i write on a rainy october day

· · 🌡️ 49°F

I just read on yahoo news that the winds in California aren't supposed to be as severe today, so hopefully the fires won't spread as fast as they were yesterday. I feel so bad for everyone having to deal with this. I hope everything will be okay for anyone here who might be affected by it.

Thanks so much to everyone with the cooking advice! That was awesome and much appreciated. It's funny... I tried to cook chicken-flavored rice a roni the other day and butchered it. It tasted like barbeque-a-roni.

I'm mostly doing pretty good. School is going well and things at my job are fine, though, it's stressful keeping up with everything. I've been battling a bunch of respiratory infections. I think because my immune system is kind of down from being on prednisone. Maybe I should take more Vitamin C or something.

I've been reading a lot of Charles Bukowski lately. It's really easy to get into a Bukowski mindset. I'd like to try reading some of his fiction, too.

I hope all of you will have a great day!

    Careful with the Bukowski, I remember reading some of him with Tom Waits playing on the Ipod, had a sudden craving for bourbon.

    I could handle some Bourbon. I'm also craving some Tom Waits:).

    Bukowski and Waits is a fine combo.

    Allen Ginsberg read his poem America with a Tom Waits composition for the piece. It is really nice.

    If you like Bukowski you should read Robert Creeley. I don't know why more people don't read him.

    People don't really know much about him, which is a shame considering his association with our area. Plus its neat to have a connection to the Beats locally, if you ask me anyway.

    Creeley is another poet I really enjoy reading, definitely.
