Hollow Bean approaches once again, and this year there’s a cute li’l Jack-o-lantern in my window to greet the hordes of children that come to ring my bell and get loot. See? Ain’t he cute? And look, the picture’s full of “mysterious orbs”, too. Must be a flock of ghosts, visiting each other, getting into the …

So today I did my civic duty™ and voted in the local mayoral election. I wasn’t alone, either; according to the local access channel (which is the only channel actually covering the local election, since it was also election day in the capital and around the province), there was almost a 40% voter turnout.

Back when I lived in residence, in my salad days at the university, there was a bylaw on the …
I’ve been tagged! List five truths. Five things that are on your mind. Good, bad, it matters not. Lift some weight off. Sometimes hanging out with friends is more important than a good night’s sleep. Just about anything can be found on the internet. There’s always someone who knows more than you. Learn from him, …
More from Salyx: Sometimes Igraine would have to go down the axis to the ship’s engine room, where the walking dead worked, men and women so riddled with cancer that they didn’t bother to pretend anymore that they’d survive. They had a ghastly humor down there, a gallows humor, and one of them had set …
