Books for the Red Cross

Most of you have probably seen the devastation from the tornado in Oklahoma. The footage of the tornado, and the total destruction left behind it is so completely mind boggling, I can't begin to fathom how the people affected by the disaster are coping.

To help out, I am auctioning off books on eBay with 100% of the proceeds going to the Red Cross to help the disaster relief.

I have three different sets of books available at eBay:

Autographed Paperbacks of the entire Trylle series - Switched, Torn, and Ascend

Autographed Paperbacks of Wake and Lullaby

Autographed Hardcovers of Wake, Lullaby, and Tidal

If you're not interested in the books, I would still encourage to donate or help in any way you can. Here are few places that you can help:

Regional Food Bank
American Red Cross
Salvation Army 
Shelter Box

You can also text STORM to 80888 to donate $10 to the Salvation Army, REDCROSS to 90999 to donate $10 to the Red Cross,  and FOOD to 32333 to donate $10 to the Regional Food Bank.

Jim Henson predicted the end of the world

Or more accurately, Brian Henson did. But more on that in a second... I read an article today about the BP oil spill, and some analysts think the oil spill won't end until Christmas. Meaning 4 million barrels oil would be dumped in the Gulf. And (I'm quoting) "That much oil would wipe out all life in the Gulf and completely change the ecosystem." (read the full story here ) Let me repeat that:  That much oil would wipe out all life in the Gulf. In less than a year, those greedy bastards and their lack of foresight will probably lead to the destruction of an entire ecosystem.  Fish, crabs, eels, dolphins, sea turtles, and all the plant life. Here's a list of how and what animals are effected by this: here . This doesn't even mention the economic damage it will do to tourism and the jobs of people who thrived on fishing and dependency on the Gulf life. One more time: That much oil would wipe out all life in the Gulf. Let's put aside how devastating it is to ...

Meet Jasper!

Today, I went to our county fair. They had a game where you could win live turtles, live iguanas, and live hermit crabs. I still find this concept weird that you can win animals that require specialized cages and lighting. It would make more sense to win a puppy or kitten, since most homes are already equipped for them. In reality, I don't agree with the practice of the animals as prizes. But that's another story for another day. The long and the short of it is - I'm a sucker for animals of any kind, and I always think I should adopt everything so I can be certain it's taken care of. The fact that I walked away with only one turtle and not a whole slew of reptiles shows an extreme level of self restraint on my part. Anyway - I digress. Meet Jasper - the newest edition to my family: The picture's a bit blurry, but rest assured, Jasper's face is perfectly clear in real life. That's Jasper running away from a Dixie cup. He's insanely fast. I'm star...
