Report Card Day
I just wrote and performed a stand-up comedy skit that Kayla recorded. It's called 'Report Card Day'. I wrote it while I was at the store buying chocolate. When I got home, Kayla recorded it. I've put it out on Youtube and our Myspace page. Hope you like it!

Septic Tanks and Irony
The other day I passed by a septic tank and was taken aback by its uncanny resemblance to a submarine. I had never noticed that before. So I guess, in a way, you could say that submariners are the shit.
I have been trying to get through on the phone to Interfaith Community Services for rental assistance for almost two months now. Today was the first time I actually heard the phone ringing instead of a busy signal. I thanked my lucky stars that I could keep eviction's icy grip at bay for another month. A man answers and informs me that they have a brand spanking new policy that started today which says that they cannot help anyone who doesn't have a child under the age of eighteen living with them! Holy krizmak, them bollocks are a biznitch!
But today hasn't been all bad news. I went to the Tucson Urban League for help with utility assistance. At first they told me that the first available appointment was on November 28th! Tucson Electric Power told me they were going to cut off our electricity on the 3rd if we don't pay them. The lady at the counter next to me was talking to a different representative and they figured out that she wouldn't be able to keep her appointment on the 10th of November. I asked my representative if I could fill in that appointment that had just opened up. She said yes and so that worked out to be not as bad.
Then, on the drive over to a place with free wi-fi, I passed by a church with a marquee out front that said, "God's delays are not God's denials." That got me thinking that everything will work itself out. It was incredibly encouraging to remember that there is a bigger picture that today's trifles are just a small part of.

My Writing These Days
So much has been going on in our lives lately I haven't had much time to write. I've been donating my plasma at CSL twice a week, calling a billion organizations and churches all over Tucson for rent and utility assistance to avoid getting our electricity shut off or getting evicted. We've enlisted the assistance of the offices of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords in our attempts to get our SSI, Disability, VA benefits or GI Bill to come through. We always run out of food stamps before the end of the month and, without income, that is not a good thing. We have a yard sale every week and still we struggle. My psychiatrist just doubled my anti-depressant dosage and will be getting me into therapy soon.
Good news is that we're still writing plenty of music. We have several new songs in the works. Our productivity with our creativity helps to keep us sane. I've decided to put 'The Nocent part 3: Revenant War' on hiatus for a little while after Monday's debut of Chapter 19. I have also put 'The Nidus Initiative' on hold indefinitely. I plan, however, to start writing 'The Greater Number 2: Devoid of Souls' soon.

New Things
Kayla and I have been writing a lot of music lately. If you go to our MySpace page you can hear our new songs, 'Ariah', an instrumental, and '4N6 of Life'. Also, I've uploaded my zombie movie, 'The Smell of Fear', to Film Demic and it's also on YouTube and our MySpace page.

Books for the Homeless
Last night, as I was lying down to sleep, an idea came to me. If amazon.com made a deal with Good Will of some company like that, they could have a win-win-win-win situation. Here's my idea: people who donate their paperback books, get credits toward electronic books for their Kindle. The homeless will have access to literature at discount prices, Good Will will make some money off the books, the donator gets ebooks and amazon.com gets people buying Kindles and shopping at amazon.com.

Blogging From My Kindle
It's quite cool what I'm able to do on my Kindle. I can hook it up to my car and have my own book read to me while I drive. I can update our Netflix queue, check emails and even blog. Now we have a way to do all those things even if we lose our Internet and cable because they have free wi-fi at the plasma lab. It's a good thing my mother-in-law won this Kindle in a sweepstakes and gave it to us. Oh, and we finally got our food stamp card yesterday.
