Indigo Rain was another new release at Further Confusion. I honestly didn’t know much about it before I got to the convention; actually I knew nothing about it.

So naturally I got a new book to read first and foremost. Kyell Gold's new cupcake Winter Games and I finished it within a day of starting it. I think I clocked in at ( Read more... )

In other news I finished my final for the online class I was taking. I'm positive I did well on it and I was getting a 98% in the class so even if it isn't great it won't kill my GPA.

So this weekend I was at Rocky Mountain Fur Con.

I had a great time.
