Yep, I finished this book already. I was only going to read a littler bit, but then couldn't stop. Until I had to when I suddenly realized someone had put anchors on my eyelids when I hadn't noticed. I only had two or three chapters left, so that was a total buzzkill. Even though the first chapter had me giggling like a loon (do loons giggle?), it's not all laughs in Hyperbole and a Half, but has some truths about depression and self. I never caught Allie Brosh's blog when she was updating it, but I'll definitely be checking it out now.

Great for all ages
Everyone in my house loves this game from my 3 yr old son to my 35 yr old husband. There was even a study on how it's good for someone with depression and anxiety because of the socializing you do with the characters and the pace of the game. Fishing, bugs, fossils, and artwork make it educational and add in the occasional character who needs help with his countries rounds out the learning. Also, you can help your neighbors, create your own landscaping, and even design your own shirts! Plenty to do and events to participate in.

Movie Rating
Under-rated Dreamworks animation, with Will Ferrell voicing the super villain Megamind, who spends his time fighting against the superhero MetroMan.

And then (he thinks) manages to defeat and kill the same, after he he sinks into a funk of depression.

Like Despicable Me, this also has a character called Minion (here, one character instead of a group of the same), with most of the banter coming from the interaction between Megamind and Minion in what is (essentially) a family friendly underdog story as Megamind discovers that being a villain is not everything there is to life.
