Well, I've been home from college for almost a month now. It's been a good month, although the time has flown by. I've been working 30-40 hours a week and spending most of my spare time reading, doing miscellaneous computer stuff, and hanging out with friends .

I saw the Chronicles of Narnia movie this past week and was very impressed. The story was pretty close to the book. And the special effects totally rocked. The last battle scene, when Aslan appeared on the hill in the background, was my favorite part of the whole movie (definitely dramatic irony: the witch thought he was dead, and he appears to defeat her).

A couple good books I've gotten from the local library:

• Three by Ted Dekker--the master of suspense in Christian fiction. I really can't say much about the book because it would spoil the experience of reading it if I gave away too much of the plot. Definitely recommended
• My Year in Iraq by Ambassador Paul Bremer--Bremer was in charge of the total rebuilding of the nation of Iraq right after the US took over Baghdad. He tells of how they had to build from the ground up and how they trained the Iraqis to be competent to rule. I didn't read the whole thing and kinda scanned over parts but it definitely shows the good job Americans did considering the many problems they faced in the nation.
