Post-apocalypse Saturday
Sat, Sep. 29th, 2007 10:40 pmI 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...
