Xmas 2006 (part 1)

Tuesday, November 21st, 2006

So, I need to start telling people what I want for the holiday season. Fun. This year will most likely be small stuff that I can use around the apartment. That is generally the sort of thing that I’ve been needing anyway. Well, that and some more games. There’s always fun stuff to buy!
So far, [...]

Watership Down

Thursday, November 16th, 2006

I finished Watership Down last night around midnight. It was a very good read and I would recommend it. The plot seemed to waver at first until it really got into the main plot line. Unfortunately that wasn’t as much of the story as I would have hoped. The characters were developed and used [...]
