I am currently at work and have decided to revive this old blog.
Recent news goes as follows:
-I am finishing up two classes at Wayne State in its School of Library and Information Science (Administration and Management of Libraries and Children's Literature Grades 4-8) I am stoked to be done with these classes, not because I haven't learned anything but they have been quite tedious.
-Luke Donovan and I have been covering songs at his apartment/garage/house. We switch who plays drums or guitar and so far we got quite a song book which we hope to bring to local bars. Also our name is Sexy Weapons and Tactics.
- For the Children's Literature class we have to create an annotated bibliography in which we have to read 50 books and then write a little blurb about them. Throughout the semester I have felt guilty if I wasn't reading a children's chapter book. So far some of my favorites have been Bone, Mouse Guard, Frindle, Shredderman, and the Tale of Desperaux.
Recently I received excellent news about the project when my professor knocked the requirement down from 50 to 30 books (since I was around 30 books read it made my night).
-For Thanksgiving my parents and I drove down to Covington KY to see my sister on Tuesday of that week. We listened to Carl Hiaasen's Flush, which was a great book and makes me want to read more of his books, young adult and adult. We spent a lot of time with Abby and it made me realize how much fun the four of us have as a family. We ate at Steak and Shake, Waffle House and Skyline Chili which was not as great as Abby made it out to be. The four of us went to a liquor store which was HUGE and I proceeded to get some gifts as well as a Crown Royal gift set and a Leinenkugel's pint glass for myself.
Thanksgiving itself was fun, Abby and I woke up at 7 am to put the turkey in which turned out pretty good. The Osborns came over and we all had a good time. My parents and I hit the road and was back in Brighton at 8.
-I met up with Travis and Steve for Black Friday at Gamestop, where I bought a PlayStation 3 and a few games. I went over to Brianna's where later that day we went to Twelve Oaks and I got some nicer clothes for interviews, hopefully.
-Over the past few days nothing has been too exciting. The Tigers got Victor Martinez (hopefully he isn't a Juan Gonzalez), and I have been playing Uncharted and Black Ops a lot. And I applied to be a MC for the trivia company which I attend every week at TGI Fridays.
Thats all for now.
love, Nick
PS The Walking Dead is fantastic!
