Just a reminder to go vote for me in the Livejournal Idol poll.

After posting it I went and stood-by at the fire station since we were on high alert that day. Nothing happened here but a brushfire caused the evacuation of the town of Hepburn Springs two hours north of here and I haven't been able to find a map of the burned area but I have some hives up there so I'm a bit concerned.


wildfires in this state the day the "firebreak" story was due.

   In totally unrelated news I've finally started reading Jack Kerouac's famous "On the Road," am about a third in and... I dunno so far it doesn't seem nearly as deep as I'd been led to expect, its like the diary of a young guy who is irresponsible with money and always chasing girls, and not even in a terribly exciting way. He definitely writes in a way that flows nicely though. And there's certainly room for hte character to grow a lot from his current mindset so who knows maybe he does?


UPDATE: Currently tied for the third elimination position. Please god no don't put me in one of the stupid 24 hour "runoffs!" Vote for meeee.

Is there a link to the poll?

Oh I tried to put a link in but it appears broken. It's https://therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1039537.html (:

UGH. Fires are scary. I hope the hives are all right!

I'm not sure Kerouac ever grew up. (grin)

Haha uhoh. We'll see. Like I said he left the character a lot of room for growth... if the character doesn't grow by the end I'm gonna be left really wondering why its such a classic, because other than his ability to write in a way that flows really well, the characters are pretty shallow and as a travelogue its really shit with hardly any description of places (I picked it up mainly because I love travelogues)
