    this guy andy is on fire!

    the movie should be a kick-ass.

    what a wonderful backstory.

    there's hope for us all. (well, maybe not the movie deal and all : )

    Nearly finished part one Jimmer, it's getting exciting.
    I am enjoying the images that the story produces in my mind. I can see them.

    I don't believe it, I was saving video 6 to listen to it this evening, and it's been blocked due to copyright reasons.

    Still I have enjoyed the five videos that I have listened to, video 6 was the last one.
    I feel a bit deflated now, but the good thing is, the film is still to come.

    frances, you was robbed!

    originally, I was shocked to find those audio book segments.
    the book is one of the hottest around.

    lesson learned: good things don't last
