Spells of Fury

So I am going to tell you something that I did a while ago. Before I state what I did, I am going to preface by saying that the following statment is literally true:

I killed a spider by casting Spells of Fury at it. I’ll let that sink in for a sentence. If that is literally true, does that make me a real life wizard? If you are an acute reader, you may note that Spells of Fury is capitalized. The trick to my statement is that Spells of Fury is a proper noun. It is the title of a book that I threw at a spider to squash it. So I indeed killed a spider by casting Spells of Fury at it. I thought I would share that because it was funny (to me, at least; Wayne didn’t think it was funny) Another thing that is funny is the book ‘Spells of Fury’ itself. No, it’s not a D&D manual. The subtitle reads: "Building Windows 95 Games Using DirectX 2". It has chapters with such AWESOME titles as "Chapter 5: DirectSound: Enter the Realm of the Queen of the Night", and "Chapter 7: Recipes for Destruction". Needless to say, this is a pretty awesome book. Man, people that work on video games must be dorks! In other news, my older brother (who you may know as Wesley) Moved to Shanghai China and is now married. In other other news, Some guy on Hillsborough street is an idiot. In other other news part 2, I hope you don’t have to go to Crabree Mall anytime soon. Last week I broke out the ol’ tablet and made a new digital painting. I think it turned out pretty good. I’ll go ahead and apologize in advance for the background. I only spent a few minutes on it: Bix: Elven barbarian I think that about sums it up for now. I can’t say that I have a whole lot else to report. Catch y’all later!
