Something harmful or deadly

I have many mortal enemies. Here are a few.

Amphibians. They are just plain disgusting. I have batrachophobia. It's real. I can't explain why I'm afraid of them, but I feel like I'll have a heart attack when I see one. I would post a picture but when I looked at them I freaked out.

Wind. It's like God. But it sucks. I would post a picture but I don't think you'd see it.

The sun (sometimes). It seems like the sun wants to kill me when I'm driving. Also, skin cancer.

I guarantee there are more. I'll post them when I remember them.

Life in general(ities)

Many things have happened in the last month that are blog-worthy. I'm just too lazy and haven't had the urge to write. (Story of my blog, I suppose). I got married, moved out of the house, got bedroom furniture, somehow hurt my back and my foot is getting better. Cleverness eludes me. Maybe it's fatigue, maybe it's laziness. Life is going pretty well. Work is okay and money isn't that much of an issue (which is always weighing on my mind). I can see my wife whenever I want to (almost) and I can just be with her without having to leave at night. It's pretty great.

Aside: I picked up my bass for the first time in about 3 weeks. My fingers don't work anymore. It's pretty disconcerting. More practice is needed.

I have a bet with Alexa right now. She claims I can't read the slew of comic books I've gotten from the library in the past few weeks before they're due. If I lose I have to take Lucy out and feed her in the morning and evening. If I win she has to do the dishes by herself for a week. I hope I win. I hate waking up in the morning and taking the dog out. And dog poop is not my friend.

Book of the month

Shame on me. I only read one book this month. And it wasn't even really a book. It was a graphic novel called The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born. It's basically a retelling of the Stephen King saga about Roland Deschain and his quest for the Dark Tower.

The comic book format was interesting because I've already read the actual novels. The artists renditions of the characters didn't exactly fit what I imagined them to be, but it gave an intriguing perspective.

The series is going in chronological order starting in Roland's childhood. The novels were in no way chronological. Yet another interesting perspective. Reading this comic definitely rekindled my interest in writing a novel someday. It also rekindled my interest in reading the first four books of the Dark Tower series. I'll pass on the last three books. They were drivel. 4/5

Everything should taste like bacon?

I think I threw up a little in my mouth when I saw this.
