It Was a Dark a And Stormy Night Award

"Detective Bart Lasiter was in his office studying the light from his one small window falling on his super burrito when the door swung open to reveal a woman whose body said you've had your last burrito for a while, whose face said angels did exist, and whose eyes said she could make you dig your own grave and lick the shovel clean."


Jim Guigli wrote that purple prose. It won him this year's Bulwer-Lytton Prize.

I read the winners every year, but this is the first one which made me snort out loud. Good work, Jim!

It was One Of Those Days™

( Tales of Woe behind the cut )

One good thing, after work I hopped on my bike and took the Stevens Creek Trail to Microsoft, and it's only a little over a mile and a half one way. Ten minutes of easy bicycling. The bad news is they only have one bike thingie at that building, only room to park 2 bikes. I'll also have to see if shorts are acceptable to wear, since it's a lot easier to bike in them. It's not enough of a ride to even breathe hard, let alone break a sweat, so no need to change or shower.
