Okay, it's been a busy few months, and I'm probably going to be equally as busy for a while (at least 3 more weeks) but I'll make an effort to post more often, because I feel the need to rant.
Anyways, I just read a really awesome story, (holy crap I cant believe I actually read books oh gad, what a nerd) it's called Usher II. This story is seriously cool, it mixes all of Poe's evil constructions with a lot of robots and martians (I mean humans living in mars... the martians have been dead for a while in the story). You can find it in Bradbury's Martian Chronicles (I know it's old and a classic sci fi book, but hey, gotta recommend it to the people who don't know it or at least I gotta give my opinion of the thing), go grab your copy, find it at the library, download a torrent, do whatever you have to do to read or re-read this story, it's a must but I would suggest reading some of Poe's stories before reading it (The Masque of the Red Death, The Cask of Amontillado, The Pit and the Pendulum, The Murders in the Rue Morgue, and The Tell-Tale Heart).
On other, but still related, news, I'm working on a website with a couple of girls from an online class, its a project for the class but it's going to be awesome, I may link it here later when it's done. The website will be about Bradbury (yay! I'm doing the work related to him), Connan Doyle (yay!), and Stephen King (yay!) and how Poe influenced them all.
That's all folks :)
