To DC or Not to DC...

...That is the question.

Sorry, Billy Shakespeare. I know I killed your famous quote there, but it has been on my mind a bit. Whether or not we should go back there, I mean.

Right now, however, I'm in the farthest place from there.

I really wish I could take a picture of what I'm seeing right now, but Total has the camera's memory card. He's not allowed in here, as you can see:

I can hear him coughing like an old man outside. I can't tell if he's being his overly dramatic self, if he's really an old dude, or if he's sick. Better stay away from me, is all I can say.

Anyway, I'm looking at a vending machine with books in it. Like, where I would usually get a bag of greasy potato chips and a gooey chocolate bar...filled with books. Including one of ours.

Does that mean I'm cooler or disposable now?

Good thing all these Christmas cookies and leftovers are half-off today. Means we can save whatever we have left of our money and still afford to, I dunno...EAT.

...Now I sound like an old dude.

-Fang.

Super Sleuthing.

Don't worry, we can "agree to disagree." Adults do it all the time.

Seems like a lot of you out there in the World Wide Web didn't quite like that cover we found. Total didn't like it either, but that's because he, well, wasn't on it. Perhaps when we buy a copy at the bookstore I can glue a mirror to the front of his. That way, he'll always be on the cover.

Oh, by the way, Googling is awesome:

Why they have to start with Chapter 6, I dunno, but if one more person wants to make me a guinea pig or lab rat, I will simply tell them I am (duh) AVIAN. Thank you very much!

-Max

Say What?!

Is that...alien being with wings thing flying over the Pacific Ocean to Nowhereville? And where is everyone else?!

As Nudge would say, "CREEPTACULAR."

Yaaaaaaaay!

Is it weird that we're part avian, yet I'm really excited to eat TURKEY? Isn't that what old people call "A conflict of interest?"

And, for all you non-Avian Americans out there, do you guys celebrate Thanksgiving or what? Turkey is just too good to pass up...it should be celebrated world-over!!

~NuDgE!

P.S. Memories of Thankgiving last year is making me sad. ;(

P.P.S. But thinking of mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce and rolls and green beans and pumpkin pie makes me un-sad. :)

Maximum Fang?

Is the book not called MAXIMUM RIDE?

Fang wins?!

What is this conspiracy? I demand a recount!

...And you don't even want to hear what Total thinks, people.

-Max

P.S. Hypothetically, would developing new powers be a sign of weird things to come? Or is this just par for the course? Hypothetically. Like, what if I suddenly had the ability to grow ice cream cones out of my shoes? Hypothetically.

Iggy vs. Iggy

Ig here.

I've been hearing my name thrown around a lot in the news lately, except it's not about THIS Iggy. It's about a famous person's dog.

That made Total jealous (are you even surprised??), and me curious enough to see how popular I really am.

So, I did a search.

...I am not even on the list! How is that possible?!

Hmm. I need to do something to stand out now. Climb (or fly) back to the top of the Iggy ladder.

Maybe dye my hair or something. Black with blue tips. Or, learn how to do something really neat like...juggle pizzas.

Mmm. Pizza. Now I'm hungry.

If you have any ideas, lemme know. (Like the answer for why it's so darn warm outisde and it's almost HALLOWEEN!)

Too Cold to Think of a Title!

Wouldn't YOU like to know where we are?

Actually, I would too. It's hard to see where you're going when you're wearing this much outerwear. I have a newfound respect for hat makers now.

I'm sorry, Nudge has informed me that the "S.A.T. word version" of hat maker is haberdasher.

[rolls eyes]

Anyway, we're excited to come back home. ...Even though we don't officially have one yet. It must be nice to have that constant normalcy.

Speaking of normalcy, even our differences can't stay consistent. We think we're developing some new...

Well, I don't want to give it away just yet. Soon, though. Definitely soon.
