Another day, another dollar. I laid around in bed until almost one and then went to work at 2:30. It was me and Dread until about 5:30 or so, and then Junior came on shift. Nothing unusual to report. Fairly slow night, as a matter of fact. We closed at 10:30 and I was out of there by 12:30. I did, however, forget to clock in, so I'll have to get that squared away tomorrow.
Been watching and reading a lot of Kolchak lately. I'm currently sitting here watching The Night Strangler, and I'll probably knock out at least one episode before I go to sleep. I have no idea why, apart from the deep-seated suspicion that I should if not actually be some sort of crusading reporter tracking down the weird and unusual, then I should at least be writing novels or stories along that line. Or maybe they just appeal to me, as flawed as they are. Sort of like the Dirk Gently series, Kolchak's not perfect but I love the whole idea of a Front Page refugee going up against the hidden supernatural to protect an unknowing and uncaring world. If someone would write that with the humor and logic of Douglas Adams' Dirk Gently, I would totally read that.
I'm not gonna do it, though.
