under siege

The bird is gone, and I was able to take a shower. I don't know what the hell that was about.

***********************************

Some crazy-ass bird (looks like a giant hummingbird to my mind) keeps flying up and slamming its beak into the wire-mesh window above my shower. It's been doing this for about 20 minutes now, for no known reason, but it's scaring the crap out of me. So I'm hiding in my bedroom, unclean, waiting for the madness to end.

Also, trying to think up an 80s power ballad for www.barrelhousemag.com.

Also, trying to work on my thesis...
