Sorry...

I know that the unforgivable sin of blogging is to not blog for long bouts of time. I have to confess that I'm guilty of that. This school year has been the most hectic and difficult of all school years before, and my lack of blogging can be attributed to that and to just plain laziness. Sorry..

But, now summer is here, and I have all the time in the world. In fact, summers are so boring for me that I practically do nothing. Blogging can be one of those activities to fill up some time.

I recently went on a trip to Kentucky Kingdom Six Flags. I rode all of the roller coasters there (save for one that was broken down), and they were really cool. There were a couple of first as well: I rode my first stand-up coaster and my first suspended coaster. These were very fun! I had a blast!

Of course, the whole roller coaster thing is new to me; when I was younger, I was terrified of roller coasters. My first coaster experience was at a fair where I rode the "Afterburner"-- a coaster with a huge loop in the middle and a change in direction (it went forwards and backwards). Next, I rode "The Raven" at Holiday World in southern Indiana. It scared me at the time, but I just rode it last year, and it didn't amuse me. My interest in coasters began last year when I rode a few small coasters at Indiana Beach.

Aside from apologizing and babbling about my vacations, I want to post a review that I wrote about on of the books I attempted to read. I say attempted because the book got so dry and pointless that I took it back to my local library 2/3 through. Please read the review below and please expect multiple posts each week for the next few months:

I have to admmit that I expected a lot out of this book. It starts out strong, but it falls apart towards the end when the ghost begins to appear in broad daylight! The book, from the beginning, had a low fright-rate anyway. Towards the end, it was just confusing and stupid.

I could see traces of his father, Stephen King's, style in the beginning, but then he half-assed it towards the end. Don't waste your time by reading this one.
