Content-less update, or, "I'm not dead yet!"

Greetings all. Spent a good portion of this morning fiddling with the template and layout of the blog, and I think I'm fairly satisfied with the result, although comments are always welcome. As the title indicates, I don't have anything content worthy for you today, just wanted to check in and confirm that I'm still around. Hopefully in the next few days I'll have some new content up. Anywho, hope you all had a happy Halloween.

Reader Poll: Endings

Hey all. It's been awhile since my last post and I've had several things that I've felt that I should write about, but somehow none of them got further than that. So instead of a review of some sort, I thought I'd solicit the opinions of all 5 people who read this blog. Or that at least I'd try to.

So I wanted to ask you about story endings. In a general sense, which kind of endings do you like best: happy endings, bad endings, or the bittersweet/tragic endings? For the sake of this discussion, I'm going to set the following definitions. Happy endings involve the hero or protagonist successfully overcoming his trial/conflict/obstacle and living happily ever after. Bad endings are the opposite, the hero tries and fails. The bittersweet endings involve the hero succeeding, but losing his life in the process or losing something dear to him.

Please leave your answers and thoughts in the comments.
