- Just finished The Hunger Games trilogy.
:O :O :O
Wow.
Daniel's not quite finished. We've been racing through the books together, making comments (OMG could you believe Haymitch?!) and I keep being reminded of my mom and how we used to do that too.
Wow. - By contrast, Land of Painted Caves is going slowly. But it's really not as bad as everyone said, IMHO. I know I have astonishingly low standards, but I'm not disgusted by it yet. Of course I'm on page 200 and nothing has actually, you know, happened, but it's still pretty interesting in a travelogue/Paleolithic history book kind of way.
It also helps that I'd been warned that the introductions became endless and that every. single. person noticed Ayla's unusual accent and that the Mother Song has not yet been sung.
I am also grateful that it took over a hundred pages for them to get it on, and that there have been no passages of animals mating. That mammoth tryst in the second book still has me traumatized, twenty years after first reading it o_0 - I can't wait for Sunday. Or even Saturday afternoon. We've been eating, sleeping and breathing TKD for so long I'm beginning to forget we've ever done anything else.
- Daniel's gonna need to shave soon.

What a perfect way to celebrate Thanksgiving with family, and spread the joy of a perfectly cooked and served meal. I am sure the table will also be exquisitely accessorized, the music carefully selected to compliment the feast, and all guests will behave with decorum and discipline and it will all look elegant enough to grace the pages of Victorian Homes.
And everyone will indeed be thankful - that they only have to go through this joy-sucking ordeal at Thanksgiving. And more than one person will be figuring out how to skip out on Christmas dinner so that they can actually, you know, enjoy it, with people for whom being with family and having a good time is more important that making sure everything. is. perfect!
I would be so tempted to show up with peanut butter sandwiches. Left to his own devices, I'm sure Chris would show up with peanut butter sandwiches ;)
