Sheesh we're all busy nowadays...
Feh, I miss the time when I could read a book straight through.
Meh, busy sucks.
Ah well.
Probably gonna get some more books soon though, and I'm happy just to have something new to read at all.

Read Artemis Fowl & the Time Paradox. Nice, but I liked the 5th better.
If you are wondering how I got time to read it, I just said 'heck with journals!' & got a wigging from my teacher.

Started with Twilight, it's cool.
Might take several days to complete it though (due to my inordinately busy scheadule).
Edit- I completed it last night. It was wonderful-even the romantic parts weren't banal.

It wasn't really bad! Yeah, true I got bored with the romantic parts after some time, but they written differently. It's nice to read something unique for a change.

On that note, a gun/ammo store recently opened near my neighborhood. I now have a place of repose if and when Z-Day occurs.

Tsk, every moron in the neighbourhood is going to head straight for the gun store on Z day. Not a good plan. You want to have stocked up in advance and be ready to head in the other direction.

Every moron in the neighborhood will be dead.
