| Pendragon's Last Bow(No, I'm not shoving off for Avalon in a gray fog...)
A voice in my head, the nice one that sounds exactly like me except in the patient fatherly tone that I'll be using with my kids, tells me that I spend too much time writing/thinking and not enough time DOING.
Not that amusing Vik and Jay isn't good times, but I'm not sure who I'm writing for anymore.
I do regret losing this thread that I threw out there partly to keep me in touch with everyone. It always gave me a measure of satisfaction when any of you msged to talk about something I posted and we ended up...ya know....talking. :)
Lastly, I get the distinct impression that the audience has expanded beyond the scope I initially envisioned. I don't enjoy being muzzled anymore than I enjoy a sharp rap on the noggin. Shoulda gone with the Fight Club rules for the blog. Although there's the rub. You wanna make it easy for the right people to access it, but at the same time, contain it.
To avoid signing off with a Fight Club reference (quoting and referencing movies isn't just bad writing; it is the epitome of laziness and connotes a shocking lack of creativity and imagination).....I wonder what the odds are of this being a simple case of temporary whiny and melodramaticky. (Let's hold off on the time of the month jokes.) If I'm back on here within a week, I just might have to punish myself.
Someone once told me that a little uncertainty can be a good thing. I kinda get it now.
Scar.

| The Benefits of Being Single and ChildlessThe economy is going into the crapper....housing is still tanking...and yet I'm upbeat.
For one, next July in Spain, I'm sure it'll be less crowded with other Ugly Americans. Two, hopefully, they are willing to cut deals so that the final tab is cheaper. Three, note once again that I am single and childless and single. Meaning no one is counting on me to provide....a total load off of my mind, I assure you. Also, no one to complain that we suddenly aren't eating out or doing fun stuff anymore. If I manage to get myself fired, all the better. I'd have the excuse that I've been searching for to go visit everyone I know and make a nuisance of myself. And since the economy is in such bad shape, there wouldn't be a stigma for being unemployed. Woohoo!
Circuit City is pooping the bed, closing massive amounts retail space. I wonder if they'll have any great deals. If Linens and Things is any indication, that's a negative. I wish the sheeple would wake up and realize that in the early days, the deals are not really deals. If we would all agree to wait until the last two days, some of us would actually go home with good stuff. Let's make every Friday a Black Friday, shall we??
Time to head to Bed, Bath and Beyond. I need a new drying rack. That wooden one totally conked out. I have to constantly remind myself that I'm not a poor student anymore, meaning I can afford the 30 buck metal drying rack over the 9 buck balsa wood one.

| Juvenille and Loving ItReturned some library books, bought some eggs and milk, drank some boba, ordered a pizza to pay off that bet I lost, browsed at Goodwill and found a gem, a Calvin and Hobbes booklet for 69 cents, saw a contraption called a "Butt Blaster" and could not stop grinning (c'mon, Butt Blasting in the Bay Area? Too easy...).
Rested up for the coming week....I think.

| What's Worse Than Pendragon Being in One of His Moods?Being in one of my moods.....at 3 in the morning and can't sleep....it's raining.....playing with my lighter.....you KNOW that I'm busting out Moulin Rouge, didn't you? Or better yet, Rebuild of Evangelion: You are Not Alone. You KNOW a movie is a guaranteed downer when the director and creator purposely stops taking his lithium in order to "really get the feeling of pathos across". Why are the Japanese so insane?
PS-I need a Misato to live with me. Ixnay on the beer though.

| Grrrrr(Oh crap. I'm in one of my infamous moods again. And I can't even take it out with physical activity on account of the bum ankle)
