We had to write a book report for school, so I did mine on issue 9 of Weird Guy Black. It's my favorite one coz it's the first appearance of The Indefatigable Goldthwait. Mrs. Carpenter said that wasn't appropriate material for a book report and gave me a D. She's just jealous coz all the books she has to read are really boring! I bet she's never even heard of The Ineffable Squadron!

I just started this cool new hobby: arranging model trains. Do people do that over there? You should try it!

Today Hank O'Reilly invited me over to his house after school. He's kind of a strange kid and we've never really been friends, but we've been classmates for like forever, so I went. They had this weird blue carpet in every room, and the whole place smelled like boiled tomatoes. I looked at his collection of flowers and we played a little Mortal Zone 11, and then I went home. It was pretty awkward the whole time. I hope he doesn't ask me again.
