Ever notice how it's the little things in life that amuse us so much? More to the point, ever notice how it's the silly little idiocies in life that amuse us more than anything else? Well, this is not as much ''the little blog that could'' as it is ''the blog that enjoys going up the down escalator in your local mall.'' Will it have anything of real importance? No, probably not. But enjoy the ride never the less!

 

It was inevitable, I suppose. Despite having seen this coming for a bit now, it's still managed to utterly blindside me. There were differences Mel & I couldn't reconcile, and so now she's down in Connecticut with her family...

...to attend her youngest sister's graduation.




So yes, Mel's currently away in CT for her sister's grad. I myself would have enjoyed being down there along with her, but sadly there's this issue with me needing to work in order to have money to pay rent. And food. And gas (though that's reaching ridiculous heights/lows as it is).

She's been gone for three days now, and won't be back up to yonder north until next Monday. Which means I'm being left to my own devices for just over a week.

And no, the operative word is not "panic."

I have, as a matter of fact, survived on my own as a bachelor before. I can certainly handle things on my own. I mean, it's not like this is the first time I accidentally blew up a toaster. And those scorch marks come right out of the ceiling with a little bit of bleach and elbow grease.

But in all seriousness, it is a little peculiar to suddenly have the place to myself. Oh, there are the pets, of course, and somehow Shady has managed to hog both pillows on the bed. And I have entertained myself between bouts of writing and hardlining Dexter s.2 and the Venture Brothers.

However...after nearly 5 years of being together, to have the place to myself for this duration has left me feeling quite out of sorts. Mel & I still try & talk online for a bit, but I do miss her. On Sunday, I invited a friend over so I wouldn't feel lonely. Yesterday I fell asleep snuggling her pillow. Today I've taken to sobbing over chocolates and watching our wedding video repeatedly.

I'm quite optimistic about tomorrow!

...you gave us so many amazing, iconic creatures. Though you've passed on the creativity, imagination and passion you put into all your masterpieces will live on.

Rest in peace, Stan Winston.
