(no subject)

Someday I will write real posts again, with funny anecdotes about my life, but that day is not today. I suppose I should be grateful the CTA is running at all in this heat, but I rode home on a car with no air conditioning today and pretty much wilted. It sounds like kind of a ridiculous complaint, but a packed train car in a tunnel in hundred degree heat with no A/C does at a certain point become a genuine health hazard.

There's no breeze. The sky is white. If there is a God, He hath forsaken us. Or at least me.

I did get to write a post over at Extribulum today, about the Creepypasta genre and certain ways to effectively use fear in storytelling. I recommend not following the links if you are home alone with the lights off.

I'm going to go sleep curled up around my air conditioner now.
