"She was lookin' like an erotic vulture!"

Well, let's see. There isn't much support for writers on this site, but I feel like it's cleaner than my actual website (freewebs.com/okamikuroi). Plus, I get to talk to Eliza and Griffin, too bad Timzie doesn't get his ass on here.

I'm reading this really subtly surreal/sad collection of short stories called "House of the Sleeping Beauties." I am really starting to love this writer, Kawabata. He hits home SO HARD. It is rare for me to cry at all, but I did get that tingling feeling in my nose like one gets before they start bawling while reading one of the short stories. He's starting to become one of my favorite writers...I strongly recommend reading him.

Almost finished writing "Phantom"--wait, I take that back, I'm never going to be finished writing "Phantom." Which is really fuckin irritating. It's slowly become the artistic hurdle I can't jump over. Griffin, aka :iconfart-monster: aka Your Exhibitionist Extraordinaire is reading this new version, but he's slowly stopped and I've lost motivation to keep writing. Timzie aka Your Maniac Film/Science Man aka :iconcamazotz: is reading it now, though.

Speaking of lack of motivation, I am currently procrastinating. I have to write this ridiculous essay for my "Social Problems" class about the evils of Capitalism and Globalization. I'm really tired of taking these time/money wasting GE classes, though I have met some cool people, so I can't complain too much.

What else...I'm currently on a job hunt. I'm getting pretty desperate, not prostitute desperate, though. Our lovely Department of Treasury sent me a check for $100 because of income taxes. That'll help with the trips to Vacaville for a few weekends...
