Home away from Home

I spent my first night in Ashland last night and it went well.

XIVth

I have been "busy" getting ready to live down in Ashland. Packing up things, buying things, moving things, unloading things. etc. I got to see my aparmetn for the first time on Wednesday and it looks pretty good. A nice fit for us three.

Wednesday was my sister's birthday. she turned 17! So this a belated happy Birthday Molly! I said it in person already. It was fun! We watched The Ulimate Gift which was good/pretty good. Played a game, ate some cake and ice cream. Saturday is my mom's birthday. Yipee! More food and ice cream.

I am right listening to music by this composer, Justin Durban. He writes his own music and divides into different styles, like epic, drama, action, etc. He is pretty good and he lets you download it. Very neat!

I am right now reading a book by Tim Downs called Head Game about how one of this guy's friends commits suicide and he doesn't know why? I just started it and it is pretty cool.

Tommorrow is Wash for life that i am going to go to and express my skills as an automoble cleaner. Hopefully someone can wash my car too.

And now a random picture to send you on your way this Friday, a day of Serenity!

See the six rainbows! :)

I'm LaZee :)

Have a good Labor Day!

Great Book!

Title: Hood

Author: Stephen R. Lawhead

I first saw this book in stores about a year ago and I was crazy about it. I had just finished reading his Song of Albion trilogy, so I was ready for more, but it has taken over a year before I was able to read it and I wish I had started it sooner because it is awesome!

The story is Lawhead's take on the Robin Hood legend which made me even more excited to read this. The story takes place in Wales and our folk hero is Bran the son of King of the land of Elfael. When Bran's father, the king, is killed in an ambush along with nearly all his warriors, the land of Elfael is overtaken and its citizens subjected to great oppression. Though Bran should be king, he has lost faith in what he believed and decides to flee instead. Through agony and adventure, aided by a ragtag group of colorful characters, his sense of justice grows, along with his commitment to leading the people of Elfael and his creative strategies for dealing with the enemy. Lawhead examines questions of faith from both sides of the conflict, so you see Welsh monks praying for deliverance and Norman rulers asserting their divine right to the land. The story's tone is uneven—by turns sweet, violent, and funny that will leave you anxious for the next installment.

The next book Scarlet is slated to hit shelves sometime at the beginning of September and I am ready for it. Are U?

My Rating: *****(5 stars)!
