An Unhealthy Habit.

So, for this week we are supposed to compare our reading habits to another habit that consumes a lot of our time. For instance, over spring break I read about 2 hours. I didn't really keep track of how much TV i watched, but i think it was somwhere in the ballpark of 13-16 hours. This exceeds the total amount I have spent reading for this project. Yikes. Some may think i could've used my time more wisely. This is true. Although I did watch a lot of PBS and learned a lot. I watched a documentary on how the wolf population is escalading in Wisconsin and also my fair share of Antiques Roadshow. That is time well spent.


Since I blogged last i finished the 'Then' section i was reading. Blackout, Jet's father has been beating his wife Angelica. Eventually the shadow power and voices in his head have taken so much control of him he ends up killing Angelica. Luckily Luster and Night come and save Jet before her father killed her too. Night has decided that he will become a professor at the Academy in time so he will be able to train Jet, the only shadow power left besdies him since the hauled Blackout off to Blackbird Prison.

Next is the 'Now' section. If you can recall Jet got pretty beat up in a fight with Doctor Hypnotic-a rabid who escaped from Blackbird Prison. Up until this point Jet had voices in her head, since she is a shadow power. It is said that most shadow powers end up going crazy just as Jet's father did. She had presently been using white noise from her comlink to cope with this. Well, during her fight with Doctor Hypnotic he must have gotten into her head and turned off the voices, it was a pleasant change for Jet. Meanwhile, Taser had rounded up a runner network making it much easier for the extrahumans to help capture rapids. So, Iridium had gone into the warehouse that was Dr. Hypnotics temporary lair with her father and the goons that broke out of Blackbird with him. Jet and the other good guys back at HQ come to save Iridium who is already under a zombie-like trance. Jet is the only one who can takd down Hypnotic and right as she is about to finish him, he makes the voices come back to her head.

Total time read: 9hours and 30minutes
