I remember my non new years resolution. HONEST!
it's just difficult to keep.
Yesterday, I was Sleeping Beauty and slept like the dead because I had a fever.
Now, after being on bed rest, and then walking to Phil's place for dinner, I feel as good as new and must honor my goal of trying to post a decent update everyday.
Just recently, I've been getting back into reading. Not so much back into as it's always been my thing, but I'd say actively devoting more time towards the written word.
I'm now going through 4 books at a time. :D
The Stand - the book nearly everyone recognizes Stephan King. On loan from a friend and avid Stephan King fan.

The boy who came back from heaven - a true story about a boy's miraculous healing. A Christmas present from Daniel, Michelles dad.

Hearts in Atlantis - I'm actually not sure how to describe this one even if I'm halfway through...haha. A lonely boy with an estranged mother befriends a eccentric old man who loans a room from them, but when the old man's past and eccentric-ness catches up with him, the boy learns his secrets, and makes enemies? Oh well. I'll make a review about it when I'm done. - from the complete Stephan King e-book collection that Phil downloaded for me.

Skeleton Crew - actually this counts as a few more books, since it's a collection of Stephan King's short stories, or novellas. Halfway through 'The mist'. -from the complete Stephan King e-book collection that Phil downloaded for me.
Yes.
I am a serious Stephan King fan.

So as not to bore you guys to death with what I've been reading, moving on!
There's a great tv show you guys have got to see, it's simply genius.
It's called 'Whose Line Is It Anyway?' and it's all about stand up comedy. They have these 4 guys, and everything is done on the spot.
It's an older show, and they've stopped ages ago, it's still GOLD.
They have all sorts of things they need to think of. They make songs, have 'dating shows', talking only with song titles, you name it. It's really good.
Serious, at least watch one of them.
Anyhow I must sleep or I wont hear the end of it, and I don't fancy being sickly a moment longer.
Goodnight all

I just finished reading 'Carrie' and I believe it's one of those books you have to read. Not only is it full of vivid description, realistic characters, and contains Stephan King's fantastic lilt into fantasy, it's also a very heartbreaking read.
The story pulls you into the life of a mistreated and trampled down young girl, who also has telekinesis.

My first introduction to the book was a friend of mine telling me how I would enjoy this book.
He told me the plot line, how it was written to jump back and forth between 'news articles' and 'statements' then the story, what he didn't tell me about was how gripping the story would be. He didn't tell me how it would make you feel like you were living inside the book and experience yourself the pain and the thrill of being Carrie.
The book isn't very long, only 86 pages long, well not very long compared to other works of by King.
The only 'issue' I'd say that bothers me, is the portrayal of Christians. Carrie's mother is a Christian, but is portrayed as a 'freak' and easily on the mental side. As a Christian, it's kind of insulting how they would twist Bible scripture, and depict Christ as being scary, the root of the problem, or why Carrie had issues.
Even then, I guess, there are bad apples in every barrel.


I'm so glad I was able to read this book, even if it wasn't in paperback (sitting down with a book is now a luxury), and it didn't lessen from the read. If ever you have spare time, and feel like reading something out of the ordinary, I'd recommend Carrie.
