I finished a book tonight at work. It's called 'Shogun' and it took me QUITE a while to read. It is 1152 pages and takes place in Japan during the early 1600's. I'm not going to try and explain it, because it's just too complex... But, I will say that the Samurai were quite an interesting people. I almost wish I lived with them back then.

My brother had a halloween party last night! It was lots o' fun!! Tons and tons of people showed up, they had a band playing in the basement, and I was dressed up in a full body suit as Satan from South Park.

I am very tired. I think I'll go to sleep now...

Yay! I got a new phone! It's not a super nice one, but it's a little better than my old one. But, I'm not used to it yet, and the menu's don't seem to be as user friendly as my other phone.

OMG!! I just saw on the news that there is some guy robbing homes around the Orchard Lake/Farmington area. He's gotten into over 30 homes through open garages and other doors. He wears the same mask from the "Scream/Scary Movie" movies.

Thank you, God, for ending this day. I've been operating on roughly 4 hours of not so good sleep and have been up since 430am. I flew on 2 planes, drove for about 3 hours, and then spent 3 hours pushing my physical abilities for my Aikido class and test. I am totally pooped. Not to mention, I still have a cold. My ears plugged up on the plane ( Read more... )

Aww.... I don't want to go home tomorrow :( I've been out of town for a week now, and it's been a wonderful, but sad, 7 days. Last Wednesday, I helped Dustin and Linnea pack their home up into a 16 foot Pensky truck. We were on the road around 9pm with my mom and Evan following us. We stopped at a hotel around 4am and were back on the road ( Read more... )
