A Group of college kids have a party one night and the next morning wake up with superpowers. The story follows this kids as they learn to control their powers and start use them in their local town. They get police and media attention and it starts to fall apart soon. Power failings and innocent people getting hurt are just the start. The power set are: super strength, super speed, telepathy, invisibility and flight. The story is told in the backdrop of the summer of 2001/

The book is written as a non-ficitional account, the author (a minor charactor) tells the story in the third person, but will shift into first person for a short chapter to explain more or to give his opinion. The story reads well and the charactors feel real and flawed.

Recommened? Yes, quick to read and easy to follow.

April? Already?!?

It's April.

Where did time fly? I haven't been updating this blog at all and am wondering if I should just close it up altogether. When I started, I had planned to update once a week at least, but that didn't happen at all.
I spend more time browsing the web than hobbying at the minute which isn't helping.

But anyway, what have I done during my down-time?

I bought a car in November and am learning to drive.Hopefully by the summer at the latest, I will have a full drivers license! The car, insurance and tax were a major drain on my cash resources and I still haven't caught back up yet, so my gundam purchases have slowed right down. I do hope to get the new RG gundam mark 2 models and the skygrapser. I may start to collect the RG line only this year and then restart the HG next year if I have more disposable income.

I also moved from one lab at work to another. Bit stressful as the two are ran and operate differently. I'm more or less settled now but my overtime pay has been reduced as I'm not required to do as much. However as the day to day tasks are different from my old lab, I'm coming home wreaked and crashing on my bed.

Christmas came and went. You all know how that time of year is like. Also my birthday was in Jan and I passed the 27th age mark.

We also booked our holiday round this time to go to Africa again. We were there two years ago and decided to go back, we have friends who live there so had to just pay for the flights. This added additional strain to my finances, so gundam purchases were more or less stopped for Feb and March.

In April, we went on your holiday! We visited East London on the Eastern Cape of South Africa, a place by te beach for a week. We then drove for 15hours up through South Africa to get to Botswana. We stayed in the capital Gaberone for a week. Lovely places to visit, Africa is such an amazing place to go and see if you can.

So, what will I have on this website? I'm thinking I will expand the blog to include everything in my life, not just modeling. It may get more posts that way, but I'm not overly sure if it will. I'm going to try keep it going until the end of the year and depending on what I get done will depend on whether I continue to keep it open.

Thanks for reading!
