Post-apocalypse Saturday

[oyceter]

I spent most of today obsessively playing sudoku (it's a little scary that I've already gone through all of 9/05) and then reading Susan Beth Pfeffer's Life as We Knew It in a freezing cold Peet's while having a frozen Scharffen Berger mocha.

By the time I was halfway through, I was convinced that I was freezing because volcanoes had erupted and the temperature of the Earth had dropped, that I had to save food, and that I had to watch out for strangers trying to take stuff meant for my family or rats. Afterward, I walked to Borders in a daze and then read vols. 1-4 of After School Nightmare, which is not post-apocalyptic, but is very, very strange. Very strange.

And now I have Children of Men from Blockbuster, and I will watch it now! I just finished the Pfeffer, and most of my brain right now wants to hug my computer and electricity and frozen food and the fact that I have a car with gas! I'm sure watching the movie will further convince me that the world is going to end tomorrow.

I think I'll have interesting dreams tonight...

Aaaaaand this is why I'm obsessed. *grin*

I feel like it's Utena, only all the places where Utena silently screamed "JUNG!" ASN is shouting back "FREUD!"

This is undoubtedly the most delightful sentence I've read ALL WEEK.

Best. Sentence. EVER.
