A mixed bag...

Books from Borders:
  • Let Dai #2 & Let Dai #3 by Sooyeon Won

And I want to rant about how irritated I am with Borders at the moment, but I won't b/c I'm too tired... *sighs*

AADL Summer Reading Game book list:

  1. Undead and Uneasy by MaryJanice Davidson
  2. (...)
  3. (...)
  4. (???)
  5. (???)

I was a bizarre reading fiend today. I sat at my friend's house after I checked in on her cat and read for a bit, then I went and got my oil changed and read while they did that, then I read in the car during rush hour traffic. I was utilizing my time wisely, I guess. :)

I read Mountain Man Dance Moves: The McSweeney's Book of Lists last night. When I checked it out, I was browsing through and laughing hysterically and sharing some of the lists with co-workers. I couldn't wait to read it. It proved just as hilarious as I thought. I have a ton of the lists marked to copy down and share with others (especially the unicorn ones with Caroline). I wish I could share them all here, but that'd get tedious. So, I'll just share one for now and maybe another couple later.

EIGHT REASONS WHY A TYRANNOSAUR CAUGHT IN A TORNADO IS A FUNNY THING TO THINK ABOUT

by Austin Allen

1. The tiny, flailing arms

2. The helpless "RARRRRRR!"

3. The angry, wild-eyed expression

4. That dinosaur with the sail on his back floats by and he's just cruisin'

5. The landing

6. The Wizard of Oz music playing in the background. What an anachronism!

7. Tyrannosaurs inhabited the western United States, an area of the country known for its heavy tornado activity. Statistically speaking, it is probable that the scenario in question actually happened at least once. In this, as in all enduring comedy, there is a grain of indubitable truth inside the humor.

8. "RARRRRRR!" Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! "RAAAARRRRRRRRRR!"

--from Mountain Man Dance Moves: The McSweeney's Book of Lists

*giggles hysterically* Gods, I love this book...
