Addicted

“Hello, my name is Silver and I’m an addict.”
“It’s been about five minutes since I listened to music.”
There are roughly four things in my life that I love enough to hazard an addicted label. Music, books, my laptop and coffee…and in the order. You can take away my coffee and I might be [...]

On the afternoon of February 26th, our dear friend was taking a much deserved rest on the Neurotic Family’s couch, after entertaining one of the members with a movie. He was not bothering anyone, just [...]

A Heartbreaking Work of a Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers

I bought this book at the local library’s annual book sale.  I had heard of the book, though for the life of me couldn’t remember if I had heard good things about it, or bad things…but as it was cheap and I’m always looking for something new to read I bought it.

A bit of brown, to cover up the blonde

I was feeling a little bit better today and had a book due back to the library so after dinner I decided to make the quick drive over to the library. I wasn’t planning on going into the libary, just wanted to drop the book down the book return chute so I pulled up [...]

8 More Hours…

I have an 8 hour shift looming ahead of me, and I’m not quite sure if I’m going to make it.
I know on Saturday I said I was feeling better. That frankly, was a lie. Though, to be honest, I was lying more to myself than to you. So, in my eyes [...]
