Hope’s End

Thursday, February 5th, 2004

For no reason what so ever, I picked up Hope’s End by Stephen Chambers when I was at the library. I also picked up the sequel, Hope’s War while I was at it. I finished Hope’s End and while it’s good, I found it a bit hard to follow at times. There were a lot of things that didn’t quite make sense or add up. It was like when I saw the Matrix movies and there was information in the first one that was explained in the second one, etc etc. Basically, Hope’s End was written with the intent of a sequel book. At least, that’s how it felt. I can’t say that’s bad but just not my preference for reading. I want to know what happens now! No delay, lol. Anyway, read on but be aware that I will be mentioning characters and spoilers. :) (more…)

Wouldn’t that smell?

A 72 year old man in England didn’t know his brother had died in his room. Somehow there was no smell emitting from the room and he didn’t think anything of it when he didn’t see his brother for 18 months. I don’t know about you but if I had a corpse decompose down to a skeleton, I’d probably notice!

Read the whole story.

Jason brought home the Slinky Pen home and told me I could have it. It’s so fun! Granted, I don’t think the slinky works as well as it could, but it’s a tiny metal slinky. I’m not all that surprised, ya know? Anyhow, it’s adorable and fun. Kind of reminds me of the 80s, lol.
