Woke at 5 a.m. this morning to the sound of bombs going off, landing right outside my window. It took me a good twenty seconds to realize that it was thunder, and that we were due for a good storm this morning. I guess it really shows where my mind's at. Scared the hell out of me.

I've been a lazy bum when it comes to writing lately, not doing anything Monday or Tuesday night except succumbing to exhaustion. But I did manage another 500 words last night on my unlikely Dalai Lama near-future sf story. It barely qualifies as science fiction, but I had to put it in the future since the Dalai Lama is still alive right now. And there are some neat everyday gadgets that I threw in there. It's the first sf story - or pseudo-sf story - that I've written in a good long time. I'm hoping to get it done this week to show to the Cup-a-Prosers for our next meeting, then to fix it up and send it to Mike for his zine thing.

Since I had a twenty-minute wait for the bus after my class last night, I walked over to School Kids Records to waste some time, and ended up buying We're a Happy Family, the Ramones tribute album produced by Rob Zombie. There are some really good covers in there by such folks as Mr. Zombie, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Metallica, U2, Marilyn Manson, Garbage, and many others. Since the Ramones' songs were hardly ever over four minutes long, they were able to cram fifteen songs onto the CD, with two bonus tracks. It's a good gathering of the balls-out punk that inspired Green Day, Rancid, The Offspring, and a number of other bands. There's also a introduction in the liner notes by Stephen King that, while not nearly as eloquent as his usual writing, shows how much he really loved the band and was deeply sad when Joey Ramone died.

Oh, and before my class last night, I finished reading Margot Livesey's Eva Moves the Furniture, which is not about Feng Shui or interior decorating, as suggested in jest by my silly girlfriend. It's an excellent subtle ghost story that I would suggest to everyone. I felt like more of a goofy fun novel next, so I started Jasper Fforde's The Eyre Affair. Wait a minute, Mike Jasper, Jasper Fforde...do I sense a connection here?
