Hamster Town has been invaded by the ever-elusive gray tabby cat. It is no longer safe here.

A Brave New Blog

So, I think I am going to start a new blog. This one is getting poopy and depressing because I have no one to rant at. Therefore this will be my last entry and I will work on designing a new one!! Woo hoo!

Ender's Game Books 3 and 4

So I started "Children of the Mind" before "Xenocide" by Orson Scott Card in error. Now I'm almost done with "Xenocide" which surrounds the following problem: stopping the Lusitania fleet from reaching and destroying the planet, finding a way to destroy the descolada virus without killing the piggies, using faster-than-light flight, and Ender's wife has left him. So sad.

Except for the paragraphs of talking and talking just to reach a conclusion it is a good book. I guess you can't expect a fast paced book.

More TV to ignore

Now that I have 200 channels at my fingertips instead of 10 I still have nothing to watch. It is all junk and children under age 2 are not supposed to watch television anyway. None of my shows will be on until September... which all you need is some rabbit ears for.

New books I finished: "Shadow Puppets" and "Shadow of the Hegemon" were recent books I finished in my quest to complete the Ender's Game series. Very good - though the Bean and Petra subplot seems a little far-fetched. Oh well - I hope he gets the new book out soon to tie together some questions.

Attended Kindermusik with Maddox today and I wasn't that impressed. I thought that the Gateway Music teacher did a much better job and had a better program put together. Maddox just wanted to play in the kitchen with the cabinets. I certainly will not pay $60 for playing with kitchen cabinets.
