Captain's Log:
Another couple of weeks have flown by. I have accomplished so much in so little time. That is not true, do not believe a word of it.
I finished Harry Potter 4, finally. I dropped it off at the library last week and picked up the 5th book, so that I can get started on the 870 page beast. I also finished Shadow of the Hegemon, though that was today. That was a great book; the sixth in a series of great novels. Orson Scott Card is an excellent author. I have now started a 24: Declassified book. I am testing this series out to see if it is any good. Stay tuned for some hard-hitting book critiquing.
Last week I purchased two new CDs; The Wedding's newest, Polarity, and Everlife's self-titled album. Both very good, but not quite as good as Anberlin's new album, Cities, which I got last month and forgot to mention.
I watched Manchester United come from behind and score the winning goal in the 91 minute to beat AC Milan in the first of two games for the Champion's League Semi-finals. Now, Liverpool just has to beat the Chelsea fags tomorrow, and it will have been a great round of Champion's League soccer.
I purchased a new book on Sunday...what a shock, right? It is called The Children of Hurin, and is written posthumously (quite mysterious and amazing) by J.R.R. Tolkein. In all actuality, his son put the book together from some of his father's writings, but what I said before sounded better. It looks very good, and I will be reading it soon...soon, my precious...
Anyway, enough weirdness for today; I have to eat. I will be back...someday.

Wow, another month and no posts. What a loser and wastrel I have been...lax in my duty to this time consuming practice. Well, since I have been gone, I have been busy to some extent. The main reason I have not posted is because I have been lazy, no motivation to type in this small white box.
Last night I finished the second season of The Office, which is a hilarious show and I cannot wait to start the third season. I also finished the newest Left Behind book last night, Kingdom Come, which was very good. That is the last one in the Left Behind series, bringing the total count of books to 16. The next book I need to finish is the fourt Harry Potter book, so that I can stay on schedule.
For the weekend, I have rented the NBA Live 07 game. It is one of the worst games I have ever played; however, I earned 650 gamerscore points in about an hour, so it was not all that bad. I also downloaded UNO, and earned most of the points from that game.
I finally did my taxes...today. I will have to drop them into the mailbox on Monday, so that they can get postmarked that night. In fact, I looked at my form from last year and saw that I had waited until just two days beforehand then as well. Maybe next year I will get them done in January or February...hmmmm, probably not.
I got a new phone while I was not posting. A Samsung Blackjack. I have just about finished moding my phone, and I have even written a new .xml for the homescreen. My new ringtone, an .mp3, is the theme song from the Office. I like the ringtone, but it is a mixed bag, for I now like it when people call, but I do not want to pick up the phone because I would rather listen to the ringtone than the person on the other end. This is not always true, but many times. ;)
I also purchased a great number of books over the past month. I was ordering Rachel's birthday gifts and I had to make sure the order went over $25 so that I could get free shipping. I bought Hood by Stephen Lawhead, The Dragon Hall Trilogy by Stephen Lawhead, and The Paradise War by Stephen Lawhead.
For anyone who enjoys reading the Shannara series I have few recommendations from Stephen Lawhead. The Song of Albion Trilogy is one of the best trilogies I have every read. Also, his Dragon Hall trilogy is awesome. The Left Behind Series, which I just finished, is good, but it is 16 books. I started reading the series when there were only five books, so it was not hard for me to catch up.
Well, this wholly uninteresting post has consumed too much of my time, and certainly loads of time that I am sure you wish you could have back.
Until next time,
Lorimer
