Get Cynical

Spoils from my most recent raid on the library. I went there for The World of Jeeves and bounced around different sections as books leapt from the shelves into my waiting arms.

Seriously, I really wish libraries had grocery carts. I started The World of Jeeves (the Jeeves stories are much funnier than I anticipated) and Enemy at the Gates (don’t tell me how it ends. I’ve got a good feeling about this Stalin character).

Are you reading anything good at the moment?

Incredible Speed of a Live Christmas Tree Fire – PSA Video. PSA showing the incredible speed of a live Christmas tree fire. Fire spreads up the tree and gushes across the ceiling, setting the rest of the room ablaze. Smoke engulfs the frame from the top down until all is black. It’s a real eye-opener as to the dangers of a short in a string of Christmas lights.

Can I put this on my resume?

Can someone just wake me up around Aprilish? I’m done with holidays/winter.

In case you were wondering:

All good Jedi know that the best way to survive a snow storm is in the snugly belly of your nearest Tauntaun. Just cut open with your handy dandy light saber, a single horizontal slice across the midsection will do, push squirming intestines aside, and crawl right in. Warm as it is comfortable, the intestines mold to your body like a memory foam mattress. But how long could you survive in a Tauntaun?

Realistically, the sub-zero environment of Hoth is no place to be, Tauntaun or not. And it’s important to remember that Luke Skywalker didn’t need to survive in his Tauntaun over night, he simply needed a warm place to be until Han had time to build a proper shelter. So, the better question might be, how long did Han have to build a snow shelter until Luke was in serious trouble.

Murder = Not so funny.
Anchor laughing during murder report = very funny.
