The alarms were still sounding years after the attack due to the solar cells constantly drawing energy from the nearby star. The land was strewn with the bones of those who were caught out side when the first wave came through. They didn't stand a chance. Those indoors faired a better yet they died a slow death. The planetary quarantine was lifted and we were the first to....oh hey hi there didn't see y over there. Grab a seat.


And yet once again its a been a while since I posted something here,keeping it inconsistent. Enjoyed the ride to work was able to catch a glimpse of the moon or was that yesterday morning..who knows. Still getting a ride in from sista, the car search is on hold I guess...

Work is a joyful experience as usual, more grey hairs added.


After work bus ride home is aiiight, so what if it takes me almost an hour to get home,it allows my mind to unwind and get ready for the joy of home life. Been getting off the bus about five blocks earlier so I can get some more walking in, might get off even earlier in the weeks to come. It should be extra exciting in the winter.

Been doing some baking and sharing with coworkers. Gonna cut back on that for a while.....

Older brother from DC is here with his family for a visit for a few days. It was a welcome break from things to be able to just hang out side in front of the house and talk about this neighborhood as compared to our old one,plus older brother had ma go for a nice walk with her walker. She's doing ok...somewhat .....

Did a lil bit of grilling this season, local older brother has allowed me to use of his smoker that was at what used to be his house, wish I had a full day from sun up to sundown to really make use of it instead the short after work,after food shopping on sunday time every other week.

What else, got a new kitchen gadget. A food Saver. Android phone is working nicely was able to cull some souls with it the other day...sweeet. Got three tumlegblogs goin, one for my random observations, pictures vid clips, one thats food related, and one thats work related.Thats about it for now.

Some of the city dwellers took notice of the of the rumblings in the air and the recent blackouts and wrote it off as a technical glitch in the enviro-systems. When they saw the originals (those who were here before colonization) leaving with their funny sticks and a few belongings more started to pay attention. Then on the 9th day of air rumblings things began to....Oh hey hi there didn't see ya over there.

Ah another post, wow almost a week later. Go figure. Ride into work was ok I guess. Decided to listen to a DnB Podcast on the touch. Been listening to the I Need My Salsa Dot Com Podcast for a while now. Figured i change it up for a bit. They both offer a great soundtrack to zone out for a bit before getting to work...speaking of work,

Started running the board for the new morning show on Hot. It was and will be an interesting adventure. I get to read the weather forecast at the top of the hour during the local news segment. Yep local as in local show,no more syndicated stuff from the left coast. It is kind of weird having other people in the studio that early in the morning, plus they like all the lights on which will take some getting used to. Oh well

Kept the cooking simple this weekend as i battle through my yearly cold outbreak. Saturday got off to a late start but still was able to make some eggs chourico, Sunday it was baked chicken, green beans, tossed salad and sista put together a pot of jag...nice! Oh yeah and last week baked some peanut butter chocolate chip cookies then an ignorantly large chourico, vidalia onion and pepper calzone. I may a little bit more behind the thought process of that particular calzone at my tumblr spot eventually.

Anything else nah thats about it for now, Bob Marley playlist is hella relaxin.

Be Well Citizens.

The color was gone from the land that we once knew,the elders were right it was time to go. We gathered our knowledge staffs and our most basics needs because we knew we would not be returning. The rumblings in the air and ground continued and we began our trek to the other place...oh hey hi there didn't see you over there.

Yes its been a few months since I posted something here. not gonna make any promises but I'll just say that when I have time I'll post an update here.

So we are down to one car which has made things hella interesting, I get a ride to work from sista and catch public transit for the ride home it takes about an hour or less. I don't mind it allows me to catch up on my reading. Every once in a while a co worker will offere me a ride which is aiight.

Mom is doing better,she had cold then she got a urinary tract infection. The infection is gone and she seems better to an extent....

Currently in the oven a couple of beef chuck roast sitting on top of some yukon gold potatoes simmering in some beef broth with onions and peppers. Yeah keeping cooking simple on sunday.

Work was exciting as usual this morning,loaded in a few billion commercials while keepin an eye on tings on the AM station,and quick peek of the other stations in the building.

Older brother came buy last Sunday with the mower and cut the grass down to a normal height. Gonna attempt to get to the rest of the yardwork eventually.

Older brother got his pick up truck back on the road and he mentioned that someone might be by to clear the fire debris from his driveway.

Thats about it for now oh I almost forgot my tumblr spot heartlessjim.tumblr.com

There were murmurs from those to young to remember, but the older adults knew this was coming and began to gather the essentials for the trek back to the old lands. Then there were those who did not not want to leave, that was until an elder touched their hands with one of the wall stones and...oh hey hi I didn't see you over there.

Ahh it's Sunday and sista is putting the finishing touches on the lamb stew/soup. Me I'm revisiting the foil pan and fuhhgettabout it, beef back ribs.

