The party's name is the Democratic Party. It has been since 1830. Please spell correctly.

Whenever I hear a politician speaking strongly for or against abortion, all I hear is, "I have no idea how to fix the economy!"

That's part of the basis for my fanfiction stories.  Someone gets a hold of one of Sid's holocrons and attempts to rebuild the Sith.

I just finished reading Star Wars: Scoundrels by Timothy Zahn. Was pretty good, and was basically a Ocean's 11 type heist set in the Star Wars Universe, and takes place right after the Battle of Yavin, and the DeathStar destruction. No force users in the book, but we do get Han, Chewie, and Lando in it, plus a whole host of others, including the EU's Winter(Leia's BFF and "sister").

Going to start The Hobbit, I read it before, but I want to refresh my memory for the next 2 installments of the movie.

Kemp:  The Road to Crecy  An excellent book, better even than Bernard Cornwell's series, meticulously researched with a very sympathetic protagonist (in the middle of the Hundred Years War, he opposes the common beliefs and says that rape and looting is wrong.  Compare that to Cornwell's series) which sadly only ever get to two books.

Finally made it to volume V of Les Miserables. Finally.

I'm not even joking when I say I picked this up from the library.



I spend about an hour reading every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at the library because I carpool with my brother to class, and he has an hour long class right after my last one. On any day of the week, I'm usually reading a copy of Science or Mental Floss. Sometimes I'll pick up something else like Environment or Scientific American or American Rifleman or, of course, National Geographic, but I always pick up a copy of Science. Unsurprisingly, I'm one of about two people that reads Science in that library. Everyone else goes for People or Us or something like that, but it's not like I expected to not see these people in community college. Anyways, sometimes I'll go and check out books on evolution or environmental conservation, but yesterday I realized there's a whole section in the library for medicine, and I've taken an interest lately. So of course I went for the biggest, baddest book they had available. I tend to not really take the books out of the library because 1. I don't have a backpack, 2. nobody ever checks out the books I want, and 3. I'd look fucking weird carrying around a ten pound book simply titled Textbook of Medicine. Sadly, my brother's taken to skipping his classes, so my reading time gets shaved a bit, and I haven't really gotten into this one. It has a gnarly picture of neurofibromatosis the first few pages in. Nice.

I finished reading Mother Night by Kurt Vonnegut a few weeks ago. It was a good book, I defnitely recommend it for anyone out there.

I finished Altered Carbon and now I'm working my way through Broken Angels By Richard K. Morgan.  Very good cyberpunkish stories.
