After I received two boxes from Amazon today, I started wishing that I ddn’t need sleep in order to function. My “To Read List” is starting to grow…. here is the list as of tonight.

1. The Art of Innovation (almost done)
2. Freakonomics
3. The Belgariad (recommended by Laurie)
4. The World is Flat
5. Collapse
6. Eragon (first book in a series written by this 15 year old)
7. 3-5 Economists (a small stack is piling up since these show up weekly)

Although I am an Amazon stockholder, if you are interested in borrowing books 1-4 in the future, feel free to let me know.

I learned something important last night: Halloween parties are so much more fun with costumes. You might be thinking “duh charles, you idiot” but in all of my 23 years of trick-or-treating I never really took costumes that seriously. Don’t get me wrong, sometimes good friends and a keg is all you need, but Halloween isn’t just a typical day for a typical party. It needs to be celebrated properly with costumes ranging from cat in the hat to french maids…. preferably more of the latter.

Here are my favorite pics from last night (more pics in the photo section).

Super Halloween Brothers.

Eiki has my vote for the best costume. Those shorts CRACK ME UP.

I know the picture above is somewhat lame, but I figure I can easily change it so I’ll do it when I get some more time. I have finished hooking up the links on the page as well as iintegrating the gallery (kinda.. the pictures don’t quite fit and the icons don’t match the site, but I am working on that). Enjoi.
