drive the worm around.
Apparently I'm off to California again for the weekend, so I won't be reporting for a few days. Don't think I'm dead. We all know what kind of trouble that can lead to, eh? Eh??
I found a great book at the OSU library. It's a children's book written and illustrated by a 1979 elementary school class. The stories are great; they start out simple, then get slightly redundant, then stop making any sense whatsoever. I wish all books were written by elementary school students. No more of this mundane John Grisham or Stephen King. If the story get's boring, just change the story entirely! Don't take 40 pages trying to turn it around. The dog ate too much, the dog got fat, the dog couldn't leave the house...then everything in the house suddenly broke and the dog got really small for no reason at all! Now that's compelling!
The illustrations are magnificent as well. In one, you can really see the determination on a hunter's face as he shoots a bear, somehow without a gun. In another, a boy's cat is depicted as a huge dinosaur-esque mass, perhaps an abstract expression of the cat being...huge and...deformed. But don't take my word for it. Go check out this buk from your local library today. *ba-dap bap!*
