Two books; New Quizno's choice; 2 handwritten letters

Ok, ok.. so I haven't been wasting my "vacation" before everything takes off full throttle being a complete blob. I've done a couple things from my 101 List!

Yay 101 list! I like that you have 50 new books. I need to change mine, because I only have 10 and that's pretty pathetic. I like the sounds of 50.

Hooray for new things at Quiznos!

A lot of my friends have 100 books on their list.. I can only LOL at that for me. And I'm an ENGLISH MAJOR WTF

I originally had 150 on my list. Quickly I realized that was psychotic with classes and work. Maybe if I did nothing but read 24/7, but I occasionally like to partake in having a social life. I may laugh at myself if I do end up reading 150 books by the end of it.

One memory I recall so well from childhood: we were sitting in the living room and on the news came the alert that the Ayatollah Khomeini from Iran set out a price on the head of Salman Rushdie. My parents, who rarely read a book, raised their brows and my dad rushed out to pick up a copy. We still have the copy. I'm sure it's unread and dusty.

I read through your wild and creative list--it sounds like it should be a prescription for good living. You are so alive and passionate, it's no wonder you are so inspiring to those around you.

Mr. Sub? Pshh. That sounds like here when they mean Dr. Pepper and they call it Mister Pibb.

I am always really into them.. then not.. then into them!.. then not. He's like a BFF that just gets on your nerves a lot.

DISNEY YES I LOVE DISNEY WATCH EMPEROR'S NEW GROOVE NOW OK

Way to be productive! Go you. I started reading with enthusiasm and sort of trailed off; For Whom the Bell Tolls has either been buried under something or eaten by the dog. The second book you mention sounds like a really interesting read.

I have only been to Quiznos once when I was on a trip, but since there's one in Lockport now I think I need to give it a shot sometime.

ALSO, thank you for giving me something to look forward to this week! I was just sitting here wallowing in my despair (okay, not as dramatically as I make that sound) about having nothing but a lot of work to look forward to... but LETTER! Yay snail mail! (And I have stationery materials waiting to send you a reply too ;)).

[happinesstrail]

It is! And it doesn't require consistency to remember what happened since it's like lots of little mini-stories (but chronologically told..), so you could even read it as a break from other books!

Yes. i know you'll be sitting by the mailbox, waiting for my letter. hahah, forget that you have a military bf, it's all about my Dear John letters.

What's with bourbon mustard, lately I see all these burger places advertising it. I must go out and try it now. I wish we had Quizno's here, but for now I'll have to stick to Subway.

The Satanic Verses sounds kinda crazy
