  • 24 Read all the way through, 9 more partially read

    The BBC believes most people will have only read 6 of the 100 books here. How do your reading habits stack up??

    Instructions:
    Look at the list and put an 'x' before those you have read.

    (I noticed that there were quite a lot that I had read portions of, so I put a / in front of the ones that I started but didn't, couldn't or haven't finished yet--mainly to make myself feel better.)

  • I'm alive

    I just wanted to let you all know that I am still alive...school is killing me. I don't know if I'm going to make it through another year and a half of this garbage. But good news: I get to go back to Mexico this summer! Four weeks in Guadalajara...I'm going to try to use the thought of it to sustain me through this semester.

  • The Greatest Generation

    Hi everyone. I'm writing today because I wanted to share something with you all. As some of you know, my mother's family lives in Colorado, in a town named Greeley. Well, recently the Greeley Tribune ran a series about World War II veterans living in Greeley, and they interviewed my grandfather and wrote a really nice article about him. I always knew my grandfather fought in the war, and that he was at D-Day and The Battle of the Bulge, but I never realized how incredible his story actually is. According to the article, when he landed at Utah Beach on D-Day, he was part of a company of 200 men, but only 6 of them survived the war. So basically what I'm saying is that you should read the article, because it's really interesting, and it's about my grandfather! He really is a hero, and I'm proud to be a part of his family.

    The story can be found here. Read it.

    Related: Crimes, I suggest you use this for reference as you begin drafting the screenplay for The Banana Pact, coming soon to theaters nationwide.

  • Crimes was right

    Carey was right, that pornography post is too heavy for people to leave trivial comments on. So this can serve as a placeholder for now, until I eventually get around to maybe blogging again. Comments go here!
