I finally finished my first short cartoon. I made it with MS Paint, Paint Shop Pro, and Windows Movie Maker. It’s called The Cupcake Topper :)

I read the latest book based on the Monk TV series, Mr. Monk is Miserable. I love the Monk books almost more than the television show itself. The secondary characters seem to have more defined personalities in the books.
This book takes place right after the last book, and like the last one, has Monk visiting another country (this time he’s in France). These are my favorite Monk stories. Even the television episode where Mr. Monk goes to Mexico (which was written by the author of the Monk books) is among my favorites. It’s always great to see Monk cope with his phobias when he is in a foreign environment.
I haven’t ever been this excited for an election. No matter who wins the US presidential election this year, a huge step will be taken to further eliminate bigotry in this country.
It’s an exciting time. :)
