The dawn of a new day brings with it the birth of a new chatty, a shining bastion of hope and opportunity. Oh, and since it's Tuesday, we also get some Fallout 3 DLC. Yay.

I had considered staying up late to play through that new Fallout 3 quest, but my plans were dashed as I (accidentally) fell asleep on the couch around 10:30 PM. I feel old :(

I haven't sat down and read a book in about six months, but i'm looking for something to keep me occupied while I duck out of the social life for awhile. I'm picking up World War Z and Starship Troopers tomorrow, while i'm out there, I might as well pick up some others. What are the other books the shack keeps saying, but that my memory fails to pull up?

Video games, booze, music and driving aimlessly are all nice, but i've kinda been itching to find myself back in the paper, since I used to read every night for at least an hour, and books are the one area the woman in my life hasn't touched so I can actually escape for awhile. I'm gonna be plowing through a lot of pages, anything is welcome.
