Not quite a Jack Bauer day, but it sure tried.

'Bout 24 hours ago, CNN and other news agencies reported that 12 of 13 coal miners trapped in a mine in Tallmansville, West Virginia, were alive. My employer, and a great number of other similar companies, printed front pages reporting this.

This morning, when I woke up, I turned on the radio - local AM station, as I usually go to sleep listening to Coast to Coast AM. First thing I hear, the numbers were backwards. 1 survivor. Damn.

My car's alternator failed. Tegyrius and Hillthug and I got it to Hillthug's house (hooray for trucks that can tow things), and he's going to replace the alternator tomorrow. He's the man, for those of you what don't know him.

Gotta get to bed.

He's Lost Control

Got the Mustang back tonight - thanks, little brother. You're the best.

Fairly down tonight. Huge talk with Mom&Dad coming up tomorrow, and it's going to be hard. My lack of personal responsibility has caught up with me and something fierce.

Cross-training at work is going well. Made a handful of ads today. Fairly simple ones, and repetitive, but they looked good when I was done.

I should go to bed.
