We’re a bit beyond Valentine’s Day which I hope you all, yes you, all 4 and haife of you who read this enjoyed. But whether it’s Valentine’s Day, Mom or Grandma’s birthday, a special day for the wife or girlfriend, you think about getting flowers delivered, right? RIGHT?! Good. Well, there’s only a few things to consider when buying flowers. 1.) Will it be delivered the day I request? 2.) Will it look pretty? 3.) Will it not break my wallet? Seems pretty damn simple, well, you’d think so anyway. Previous to this last year I had always used 1800flowers.com, who I’m pretty sure uses local florists for delivery. This is pretty common and a well accepted method of flower delivery. That is until they delivered flowers on the wrong day (way to blow that). I began to shop elsewhere. In December I decided to try out ProFlowers.com due to the overwhelming marketing they’d been doing. How bad can they be? 1800flowers.com failed on the first check but the second and third conditions were always met, so it’s not too much to expect ProFlowers to get them right. They had the calendar to select the day I needed, the pictures looked great (durr I guess), and the price was nice. Mom got her flowers, thanked me, thought they were pretty though she told me some weren’t open. Okay, I guess that’s not too bad, right?

Hi. I’m back. Well, still here, rather.
Okay. Wow. Where do I start? I guess about a year ago, when I first told myself it’s time to start reading, I was scouring my favorite forums for off-topic ‘favorite book’ threads. Granted, I stick to tech/geek related forums, however, each forum’s book threads had the same thing in common, a single series: A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin. I really had no clue what it was about, and had only a few books in my arsenal that I’d read—Ender’s Game, The Ruins, Jurassic Park, and Foundation—a little bit of everything. I was ready for anything. When I first opened A Game of Thrones
