This was my first foray (as far as I can recall) into H.P. Lovecraft and I’m pretty sure it will be my last. I read this on my Kindle (I downloaded the story for free). Amazon.com tells me that the story was only 84 pages, yet it took me about two weeks to read it–how’s that for crappy?
the heat
Brian and I watched this movie last night. I found it to be humorous, but it seemed like they were trying too hard or something. I mean, with as much swearing as there was, it should have been hilarious. That said, there were a couple of funny bits, but it was a little too formulaic for my taste.
My rating: 3/5

I’ve been taking Zyrtec for allergies pretty much continuously for a year or so. I haven’t been sneezing as much lately, so I thought I’d take a break from it until spring. I stopped taking it for a couple of days the other week and got all itchy. I didn’t think much of it at the time, but I started taking it again due to the itchiness. I stopped taking it again the other day. Yesterday, I got all itchy. Noticing a trend, I did a Google search and, much to my surprise, this is a withdrawal symptom from going off the medication. Terrific.

I finally finished watching the Dexter series last night. Because it was unavoidable, I heard how the series ended before watching it (and frankly, I was disappointed). However, in watching it, I think they pulled it off pretty well. I would have liked a better explanation of the last few minutes of the show, though.

This book, by Stephen King, was sort of a continuation of The Shining. It revolved around Danny Torrance as an adult. The antagonist in this book was a group of otherworldly type humans. Good vs. evil. Yada, yada, yada. This book was sort of in the same vein as Hearts in Atlantis, which is not one of my favorites. That said…
My rating: 3/5
