The Fortune Cookie Stories

Have you ever noticed how fortune cookies nearly never tell an actual fortune? They prefer to state facts, like "your eyes are green" or "you talk too much". These aren't fortunes. They're not pred...

The Story of My Silver Ring

Why this needs to be posted, I have no idea. But I seem to be turning into a myspace/facebook junkie. Originally, I thought I'd do this to keep my friends posted, while I'm so far away in Mexico. B...

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Mario and I finally finished reading Harry Potter 7 on Tuesday, and it was every bit as excellent as everyone said it was (and then some). I'm still reeling in the wonderfulness of it all. It remind...
