half an hour ago, i was spread out on the floor trying my best not to move because of the overwhelming heat. i don't know what it is with this house; hellishly hot in summer but unreasonably cold in winter. i tell you what, NO INSULATION. wanna know a really good method of insulation? use books. there was a book on the floor and i picked it up. surprise! the floor underneath the book was COLD. well, not cold, but it was cold compared to the rest of the carpet. i quickly put the book back down [not sure why i did this. i guess i just thought preserving ANY coolness in the house would be a start]. of course, the book was isobelle carmody's 'darkfall' which is about 600 pages long.
has anyone read 'good omens' by neil gaiman and terry pratchett? it's one of the FUNNIEST books around. i know some people don't like terry pratchett because they think his books are weird, but this one is GOOD. let me type you the blurb on the back of the book:
"we hear the world will end on a Saturday. next saturday, in fact. just before dinner. unfortunately, sister Mary Loquacious of the Chattering Order has misplaced the Antichrist. the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse ride motorcycles. and the representatives from Heaven and Hell decided they actually like the human race..."
armageddon. great subject to write about. it's one of those books you sit down to read and have a lot of fun with. can't tell you how many times i've caused people to think i'm schizophrenic by laughing out loud to myself all of a sudden. my friends don't get it when i do that. we'll be sitting in the library during english and i'll be reading terry pratchett. suddenly, i'll erupt into laughter and sarah and amy look at me like i'm chris mo in drag. [sorry mo]
