I just finished reading "My War: Killing Time in Iraq" by Colby Buzzell. Its a "blook" (a really stupid work for a book based on a blog). I've been reading it for 2 days and have become very attached to the narrator/Colby. I always feel kinda sad when I finish a book that I really loved. I guess you know its a good book when you're upset that its ( Read more... ) -

I got started kind of late on Friday because I got lost on my way to my aunts making me miss the second morning session, meaning that the first panels I would ( Read more... ) -

Wow. The weather here has been C-R-A-Z-Y!
It's been stormy for at least the past week or so, especially for the past two or three days. I always seem to work during these mega storms.
