Monsters in the Basement

I haven't written a poem for over four years, and it felt good to put pen to paper again. I realize the poem itself isn't of great standard, but the rythme flows and seemed songish. Heavy Shelley influence, I think. Perhaps this new sprung creativity bodes well for me. Staying up late, writing, counting meter, flowing words... it's a feeling I sorely missed.

I also talked to Sonja last night. I reconnected in a lot of ways yesterday. Things are looking up. I told her I'd call her on sunday night, so I can talk to her a little longer without having to be sleeping. I knew today was going to be busy, so I couldn't stay up too late. She reminded me I have to get some chocolate. :)

Tonight the plan is to get to bed early. The shift is starting to wear on me, but I'm on day 12 with only 5 days to go. I don't want to plan the weekend yet, but I'm in store for a new look to the house. Since I've been gone, the flooring in the two bedrooms have been installed, Diane painted the bedrooms, she bought a new bed and an amoire, and moved my bookcases into the basement. That means the basement is officially my sanctum >:) Bwahahahaa!!! I'm going to to the suite downstairs into a library/study, and the bedroom down there into a room for my toys. Change. Lots and lots of change. New armor, new bedroom, new study, new job, new residence (not my home), new computer, new poem....

she wouldn't tell me. She wants to surprise me :)

I'm excited!! She's not going to bug me about having odd crap around the house anymore \O/

very cool! as long as she didn't paint the bedrooms red. ye gods! I hope she went something soothing/calming.

Are you going to renovate the downstairs now?

I'm going to have to. I'll likely start small, put in new carpet and take out the kitchen down there.

No, not red. That's our living room :)

very good then! and small changes like carpet and paint are perfect. Try a nice burbur(sp?) and a soft almond paint colour downstairs.

Perhaps it's a ploy to wall me up, a la E.A. Poe

hilarious. you should read Brimstone by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. You'd love the main character, Agent Pendergast.
