getting a late start on this one. A few things happened, and if I was able to I would have posted them as they happened. When we got back from Atlanta and opened the doors to our house we noticed that the A/C was out. Fine. Georgia heat made us get a hotel but when we went to check on the A/C units. Both of them were fried. Completely unresponsive, had to have someone come in and replace a few parts. They think the units both got hit by lightning. Sure. I live on a lake. Lightning happens. Not quite sure why it struck the fairly grounded A/C units but whatever. The A/C units are by my far window. Hm. What's really tall that I know that could be stalking me without me noticing? I wonder if Lightning strikes even slow the bastard down?

Also. Our dock was torn up. To shreds. Granted it was a pile of crap but that kind of damage doesn't inflict itself unless there's some kind of river whale that I'm not aware of. We've got someone fixing it, making it nicer than it was but that was crazy to say the least. Anyway I talked Dad into letting me come with him to drop my cousins off at their home in Florida because we haven't had enough driving to do. That went off well, normal stuff and all that, nothing out of the ordinary chased us. There was some rain out of no where but it's Florida, that comes with the turf.

Anyway I've been resting from all the bloody driving. My spine is not built for that kind of activity. We had a nice little fourth of July celebration. Went out on the town. They shot fireworks off by where we live yesterday, which was cool until hour 3 when I wanted to go to sleep. I didn't personally get to set any fireworks off but that's probably for the best given my pyromania and what happened...

Regardless, This is coming in much later than normal. But thankfully things have settled down. I'm planning on going into town and getting that book everyone keeps telling me about. House of Leaves I think. I had gotten one called Zombie Apocalypse by Stephen Jones. It was a good read. Gonna try to keep myself from reviewing everything I ever do in this blog.

On a Trilogy related note, I've started back up on the Journal again. I had writer's block something fierce but I've managed to shake it off for the most part. I wasn't sure how to have the mentor react to the death of a character. In the book I just had him slink off and be out of focus but I can't do that in a journal written by him. In the end I think it worked out ok. I just had to settle with writing shorter entries. I'm up to Entry 18 now, almost 100 pages in. Pretty sure there will be something around 30 Entries in total, maybe a bit more. At least, 30 Entries for the events of the first book.

Maybe I should start naming these characters for you guys. There's always next Friday, er... This Friday.
