The most rediculous thing just happened to me. So I went out to get the mail today...and I got an oddly wrapped package from my friend Andrew (@mcandre on Twitter). When I say oddly wrapped, I mean it was a media mailer very heavily bound in packing tape. I knew the package was coming because he asked my address last week, but he told me it wasn't a gift requiring reciprocation. That made me curious...Now if you have ever tried to pull packing tape off of shipping plastic, you know it's no picnic. I pulled out the kitchen scissors and after quite a bit of wrestling, I arrived at...more wrapping. This time it was festive wrapping paper. From the size and shape of the package, I could tell it was a CD case of some kind and I made quick work of the final layer.
Before I even got it totally out of the wrapping paper, I realized what it was. I could see this logo [see left] very clearly and I felt a feeling I had felt many times before while surfing the web. One of dread...I had just been Rickrolled.This was not just any Rickroll though, this was a Rickroll "IRL" or "in real life." I've heard of such things happening, but really, in my own mailbox! What is this world coming to?
I have enlisted the help of the bear on my desk to help me document this crime against the memedom.
Here you can clearly see that this is the album that included "Never Gonna Give You Up" as the top track.
If you have suggestions on how I can get Andrew back, leave a comment or message me on Twitter. I cannot allow this kind of behavior to abide!!!
and was BLOWN AWAY by the story. From there I read all of the other "Ender's Saga" books as well, starting with 
. 
is a direct sequal to Ender's Game. That being said, you pretty much HAVE to read all the other books that have come out already because there is a great deal of assumed knowledge. The story happens primarily as Ender is leaving Earth and going to out the new colony he's to govern. Essentially Card felt that there was a missing story between the end of the war and the beginning of Peter's time as leader of the united world. Plus, we get to find out what happens to Bean's last missing son.
Speaking of the book...I didn't actually read it. In fact, I haven't ever read one of Card's books. I listen to audiobooks :) Here's a link to the 
if you're like-minded. It has the same cast of voice actors as in the previous books so you will feel right at home. I wish it wasn't so expensive, but until audiobooks get cheaper, there's not a lot you can do.
