Lack of Communication, People

Perhaps I am not getting through to you, people.

Where have all my readers gone? When I was stuck without a computer, they used to come and read. Now that I put new posts up, they're all gone! What's with this?

Life is immensely boring in West Monroe. I have said it once and I shall say it again: I loathe this place. Fortunately, Christian is coming over next weekend. (Three day weekend!) And it shall be most fun-ness. We shall watch le Corpse Bride and le Breakfast Club, and I'll finally get to give him the thing I bought him that I cannot say on here because he might read it and then it will not be a surprise which I really want it to be and yeah...I swear I couldn't pass it up! *Big Grin*

I have to go to a family thingie tonight which I really don't want to go to because it shall be most boring. Everyone else there is going to be either under 10 or over 30. Uber fun.

Guess what? I am writing a very good The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn essay and the best part is that I never read the book! I mean, it's a really good essay, I think. Gotta type it later, but yeah...

It's brr brr brr freezing outside. This morning, my dad went to get in the car and the door was frozen shut. Ice ice baby. *Catchy music*

And just one more thing...the altoids....

From Cell

"They walked down to the schoolbus. Dan Hartwick offered Clay a tin of Altoids with a hand that was not quite steady. Like Jordan and Tom, he looked exhausted. Clay, feeling like a man in a dream, took on. End of the world or not, it was curiously strong."

If that's not funny, I don't know what it.

Cell by Stephen King

Upon reading the above-mentioned novel, I have decided to post a book review on my lovely blog.

Cell is very much similar to King's other novels (I.E., The Stand) in its major premise, but that still doesn't rob it of its snazzy jazzyness. The book is about a computer-like program that pulses through all cell phones on an October day without warning. Anyone on the cell phone or who can overhear someone's conversation were immediately converted into what are called "Phone Crazies", who have lost all sense of civilized manner and resort to killing people with their bare hands (or, in most cases, teeth). The sane survivors of what is called "The Pulse" now take different courses of action in dealing with the new way of living, including the ubiquitous changes in the "Phone Crazies".

It's one of those books that has phenomenal events from beginning to conclusion, instantaneously grasping the imagination of any reader. The plot takes twists and turns and also invites new and believable characters along the way. The ending is a bit incomplete in some opinions, but, in my own opinion, unless King wanted to make the book at least a thousand pages long, it was the only ending that could have been without being cliche or predictable on any account. This book is highly recommended by my person to anyone.
