I started reading Hocus Pocus yesterday. I like it so far. I know I'm supposed to be reading Asher Lev, but I'll get around to it. Kate's going to be mad at me.

So I found out earlier today that Nader is going to run again. Why? What good will it do, Ralph? I like your name, by the way. I've always liked Ralph. It also makes me think of Lord of the Flies. I should read that again. The movie wasn't that great. I remember it having adults on the island.

Remember several months ago when I said I wouldn't be looking for a female companion/girlfriend/significant other/whatever? That it would just have to happen? Well, I think it's happened.

I need a new hat.

When I started college I bought some school supplies. These supplies consisted of a pencil. As the last three and half years have trudged by, the paper, the staples, the highlighters, the paper clips, the floppy disks, the pens, and even the lead have come and gone. But, this pencil has stayed with me. He endured thousands of clicks, box after box of lead refills, and never once complained about sweaty hands. He doodled, he wrote, he scratched, he twirled. He has been put to rest now. He earned his wings.
