It's Ender Again!

I've been horrible lately, allowing myself to become so busy that I neglected to check Hatrack River daily for updates. I just don't know what came over me. Had I not been so neglectful, I would have realized a lot sooner that I have not one but TWO new Ender's Game related works to look forward to.

Marvel will be putting out a comic adaptation of Ender's Game/Ender's Shadow at a yet to be determined date, and a new Ender's Game novel (!!!!!) will be available in November. I know exactly where I'll be when Ender's Exile comes out on November 1st, and it doesn't involve leaving home for any longer than it takes to purchase the book and return to curl up and read.

On Proving Your Point With The Bible....

I just had someone say to me something along the lines of "every person you love is going to leave you, it says so on page 4 in the Bible." It was a complete joke, but I had to be smart and prove this wrong by pulling out my Bible to look. I figured I'd end up with some random story about creation that would never apply.

So guess what I opened to?

The fall of man.

Perhaps one of these days, I'll learn....

A Narcissistic Post....

....of my "modeling" way back over spring break.

In Holland, Michigan.....

No, the dress didn't fit. I think it was meant for a child. The back wouldn't zip, and though it's hard to tell, I'm holding the apron on with my hands. It ends where my hands are. And those wooden shoes? Not half comfortable.


The Dutch Village had all sorts of fun statues and... statue-like things. We took a million silly pictures. I could have easily spent a whole day there.



The rest of Holland had some pretty interesting statues too.



In Marquette, Michigan.....


The most freezing water I've ever stepped into in my life. There was snow on the banks. Real, white snow. Way up in northern Michigan near Canada. Did I mention it was cold?





In and around Austin, Texas.....




Because everyone should ride a frog at some point in their life.
