if you could understand

Only a couple hundred pages to go! yes. I'm nearing completion of the 8th book of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time. It's good stuff. The tenth book came out just this past week,... or was it the eleventh that came out? Well, in any case, the latest came out recently, and if I'm not mistaken (or my resource isn't mistaken) there's going to be 13th books. You guys should read 'em sometime. Hard reading in its own way being as there's no fewer than 5 stories going on @ any given time by the book I'm reading; but it does have a way of capturing the reader's attention.
evrything hangs by a thread
I mention all that 'cause with the Senior High Retreat this past weekend there's been less than a handful of people to talk to on IM, so I've been on a reading frenzy. I also got a cool new chair (that was a slightly delayed if more than welcome b-day gift from my parent's). I would say it's like KP's only a slightly smaller version, except that more than likely only one or two, if none, have seen it. The best way to describe it is thus: a leather bowl supported my canvas on a folding frame. You'd have to see it I guess. Either way, it's really comfortable; except when evry possible sitting postion has been exhausted w/ hours of use. But then, very few chairs, if any, are comfortable after being sat in for hours.
that's choking on the splinters
Well, that's all for now, chaps.
More later or something of the general sort.