Work was ok today,countdown continues.

The rental that I'm currently using is hella small n uncomfortable. The shady personal injury lawyer dropped my case with a quickness. I may go into detail on this joy in another journal entry, who knows.

Currently reading a book, as in a real dead tree, not digital book. It's a collection of stories under the title, heading steampunk. Not bad.

That's about for now. Longer entry soon come.

Be well citizens.

The Elder of each home continued to speak. It is time to return to the old lands. Gather up your items and start walking. With that said each elder took a stone from the circle in basements where they spoke and the ground begun to ...oh hey hi there didnt see you over there.

Ah so no ride in to work description today because its Saturday and I don't have to work on Saturdays. Nope this morning I drove pops to Sears Automotive in Warwick and spent over 4 hours there while they worked on the car. That makes 2 Saturdays in a row. On the plus side I was able to catch up on my reading of Otaku USA. Plus some old guy was talking to me about a bunch of random things,Time shares,Indian arrowheads,solar panels on his roof,yada yada yada. I was a wee bit upset when we got the word that the car was ready because the conversation was much appreciated.

What else I think the season is finally changing, even though its about 80 something out there today. Backyard is still a jungle,was going to attempt to tackle this past week but had to do the driving the parents to various appointments. Still would like to create a sitting area directly to the left of the back door as you exit the house.

Didn't do as much grilling as I wanted to this season, still may have a few more weekends or weekdays to attempt something,but I'm not holding my breath.

Did get some baking in since the last post. Need to get some more supplies though especially since the niece mentioned that she wants to do alot of baking for the holidays.

Thats about it for now, trying to zone out in the bedroom for a bit even though I should be working on grocery list,working on what to cook for dinner tomorrow...

Be well citizens

The basements were cramped,but it did not matter they wouldn't be there long. It was the eldest of each family who spoke. They were all connected through the stones on each wall. To a visitor it was just another one of those quirky "artifacts" but to those who knew it was another link to their heritage. We have heard the wind howl through the the chasm,and some of us on the edge have heard the chanting, people it is time to...oh hey hi there didn't see you over there.


Yeah I know another entry so soon. The drive in to work was ok,was able to enjoy 10-15 minutes of the spanish station. Tomorrow its back to the joy of moving sistas car onto the street thenuu back into the driveway after i get pops car on the street.

Gotta remember to work on a call list for the next time i go into the hospital or something like that. Spoke with a co worker today who thought I was at home all that time. Yeah communication is great aint it. When's the last time you actually had a conversation with a friend on the phone, or dare I say face to face. Once again thanks Casey for the hospital visit.

Still not a hundred percent but ws able to get some things done in the kitchen. Not sure when I'll fire up the grill again,between the pieces of the wheelchair ramp and the somewhat newly seeded portions of the yard, grillin would be kind of tough. But I'll try and get some in before winter.

What else, I got another new spot that I'll be updating soon. The focus there will most likely be one thought per post. For example A cake was baked last week. I'll talk about why it was baked, and what I thought about the finished product. And of course there will be a picture or 2.

What else,got a new phone. Same model as before. Old one wasn't holding a charge. Turned out it wasn't the battery it was something in the phone. As tempting as it is to jump on the iPhone bandwagon ill have to pass on that. The whole buyers remorse thing...not ruling out the wi-fi enabled iPad though.

Anything else,nah thats about it for now. This was posted from an iPod Touch. Be well citizens.

The sands were swept through the walls if the chasm and the howl of the spirit winds could be heard within the city. Those who chose to leave the village long ago for the city knew that sound. It was coming and it was going to be bad. They gathered in basements and began to... Oh hey hi there didnt see ya over there.

So its been a hella long while since something was posted here. Currently I'm in a room in Rhode Island Hospital dealing with an infection in the foot.

Onward, my brother tells me that he was able to get the yard tilled and spread the rest of the ez seed, cant wait to see how that works out.

Keepin it short this time around.

As the seventh dagger was plunged into the back of acoloyte Anders skull, the walls began to shake and the blood gushed from his eye sockets and his mouth with such force that the three who were assisting were forced to step back. The wail of the souls had grown to a level not heard for years in these dark lands and yet the ceremony continued. The keeper raised his stump of an arm over his head and with his good hand pointed the staff towards the valley below. We watched as the lights of the city blinked then there was.....oh hey hi there didn't see you over there.



Its late afternoon and its been a while since i've posted/written anything here. Not since May. That was the last full posting. Yeah i posted a video clip in august but that doesn't count.

So what's been happening since the last post you may ask? stuff. Spent almost every sunday and a few weekdays grilling during the summer. Man that was hell relaxing. It was a routine that i looked forward to,kind of a winding down from everything else. I would just get the weber grill lit with charcoal,wood chunks or whatever and throw the item on it and just sit down in the resin adirondack chair and zone. Was hella quiet out there except for a few times around the holidays when the neighbors had their celebrations but even that wasn't too bothersome.

