BYU Boys....!

He couldn't see me, but I could definitely see him! He had been doing this for long enough for me to think "Sheesh, I wish I had my camera," and then "Oh I actually have it with me," and then decide to actually get it out, and take the video... so he was pretty much just asking for it.

Angels and Airwaves: LOVE

This is Angels and Airwave's new album, Love. It came out in February, and it is free from the band's official site. Here's a link:


Go to "Music- Love" at the top, and then click on "Download."

I approve. It works well as an album, meaning no one song really sticks out as more/less exceptional, and it's pretty exceptional. This album could easily be the soundtrack to a sci-fi movie, so that's intriguing. I'm not giving up the Killers presently, but variety is postmodern (meaning, I like variety in my musical acquisitions).

Heir of Sea and Fire and Harpist in the Wind

First off, let me say how ridiculous these covers are. I couldn't find one, SINGLE, normal looking cover for these books. They're sooooo..... ugly.

I finished this trilogy, it began with "the Riddle Master of Hed," which I already wrote about. The story is good, but I have decided that I really want to re-write the whole thing. I think this was her first novel or something, and there are lots of things that I would change.

It could be re-released.... with a decent cover. And as one book. This really could be just one book.

What I found really surprising, was that the last book of the trilogy was nominated for a Hugo Award for best novel. Was 1980 just.... a really bad year?

The last book is a lot better than the first, as far as the writing goes. All together, however, this thing needs re-vamping.

Bugs

Small things intrigue me.
Some bugs just deserve to have their picture taken.
I killed this fly shortly after this picture was taken. He was one annoying bug. I actually took this after I'd clapped him and stomped him, and yet he lived.



I love bugs!
