I finished Redwall tonight, it was pretty much what I had expected, and like always I wrote up a review:
Redwall, By Brian Jacques, 351 pages
This is the story of a battle between the peaceful creatures of Redwall Abbey and the feared hoard of Cluny The Scourge. Mice, moles and badgers make up the cast of heros introduced in this story to battle the fiece rats and weasles attacking their home. Basically a simple take of good prevailing over evil, and a likely hero bringing all sorts of former rivals together to fight for the good. I think I would have liked this book much more back when I was younger and less cynical. The ending was fairly predictable, and the climax disappointing, don’t get me wrong, it was a nice, fast paced read, and fun… but again I think my tastes for literature have matured beyond this point. I have read Martin the Warrior (another book in the series), and at the time, when I was a sophmore in high school, I thought it was quite good, so I’d recommend this to younger readers I guess %)
Yep.
So today instead of making my Star Wars section pretty I ended up chatting all afternoon. A friend of mine needed some cheering up ’cause he’s feeling the “i am 20, I am lost, i make no progress, i suck, oh and i’m unemployed!” depression thing. And an old friend of mine stopped into #13thHour, and so I decided to talk to him as well, that left about 5 minutes sporatically (ooh spelling!) each hour to work on the page, what does this mean? It means I hardly got anything done, and my starwars pages are terribly unbalanced now with their appearances, yay! Heh.
In other news a comment in my friend Leslie’s weblog about the acronym “lol” started me thinking about this one friend I have who is pretty smart, but insists on saying “lolirl” when he is actually laughing out loud so people can hear him… I approached him about it telling him that it seemed redundant to say that, but I am not sure he “got” what I was saying, maybe he isn’t as smart as I thought %) In any event I think I simply chuckle when I say “lol” … the “LOL” and “lmao” are saved for actual prolonged laughs “in real life” … as well as the “rotflmao”, where I am not actually rolling on the floor, most likely I am just laughing so hard I can’t breathe. I know I know I should stop… waaay to much enlightenment from this blog today %P
I think I might actually go do some work on that starwars site now.

Hm, 20, lost, not making any progress, unemployed…sounds kinda familiar…
Dude, you’ve got a pretty sophisticated lol system going on there. I usually just say “heehee.” Which is obnoxious, but it works. For some reason, even if I find something funny, I don’t usually actually laugh at things people say online or whatever. But for some reason, the word, “fute”…
