Rant of an insensitive madman?

Well it would seem that my last post was, well, a while ago. It would appear that my ambition to keep up to date on posts has once again gone by the wayside. What have I been up to if not actively blogging? Well the answer to that is simple. Not much.  I have… …more

Under the Dome: A review

Yesterday I finished reading Stephen King’s novel, “Under the Dome”. This is the first novel I’ve actually finished reading from him in a while – last one being “The Cell”. I generally find his writing either hit or miss with me – this book is reminiscent of his earlier Bachman books, which I did enjoy… […]

…Braaaaaaaaaaaains!

Ok, so this weekend I didn’t see a new movie. Total sad face. My movie night seems to be becoming a bi-weekly thing cuz there just isn’t much good stuff coming out. There were only 2 movies that I could have been talked into paying to see; Paranormal Activity 2 and Hereafter. I know I… […]

I haven’t made any jewellery in a while (the metal and beads aren’t speaking to me) but I have started writing again, doing some calculus (Cory still thinks… […]

Time Filler

On Tuesday I quit my job. I think I did the right thing. I am sleeping more, I feel rested, and I am not utterly annoyed at the end of the day. There is only one regret I have though. I had a post all prepared to be posted and I didn’t and it is… […]
