Was the Night before Christmas – 40 below when Snoopy went up in search of his foe

Posted on by Shawshank

Good morning everyone. It’s Monday, need I say anything more? I had a pretty sucktastic sleep last night. The Melatonin, it did nothing. Nothing at all.

But it’s ok. Least I don’t have to be at work today. Today, I’m going to SlightlyBiggerTown to buy more sleep aids. By sleep aids, I mean legal weed.

Coffees ready. Be right back.

We got an offer on the house. My first thought it we should take it, because I don’t know if we’d get another offer. I’m trying to stay positive. I just want the house sold so it’s gone.

It’s going to be a long day here. It’s hard when you wake up exhausted.

Happy Monday my friends. Let’s make it the best Monday that it can be. I love you.

Mondrei (drei is German for 3)

Who’s your favourite fictional couple?

Wow, that’s either an easy answer, or a very difficult one. Depending on what you expect me to say. Heh. The easy one would be to say Bella and Edward. Or even Hermione and Ron. But that might be really too easy, amirite? So I’ll have to say Eric and Clio from The Raw Shark Texts. They have a great banter back and forth. You can almost feel the love come off the page.

What’s a book you’d give as a present?

Hmm. This is a hard one. There’s been so many great books that I’ve read this year. I’d have to say that I’d have no problem giving House of Leaves as a gift. Or even Ship of Theseus. My number one would definitely be House of Leaves.

What was your least favourite book you’ve read this year?

Simple! I really really did not like The Goldfinch. Totally unliveable characters, I won’t even mention the mess that the author called “the middle of the book”. I’m pretty sure I didn’t finish it because everyone in the book is a terrible person, and life is too short to waste time on a shitty book.

Until next time, book nerds!

Book haul

Posted on by Shawshank

Hey there book nerds! I have another book haul! I know, I know, I can’t read what I have, why am I buying more books? Because it was full a bag for a buck, and there was one that’s been on my list for a while. Is that enough? Ok then, how ‘bout this:

One book = .50c, or a bag of books for $1. So logically, it’s better to buy a bag of books rather than just one.

Right?

I think I’m most excited about The Haunting of Hill House. But they all look good, don’t they?

On another note. All the Christmas shopping is done. But this year, it’s just going to be another day. There’s no tree, and we’re the only house on the block with no lights. This is the first year that I’m really getting sick of Christmas music.

304 days.
