    hi Bryan,
    I was snooping in MCBA yesterday and I saw your a few pages of your book. They look good so far. I can't wait till it's finished.

    Hey Bryan,
    Just saying hi. You know that good thing (or a box) that's coming your way.... Well it hasn't come because... Well, it's Lynda's fault, she's ruins everything. But no worries, we will put it on its way in the next day. Sorry.

    Certainly, my days are filled with dedicated studying :) haha, though I know the significance of this practice could always be bumped up a notch. I'm not up to anything too particular besides school at the moment, but thanks for asking. I am tuning into the media as the election day comes nearer.

    Farce Unleashed? You mean they still make Star Wars stuff? I thought they only made cartoons... Okay, rampant cynicism aside, I have been playing Spore and loving it - hours of fun in the critter phase and space phase, long as you can get past the other ones you should be good to go. Read any good books lately? I heard you have a GF too, whats that all about Bryan!? 'Till next time...
