In other animal news, on my drive back to work from lunch, I came through the forest preserve and could barely hear myself think over the screeching cicadas. They were flying around a bit as well, so I think I'll be keeping my windows shut for the near future to cut down on the noise level and the possibility of being divebombed by one of them.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I hide under bed now.
Oh, while on the train today I caught a glimpse of a woman on the platform with a cool skirt. It was white, mid-length and loose, and it had this printed pattern in black on it. Now I only caught a quick glimpse from the train, but the pattern printed on the skirt looked like a whole bunch of dog paw-prints all over it. I suppose the pattern might have been something else, like a black flower pattern or something, but if it was dog paw prints then it was really cool....
Advance readers!!! Those are so much fun!
From the bookseller's perspective--we always loved rifling through them for interesting books to read. If they came with toys, even better! I still have the pair of pink fuzzy dice that came with the Stephen King book that was about the killer car (not Christine, but the one that came out about 7-8 years ago).
Stephen King wrote more than one killer-car book?
Wasn't the other one "Something Something a Buick Eight"?
From a Buick 8 was an e-book he wrote a while back. It's actually quite good, something I never thought I'd say about a King horror novel again.
