It’s unbelievable the craziness that has been happening since the hurricane, that never seems to end. I’m at Starbucks, using my father-in-law’s internet account (Starbucks seriously needs to get on board with the free wi-fi) to do my school work. Luckily I was able to get pretty much everything done that needed getting done until about Tuesday. I have a quiz that rolls out tomorrow so I need to come back sometimes before Tuesday regardless. You may be wondering, why not just use the internet at home? Because we don’t currently have internet, and it may be awhile coming. I guess the “fence guys” that put up our new fence (yay for a fence!) cut our cable so that means no TV, no internet, and, since we have Vonage, no phone. I’m suffering.

In less crappy news, I got a job! You’re looking at the blog of the newest bookseller for a national chain bookstore. I’m not specifying just in case I have bad things to say later on. I’m actually a little conflicted about the whole deal anyways. I just finished reading “Buy, Buy Baby” by Susan Gregory Thomas and I’m thinking that the world is out to turn little kids into materialistic consumers, with the whole “cradle to grave” marketing. It’s definitely changed how I feel about cartoon characters and kids’ programming. I recommend anyone with small children or planning to have children to read it. Anyways, the section on reading and children’s books was shocking. I can’t believe how many kids’ books are pretty much 10 page commercials.

There’s a possibility that I may be in Michigan for a few days next week. It all depends on things here, and how Grandma is. She’s not doing so well, and it seems like it will be just a matter of time. Anyways, my battery life is getting low and my computer is being a pain in the butt anyways, so I’m going to sign off and head home.
