The Dark Tower

So, I've had a couple of these books for a while (thanks Berserk), and even picked up a couple on my own, at a severely discounted price of 1 or 2 dollars each.  This left me owning #3, #4, #6, and #7.  Recently, on a trip to one of my college roommate's wedding reception, I picked up book #1 for the flight home.  It was really good.  Might have lasted me until the second day of owning it, but I think I finished it the same day I bought it.  Now I'm almost finished with #2, also quite good.

Oh, I know I said a Hawaii post was coming, and it's still on the way, just got preempted by this one.

back from the dead

For the record, I am not a zombie, just recently recovered from the worst flu I've ever had. I picked it up as a last minute souvenir from my trip to Hawaii (another post to follow later). This flu was bad enough that I missed a few days of work, and the worst of it is I didn't even feel good enough to go downstairs and play FF13. Tragedy at its worst.

Luckily, now that I'm feeling well, I can eat again. As Sarah described in her post, this flu wasn't even merciful enough to make you not hungry. The first thing I ate after feeling better was grilled cheese. The second? totally awesome habanero Cheetos. They far surpass the flaming hot Cheetos, even with the lime.

Oh, and since we haven't bought cereal since coming back from our trip, I had cream of wheat for breakfast. It seemed like a good idea to add some fun-size candy bars to it, so in went 2 tiny nestle crunch bars. It smelled like I wanted it to taste, unfortunately, it tasted more like some watered down chocolate flavoring had been added. Definitely not the best cream of wheat idea, and definitely not recommended.
