apocalypsosOkay, I could totally live off those Cookies and Cream Bites until I die. They're my cherry-flavored Pez. *bounces happily up and down*
Ooo, I had a history-geek day today and made the mistake of ducking into the Waldenbooks at the mall on the way to work today. And Walter Lord -- the guy who wrote the Titanic account to end all accounts -- wrote a book on Pearl Harbor. *swoons* Someone has been slacking off somewhere, because if Walter Lord writes anything, especially disaster accounts, I should be informed immediately. Then again, I think he's dead now, so that shouldn't be a problem now, except, you know, in the way that it totally should.
The coolest thing about Walter Lord's historical accounts is that you don't have to suffer through a hundred pages of "This is the place where it happened and this is the guy who founded the place and this is the pattern for the doilies the guy's great-aunt Matilda knitted and blah blah blah nobody's-dead-yet-cakes." A chapter or two into a Walter Lord book and there's bombs being flung at you and Davy Crockett using your head as target practice and great big fucking icebergs falling out of the sky.
And yes, halfway through the book, partway through the attack, and I already want to throttle Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnett. *grrrr* I just know I'm going to want to see the damn movie again after I finish reading, and all it's going to do is piss me off and make me egg Bruckheimer's car.
And, um ... OMG, I've got a fan club, sorta. Uh, thank you. :) *shags everybody senseless, then blushes fiercely and dives under the bed*
