Angels and Demons by Dan Brown
Dan Brown wrote Angels and Demons. This is not his first book, and for those who have been in a bookstore within the past year you know that he has a wickedly popular book that follows up Angels and Demons – dealing with the same principle character, a professor of art history at Harvard University.

It’s Bloggering time. Okay. That was a rip from the Fantastic Four, the Thing, Marvel Comics. But still, I am here to blog, baby.
Basically, things have gone from bad to… worse. Seems that the hospital finally sent me my bill and it was pretty significant. Shook my world. Caused me to fall into some kind of intense sweat, and now I am wondering how I am going to pay it. Money is so dirty. Anyway, got a second bill today from the x-ray department for the x-rays, which, just so you know, were included in the original bill and that takes me higher. Oh, so much higher.

American Gods
American Gods is written by author Neil Gaimon. Mr. Gaimon is best known for his work on DC Comics The Sandman series. I’ve never read The Sandman and couldn’t offer any ideas or insights on what it’s like or how it turned out, but I have recently read two of his books, American Gods and Neverwhere.

I work at Borders. This is not something that I enjoy. I’m not exactly certain whether or not this is directly related to working with books all day long (yeah, an oxymoron I’m sure), or if it has more to do with the nature of the job: directly interacting with the buying public; of course it could be the rock solid work schedule and lack of forgiveness when I need/want to call in sick. In any case, I am not happy at my present position.

Since moving to the east coast I have found, as usual, that the people I tend to rely on are the ones I meet at church. I met Andy at church, more specifically through church, at an institute class my dad was teaching in Copperas Cove, TX. He’s someone I’ve kept in touch with. However, since moving out here there’s been a half dozen people who’ve taken the time to be interested in me and what I am trying to do… mostly its getting to Boston, but that’s another story another time.

You know. Sometimes life just feels as though it is falling away from you. Not literally. Literally would probably be scary and this isn’t meant to frighten.

So, my life got flipped, turned upside down. As of yesterday, February 1, 2005, I am no longer a full time day student at Southern New Hampshire University and am relegated back to the declination of night student starting in March. The details of why I have fallen, so far, are not important, but the notion that I am not pursuing the dream… you know, go to school full time, has been shattered. Regardless, I am taking it rather well, looking forward to the next two classes (at night) and wondering what the future holds.
