November 25 - And it happened again. After a ten hour shift at the dumb "real" job, I knew that I was going to run out of energy as I posted "make up" entries here in The WOMP-Blog, but I still wasn't prepared for how quickly sleep overcame me. At about 1:30AM, I finished the "November 24" entry below, then stepped away from WOMPuter 4.0 to get something to drink. Somewhere between my desk and the refrigerator, I more or less collapsed into a chair. That's where I found myself when I woke up a short while ago. You know, I often kid about having narcolepsy, but I'm starting to wonder. Of course I had every reason to be exhausted, but sleep still hit me less like a rest, and more like a seizure. Oh, well. That's how it goes, I guess. Speaking of "how it goes," I have to talk about a couple of things that I've been continually forgetting as I go along this week. They are...
- A shout out to fellow Thanksgiving-is-no-day-off working man, Brent. I feel you, man. Hang in there (retrospectively...).
- A reminder to fellow so-busy-that-the-blog-suffers friend, Derek. You wanted to talk to me about something?
- An explanation to you why-am-I-reading-this-junk WOMP-Blog readers. For those of you who read this via the traditional WOMP-Blog page on the johnmundtesquire.com site (as opposed to the newer WOMP-Blog Archives page hosted on LiveJournal), you may notice that I have not removed October's entries from this page, as I normally might have. In part, that's because of all of the computer problems of the first part of this month, but it is also so that you can more easily refer to them as I (someday) continue writing The Forbidden Territory. Although I hope that the story will stand on it's own, it is also intended to "reward" any of you who faithfully waded through "Forbidden" WOMP Characters Month. You will probably see some things coming before they are revealed in the script. As a reader, that is something that I enjoy, so I thought you would too. Which brings me to...
- A sixty-seventh apology to you no-seriously-why-am-I-reading-this-junk WOMP-Blog readers. No more story this time around. I really, really hope to get to it later today. Really! I have another stint at the dorky "real" job in a bit, but it shouldn't be much longer than a normal shift, so I hope to have some time and energy reserves set aside for writing. Just in case, here are the last doubled "Just One More" installments, your Just One More Comic Book Love Interest of The Day - Raina, and Just One More Star Wars Comic Book Character of The Day - Zayne Carrick!
