Wow, two posts in as many days! Unbelivable, no? In case you missed it, I saw and reviewed "Watchmen," which is the next post down.

I'm sure there will be a point where I'll stop giving updates every day about my journey to permanently label myself a non-smoker, but it's at least giving me incentive to write. Which isn't as important for my creative outlets as it is to you, my readers, whose lives fall apart and collapse in on themselves when they go more than forty-eight ( Read more... )
