Captain's Log:

England and Germany are both 2-0 now after their first two games of the European Championship 2008 Cup qualifiers. England beat Andorra 5-0 and then Macedonia 1-0, while Germany beat Republic of Ireland 1-0 and then San Marino 13-0. That was awesome. I wish I could have watched that game.

I finished another book yesterday. The Tom Clancy Power Plays book that I was reading. I started Xenocide by Orson Scott Card today, which is the third book in the Ender series. I loved the first book and after about 50 pages in the second book I was into the story, so I am hoping that this one will be as good.

I drove to Orlando yesterday for class, and it was a total waste of time. I hate it that I have to drive an hour there and then an hour back just to sit in a lab for 40-50 minutes. Oh well, when the semester is over, I will not have to worry about it any more.

Good news! Sony has once again delayed the release of the Gaystation 3 in Europe. It also cut its supply in the US in half. I hope sony GS3 bombs. That would be great.

That is about all for now.

Later,

Well, Saturday is over. I did not travel to the UCF game in Orlando tonight. I was going to be going by myself, and the idea of having to pay 20-30 dollars in gas did not appeal to me.

I did, however, finish my book The Edge of Darkness. Awesome book, but then, I only read awesome books. I will be in charge of the sound room tomorrow, so I need to get to bed now, but I did feel the need to post about my latest book. The Edge of Darkness is the fourth book in a series about a Biblical Archeologist. Throughout the series, he has uncovered such artifacts as the bronze serpent of Moses, the ark of Noah, the writing on the wall in Babylon, and in this latest book he went in search of the manna and Aaron's rod in the ancient temple of Dagon. Unfortunately, I will have to wait for another year for both the new Shannara book as well as the fifth in this series.

I am now finishing Tom Clancy's Power Plays book ruthless.com. This is the second book in a series of eight. I am trying to quickly race through this series and catch up with the author. The next book I am going to check out, I believe, is Eldest by Christopher Paolini. I would like to get completely caught up with that series as well.

I went to the beach today for the second time this week. For the past month, I have been taking advantage of our proximity to the beach. Today, Luke and Brad came along.

That is all for now.

Later,

Well, it has been quite some time. I have not had the desire to log into this website and log any of my thoughts away. I am way overdue. A lot has happened in the last month, but I will not be able to go over all of it today.

DJ has been living in my house for about a month now, since he was ejected from his own home. That has been cool. Otherwise, things around here have been going pretty much the same as usual.

I finished the new Shannara book last night. It was the first in the series of what could be a six to nine part series. They will tell the story of the Great Wars and how the earth and mankind survived to be reborn. Sweet books. That was his 18th book in the Shannara series.

Now I am half-way through the new book from Tim Lahaye called Edge of Darkness. It is about a Biblical Archeologist in search of Aaron's budding rod and the jar of manna from the Ark of the Covenant.

We had our first soccer game tonight against Calvary Baptist. They are terrible this year, and we should have whipped them, but we ended the game in a tie. We were winning 2-1 and then they tied the game with only five minutes left.

Our volleyball team has had four of their games, and they have vastly improved since last year. They have won a few sets, and while they are still looking for thier first win, they are playing well.

I finished the Lords of the North book by Bernard Cornwell and it was so good. I also learned that there will be at least two more books in that series. That is awesome.

Well, that will be all for tonight I believe. I just wanted to post about the new Shannara book mostly. I will not go into too much detail, so that I do not ruin the story for those who have not read it...Marc, Mark, Robert, Matthew, Chris and others.

All right,

Lorimer
