Jan. 9th, 2010 02:51 pmI woke up this morning and it was 35 degrees and RAINING. SO CLOSE. SO. CLOSE. Since we're 15 minutes away from the beach our weather is usually more temperate, so no snow/sleet here. A little further north and inland though, yes, there were reports of sleet and some light snow flurries. Orlando sent me a final fuck-you by doing so there. :(((( OH WELL. I will get my fill when I am in Salt Lake this time next year, haha. Still, it's only 36 degrees here now and 25 tonight.
As thrilled as I am about all this, it's really really bad for Florida all around. People are dying in mobile homes and whatnot because no one's homes are BUILT for this kind of weather. Crops are dying like crazy and even sea turtles and manatees aren't faring so well. :(
Also, y'all need to tell me the difference between sleet and freezing rain. I thought sleet was rice-like pellets but then there's something about slushie rain, man, I don't know. HELP A SOUTHERN GIRL OUT.
OKAY I will stop obsession about the weather, shh, Sarah.
I finally saw Sherlock Holmes last night! SO DELIGHTFUL. Holmes and Watson = House and Wilson DUH YES I KNOW but omg the revelation made me squeal into my fists. Pretty much Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law should make movies together forever.
Also, you should know that I was eating toast this morning, like you do, and part of my STUPID wire behind my STUPID bottom front teeth popped out of the cement. I SWALLOWED CEMENT. AND NOW MY WIRE IS OUT OF PLACE. Surprise visit to the orthodontist Monday, I guess, ughhh.
Anyway, the WHOLE POINT of this post is to ask you guys for: book recs! I know I only just asked for book recs a couple months ago but of course I thought I tagged it but cannot find it. I'm really looking for easy-to-read, fun plot kind of books, with maybe some kind of interesting learning involved (Billy Bob and Joanna Sue live on a volcano! Here's everything you've ever wanted to know about volcanoes and more!)? Or just your favorite books of the moment, haha. I need to squeeze Vonnegut in there somewhere because I have actually NEVER READ VONNEGUT, I KNOW, I am disgraced, etc., so tell me which one of his I should read first too.
