Ah, time to post once again.

As stated by my friend April, the next Harry Potter book is coming out in 10 days, and we can hardly wait. (Also 10 days until Sarah's b-day!) I'll be doing a show that night, but right after that I'll be going over to Barnes & Noble for the tail end of the release party. I may stay up extremely late reading the book, but I believe I have a matinee that day, so the book may need to wait.

A few weeks ago, me and a bunch of my friends went to the Adirondacks for a three day hiking trip. Here is a website made by my friend Ben Goodrich, which tells about one of the mountains we climbed, with photos taken by yours truly. http://www.geocities.com/hawkman917/
We had a pretty good time on that trip, even after spending a few hours on the top of a mountain in the pouring rain, while waiting for a rescue crew. (A story that I believe can be found on Andrea's LJ page. lol.)

I think I'll take this time to state how much being a non-drinker can hinder your socializing chances. There was another birthday in the cast today, so a lot of the cast went out to a bar. I don't have anything against that, and there was a proper reason (21st b-day). Any other time though, I just don't see how a bar can be relaxing after three or so hours of rehearsal, lol. I much prefer the nights we go out to Skylark, Cyber Cafe, or Barnes & Noble. Oh well, to each their own.

I've been spending a lot of time in China recently. Well, videogame time, that is. A week ago I bought "Romance of the Three Kingdoms X", which is a historical simulation game covering the "Three Kingdoms" Era, roughly around 200 AD, if I remember correctly. In the game, you can play as nearly any historical character, or create your own General and play as a free officer or be the leader of your own faction. The game play is kind of tough to explain, but it's a ton of fun. The game lets you create 110 of your own Generals, so I've pretty much put everyone I know into the game. One day I may write up a story about a play-through of the game, and you can all see your names in it, lol. I've also been playing "Dynasty Warriors 5" a lot too, which covers the same time in history, but is more of an arcade/beat'em-up. I love this time in history, and if I could find a way to choose a major in college based around it, I would. Unfortunately, after doing some research, I discovered that this Era only lasted around 200 years, and is extremely tiny compared to the rest of China's history, and any actual knowledge of this Era is more than likely only 70% truth (as stated in the Novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".) Perhaps I could major in Chinese Folklore?

No weird dreams to report, so I guess that's it for tonight. Talk to ya all later!
