day 13 → a fictional book

Hmm, well I already wrote about The Mozart Season, so what shall talk about today?

Hmm.

I was a Harry Potter baby who bought every copy (except 1 & 2, maybe 3?) the day it came out, read the entire book in one sitting, and have only read the last book once. To keep my fragile heart intact. Obviously.

AHA! I know -

And Then There Were None

by Dame Agatha Christie. Brilliant. Plot of the century and then some. Classic mystery, but if you plan on reading it - DO NOT LET ANYONE SPOIL IT FOR YOU. DO NOT WATCH ANY ADAPTATION. DO NOT READ THE LAST FIVE PAGES.

JUST BE PATIENT AND SIT THE WHOLE THING THROUGH.

It'll be worth it.

Hammurabi's Code

And other things. Hammurabi's for my etymology paper. The other things are for my friends. It's my genius fault, really. I REALLY want to make a parallel between the hit show Friends and my, well, friends. But we soon realized that the pool of characters wasn't enough to cover all of our friends. So, we started collecting more characters from TV show, cartoons, movies, books. Maybe what we need is our own original series.

Let's start off with the easy ones... _____________________________________________________________________________ Coach Coach - Nick Kent if you're well-versed in the world of sports blogs - as I like to call him, has been a class...

I've never heard of it before?" a low-budget, 90s film perhaps? "nononono...You know the one with the 娃娃(doll) with the scar. Scary" "A doll? You mean Chuckie?" "Yeah. That's what I said. Scary doll, scared the shit out of me" "Really? Did you understand english then?" "哎呀(onomatopoeia of exasperation- aiyah! ) I didn't need to. So. Scary. At first, I watched by myself, but then I was too scared so I convinced your mother to watch it with me. She was pregnant with you at the time, I think. She thought the movie would influence your birth, but I was scared so there were no other options" "...So you risked your firstborn's birth to watch Chuckie?" "...Yes" ...

30 Day Drawing Challenge - Day 2: Favorite Animal

My darling Bonbon the Chihuahua. Who is more bark than bite. Who hates small children. Who is my favorite 跟屁虫. Who is a small dog in the land of giants. Who does not shiver or have weird body proportions because she has more dignity than your average Chihuahua. Love of my life.
