so, finally, out of the sedentary boredom i've been subject to here at home while job hunting and puttering around the house, i finally got around to reading again. i decided to pick up red dragon, which i got a while back in a library sale. and god i forgot how much i love thomas harris. i named the silence of the lambs one of my favorite books a ( Read more... )

alright so, finally settling down to write a journal entry. lot to talk about, the biggest one in particular is that i got myself graduated on friday. the ceremony is done, the grades are in, now all i need is the diploma that i imagine will come in the mail at some point and it'll be all good. things were considerably less sentimental than i ( Read more... )
