My Dæmon Achaean

So, from Philucifer, through Cat I went to the Golden Compass website and took the test. I know, there are probably 100 more things I could blog about, but this is pretty darn cool.

And, the most interesting thing - when seeing or choosing a power animal - it has almost always been the wolf.

Although, since I am letting you guys do some choosing here - it just may change.

Enjoy!

Kurt Vonnegut dies

After sustaining a head injury from a fall, Kurt Vonnegut dies at 84.

When I was in 8th grade, I had a choice of books to read for a book report. I remember seeing the name, Slaughterhouse Five and pushing past people to sign up for it. I was a horror buff even back then and it sounded like a fun book to read. Well, wasn't the type of horror I was thinking, but introduced me to a new type of horror. And, to an incredible author, who a few years ago, I was blessed to meet.

We are losing some great and influential writers this year. I look forward to who will be there to take the torch.

"Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt." "So it goes." - Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse Five
