Because of my love of comic books I’m a sucker for novels based on comic books. The The Last Days of Krypton is the story of what happens on Krypton before it is destroyed and baby Superman escapes to Earth and is written by Kevin J. Anderson. Kevin J. Anderson has written many books and a good amount of these books take existing franchises and expand them. He’s done this with Star Wars, Dune, and now Superman. Unfortunately The The Last Days of Krypton was not as good as the they books Anderson has written. The book follows the rise of General Zod as he rises to power from a series of catastrophic events and the life of Jor-El.  These catastrophic events happen so frequently that it becomes ridiculous and Jor-El becomes the boy who cried wolf by the end of the book. If you are comic fan and feel you must read this book do yourself a favor and get it from the library.

Day 11: Downtown

Day 10: Drywall Repairs

When our house was built there was no flashing installed on this window so we noticed it leaking during heavy rain storms after about 10 years of being in the house.  The flashing is now installed and the leak has been stopped.  We finally got someone in to do rip the drywall out, check for damages and repair the drywall.  Good news is no mold and only minor damage to the window sill.

A few months back Valve introduced a store into the Team Fortress 2 game that allows players to make, buy, and sell character items such as hats and weapon upgrades.  This store has turned out to be rather successful and now Valve has made Team Fortress free to play. If you don’t already have Team Fortress 2 be sure to grab it now that it is free and join the fun.
