Strobe

The bus ride home had a strobe light thing going -- one of the lights in the back was flashing, made me think I was playing "Half-Life" on my commute home. Fortunately, I missed the first bout of stormage that hit.

I'm going to whip up some dinner in a few. Hungry!

Got free chocolate this morning -- some reps were giving away Dove Chocolates to passersby. It made for an ironic image, like assorted pedestrians with handfuls of chocolate, and derelicts eating Dove Chocolates from corners, down the path from the reps.

"...and his eyes gleamed..." (same paragraph as the first gleaming-eyed bit)
"...grinning maniacally..."

Book Report Voice: I think this character is going crazy.
