I'm sitting here

[mojosmom]

waiting for the plumber. Kitchen sink backed up. Ugh. Sunday night rates. But there's no way I can stay home from work tomorrow, or the next day, or the day after that. Oh, well.

I went to the 57th Street Children's Book Fair today, just to enjoy the weather and the action. But I managed to snag a couple of books, too. I must be serious about Amsterdam, because I found (for $1) a book called Teach Yourself Dutch, and bought it. I have no illusions that I'm really going to teach myself Dutch, but a few words and phrases would not go amiss.

Oh, look what's still cropping up on the used book tables:

GAH! Get out the garlic and the crucifix!

I'm out of kindling for my fire place. That could be useful.

It's not rising sea levels we should be worried about. It's rising Wild Animus levels.

Wild Animus, ugh. Did not enjoy that much...

Oh! I threw my copy of Wild Animus in the trash. I still feel guilty about tossing out a book, but that one really was dreadful.

Good luck with Dutch. I've taught myself a bit. That language certainly has some unique sounds.

Oh, no! It's back from the dead! It's Zombie Wild Animus! I think it wants to eat your braaaains! Run for your life (and your braaains)

At least it's the printing with the interesting "tribal" cover art. That was the only good thing about the book. (The later blue cover art was just god-awful.)
