Practically summer here! Here's some monster love.

Shout!

Spring doesn't matter anyways
Sunday, May 15, 2011

Whoa, it's been a while. A whole season has passed and what's changed? Not much.

Big(gest) news: My grandma had open heart surgery a week ago and is recovering in a nursing home at the moment. She's doing well considering she's in her 80s and we're still hoping to see her this summer.

The PSN went down (online PS3 network) and 100 million customers worldwide possibly had their credit card info stolen. Guess who had just signed up for said network? Talk about bad timing.

I've been writing a book for a long time now, mostly sent home in emails from work. I've hit the 100 page mark (117 actually) but it's so hard to motivate myself. The Hinz laziness curses us all!

Other than that, I'm an entertainment hound. Books, movies, games, music...I eat and shit this stuff. ;) I'm obsessed with finding new worlds; escapism is an art and I'm f-ing Leonardo da Vinci. The newest Morganville book just came out and my fave guy in any book ever, Myrnin, was a laughably-insane as ever and such a treat. Morganville is the only series I've ever followed that has kept my interest as long as it has. The next book will be #11 and I could read 11 more!

My mom and I also have a ridiculous addiction to How to Train Your Dragon. That movie is my ultimate fantasy. Yes, I have the heart of a 12-year-old boy. Fuck a soul mate, I wouldn't need anything else ever again if I only had Toothless. ❤

That's about it. Sounds depressing, but it really isn't. Such is life! The world seems to be crumbling around us though; crisis after crisis, breaking records for worst disasters/storms/etc. 2012 is the end, people!!! Now to make my tinfoil hat for when the alien overlords descend upon us and watch The Hunchback of Notre Dame because I really feel like Quasimodo right now.

Always had sense enough to lie