What else? Passed my road test, so now I am a licensed driver,yaay. I guess if I was much younger i would be crazy hyped about it. But now I see it as another chore. Don't get me wrong it was something that needed to get done but now that it is done,driving has become part of the daily routine. Driving to work in sisters vehicle,driving pops vehicle home after work or the after work errands then home. Then there's the drive the niece here or pick up the nephew here,the weekend errands...yeah the excitement never ends. Oh and did I mention the parking ritual of backing into the shared driveway, have to make sure that there's a certain amount of space between left between the drivers side tires and the house..

Grass in the back yard has grown in crazily once again,was able to use the old school mower once but didn't stay up on it so the grass grew way to long. Gonna see if I can borrow my brothers gas mower knock that lawn back into submission and get it ready for the fall.

The joy of full time work continues.

Fringe is back for a new season, enjoying that but now its on a thursday night at 9p which cuts into my sleeping time. Been watching Flash Forward on ABC its alright,an interesting dip into something different network television. Caught some of Stargate Universe last week,Missed about 45 mins to an hour. Going to attempt to watch it via the syfy website. From what I caught,I was impressed and can't wait til Friday evening. Not sure about Sanctuary. Oh and Warehouse 13 was enjoyable. Reminded me of a show called where this guy made a deal with the devil and sold cursed items from an antique shop and these three people had to go and retrieve them. Much darker than Warehouse 13 though.

Spent most of the afternoon in the kitchen yesterday, roasted a leg of lamb, some red skinned potatoes w dill and other seasonings,sliced up 5lbs of carrots(gotta roast em), and made a good sized pot of beef kelbasa(sp) with sweet red peppers, onions and black eyed peas. A pole (as in polish) meets soul type of dish.

Thats about it for now gotta toss some clothes in the nightmarish dryer. It needs to be replaced, the noise it makes can be heard in Bangor Maine. Could be inspiration for a new Stephen King Novel.

Hmm, well the coffee that was brewed this morning in a Black and Decker coffee maker with a stainless steel carafe/pot has been consumed from the Stanley Stainless Steel Thermos and the day has been properly greeted.

One moment we were talking via the holo uplink about the weather and the next moment there was the wailing of alarms and panicked bots. They must have used the the interval between the setting of the second sun and abandoned moon to slip past the sensor array. We switched the defense net to manual knowing the automated systems were useless this close to the planet. And watched the heads up display for whatever made it through. We didn't have to wait too long as the first of what was to be many D Ranged class cruisers came round the the outer rim of the system. The commander gave the order and we all made peace with our makers and got ready for...oh hey hi there didn't see ya over there.



Another day comes to a close. The ride in to work was ok, the nephew was awake...again and he tagged along for the ride. Spent most of the ride explaining to sista what my morning work ritual consisted of.

So its been almost a month since I posted here. The grass in the back yard has come up crazily. Was able to get enough burlap to cover all of the seeded area. The landlord came by Saturday to get an estimate from the plasterer/sheetrock guy,he's going to repair the cut open ceiling due a plumbing problem from the neighbors on the second floor. She wz impressed by the amount of grass that was coming up. As I tweeted earlier may try the first cut this saturday. She also gave the okay for the triming of the hedges on the side of the house. They are a bit overgrown,may attempt that tomorrow.

Work is okay,had another driving lesson today cruising through the back roads of barington and practicing backing into a parking space and navigating turning lanes. Oh wait,yeah i said driving lessons. Made the mistake of mentioning to my boss that I don't know how to drive last year and we now have a new client and the next thing u know I'm taking driving lessons and their making a vid of the experience to be posted on the website.

Almost Memorial Day, the month blew through like function a-16 on my not so new cell phone. Man I remember when i entered the correct code on my phone that first time and cleared away bunch of trees in western mass,but I digress. Trying to figure out the menu for the first official grilling of the season. Baked some bbq chicken this past sunday and made some cornbread to go with it. Maybe I'll grill some turkey thighs and corn on the cob. Saw that Shaws has a good price on em starting friday. Gotta love their early mailing of the circular. Earlier than the email notification. Maybe i'll wait n see what the other spots have to offer.

What else? No Fringe tonight, season finale was last week. Man that was hella hella intense. Wow! might go into withdrawal. Glad to hear that they picked it up for another season.

Finally took advantage of free comic book day a few weeks ago and now I kind of getting back into em. grabbing mostly sci fi horror stuff especially this series called Superzombies. Also checking for that bringing back the dead super heroes green lantern storyline thingee.

Anything else? Nope. Thats it for now,the hella strong black coffee has been consumed from the Stanley Stainless Steel Thermos and the day has been properly greeted.
