For Claire

My sister, Claire Reid, wants me to update my blog. I really should, but unfortunately...

I'm so tired right now. Things have gotten very busy.  That being said, this won't be very long or very informative.

I'm Columbus right now (as I have been since Saturday, June 28th), at the Mississippi University for Women.  I'm staying in Columbus Hall ALL BY MYSELF, as no other male Governor's School staff have arrived (and reasonably so, seeing as how they aren't needed here until a few days from now.  Anyway. This dorm is haunted, or so I believe.  HEY NOW. BEFORE YOU CALL ME CRAZY, I KNOW THAT I'VE HEARD DOORS SLAM.

Anyway. I'm gonna be working on Governor's School stuff from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and then moving into my  stuff from my old apartment to my new apartment in Starkville in the evenings...from now until about Friday.

Um. Yeah. I have to go now though. I need to decide whether I wanna work on MGS stuff or go to sleep. One HAS to happen soon. (This is what's GONNA happen: I'm gonna TRY to work on stuff, then get REALLY sleepy. Just wait.)

McCoy out.

Got Sued?

I got a comment on my first post from Jerome Bixby (even though he's been dead for thirteen years) saying he'll see me in court. Although he's dead (and obviously joking, by the way), I think now's a good time to point out how I came up with the name of my blog.  Ghost Jerome is correct; I got the idea from the film The Man From Earth (which, by the way, is an AMAZING film and everyone should see it immediately after reading this).  I won't give the plot of the film away, but I just wanted to say that I got the name of my blog from that.

Mainly because I couldn't think of anything better; "Martin's Blog" sounded stupid, obviously.

Also, now that's said, I want to let everyone know why I started blogging. I'll be going to Quebec in July, and I really wanted to blog about my trip.  So, to get in the habit of blogging (even though the word "blogging" for some reason makes me cringe), I made a general one to use before my trip.

So there you have it.  The explanation of the name and the purpose of the blog.

P.S. - RIP Jerome Bixby

First Post

Alrighty. First post.

This is just going to be a test run, so to speak. I haven't blogged about anything in MANY years.

I'm hoping if you're reading this, you already know who I am. If not, however, that's fine by me. I've made this open to the public on purpose. Anybody who is interested/curious/bored enough to read what I have to say is more than welcome to do so.

First posts are supposed to be lame, right?
