Happy Saint Patrick's Day.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day everyone. Here in Michigan we call this Drunk Easter, or at least I do... But anyhow, since I don't want my blog to get pinched I'm giving it a green theme today.

Oh, on that note:

Enjoy!

PS, Book of the Day is posted.

So.

I've been looking at colleges lately, well, this is a complicated thing.

Ok, so I was going to go to this wonderful College in Grand Rapids to study journalism, until I got my financial aid package.. =(

It turns out I'm going to be 12k short of cash when everything, Soul selling. Student loans, Scholarships, and Grants aside. Now, there is another college roughly 60 miles from my sister, EMU, that has a creative writing program, and maybe a double major in Interior Design, for roughly a third of what I would be paying for at the Grand Rapids college. The question I'm debating is sell my soul get more student loans and study journalism and go to DC for a semester OR go to EMU. I'm going to think on it and hope I'm making the right decision.

Happy Trails.

Oh, book of the week coming tomarrow.

Magazines at the checkout aisle.

I was standing at the checkout isle today waiting to get my stuff and gtfo. I was bored so I began looking at the magazines. People, US, Ok, five variations of good housekeeping, those random tabloids nobody reads, when I noticed something.

There was not a single magazine a guy would be interested in. Sexist much, walmart? So I propose they start selling Wired, PC Gamer, and Car in driver next to the celebrity stupidity. Who knows it might make a few dollars, plus it would give the guys something to look at in line.

When in doubt blog it out or random stuff at 1am.

Okay. So I'm blogging, again. But I have no clue what to blog about so I'm just going to list some random things I avoid while doing anything productive.

1. TV Tropes. Good god, TV tropes. this website has distracted me more than any website, ever.

It's a soul sucking abyss.

2. Online Games. WoW, Farmville, Cafeworld, even Runescape gets an honorable (or is it horrible) mention for things to avoid even thinking about while trying to write or do homework.

3. Facebook, your just one Meme away from ruining your productive day.

4. Hyperbole and A half. Allie, the MS Paint wonder, has some of the funniest stuff I've ever seen, but it sucks my time second only to TV Tropes.

5. Blogs, in general. Yes, the very thing you reading. What exactly are you supposed to be doing right now? Hmm? Working? Homework? Nope, you're on my blog endangering your job or future.

6. Last but not least, Youtube. Skatingboarding Cat? Awesome. Sneezing baby panda? Super. Renditions of Going Through the Motions? Even better! put this all together and you have a good five hours wasted.

GO BACK TO WORK!

Happy Trails-

Justin

What have I been up to?

Well let's see, midterms, for starters, and drama practices which is boring, that evil thing I have to do between 12 and 3 every day, and cleaning, lots of cleaning

Christmas 2011

Well, how was it?

This week in fiction.

This week I chose Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare, the second book in the Infernal Devices and prequel to the Mortal Instruments series:

fans of steampunk and urban fantasy will love the newest tale by one of the best writers I've seen in a while.
