Orson Scott Card's 'Ender's Game' Review Chapters 1-5

So, I picked up Ender's Game at Barnes and Noble yesterday for a reasonable $6.99. I had heard good things and figured that I would enjoy it and boy was I right. I spent this morning before work reading the first five chapters. I have to say I really like this book. It's a definite page turner, always moving, but still deep into character development. I am looking forward to seeing what happens next, although I won't be reading more until the morning.

Additionally, in searching for a link to place in the title, I came across http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0400403/ which happens to be a movie based on the title, apparently written by Card. Although it says pre-production, I for one would seriously look forward to seeing a movie based on this book that isn't Starship Troopers, which I understand was loosely based on this book.

Anyway, all for now, more later. Also I will give a full in depth review of the whole book when I am completely done, maybe.

# Indicates Monday Night Football
All Times are PST

*Please be aware that as part of the National Football League’s agreement with NBC to televise Sunday Night Football, the NFL has implemented a flexible schedule for Sunday start times for the final seven weeks of the season.

This will allow the NFL to bring more attractive match-ups to a national audience late in the season. If any of the 49ers games are moved from the original start time, fans will be notified 12 days prior to the date of the game with the exception of a Week 17 game, where the notification will be six days to ensure a Sunday Night game with playoff implications. Starting time changes will be publicized on 49ers.com and through the local print, electronic and internet media.

The puppy played fetch. It was fun.

4th of July

We had fun. Also, these pictures weren't blurry when I took them, I think.





The puppy had a little too much excitement and got all tuckered out.

Cleaning Up Research

So I spent all day today, (this morning) moving stuff around. Boy, not fun, but I do have some pictures. The results aren't pretty right now, but they will be in a week or two. Next week is a busy week for us, so I probably won't get to work on it until the week after next. Anyway, delightful pics of all my hard work. Note they are all after the fact, since I couldn't take pictures as I was working. I should have taken some before and after pictures, but I didn't, oh well.
