Hey Nate, I found ur blog because I tired of watching “Desperate Living” and eating Tostitos. So, now I’m reading it, and I wonder if u’ll actually see these comments I shall make. lemme know next time u catch me on AIM. Anyways, I’m not sure if u know about the movie version of Battle Royale which i liked a lot more before I could get it with subtitles. Now i’m curious about the book.

Anyway, maybe I will just read a few words of the book, since it’s still tempting me (lying all by its lonesome on the coffee table… ah, the life of a book!)
