Any Decent Title Would Be a Spoiler


I saw it coming.

You saw it coming.

My family and every English teacher I ever had saw it coming.

I failed the second half of this month's Challengavaganza. Failed like a failing failure from failsville.

I know how it happened, I waited too ling to choose a book, and I got distracted and then I picked THe Sun Also Rises [in my pants] and then I had other stuff I needed to do, and other stuff I didn't need to do but I did anyway and now I'm a failure which means...

the first half of the month will have to be from the dreaded Fail List.

Fail List
1.Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond.
2.Twilight Saga - Stephanie Meyer
3.Plagues and Peoples - William Mcneill
4.Faerwell to Manzanar -Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston & James D. Houston
5.Hiroshima - forgot author, sorry.
6.A Tale of Two Cities - Charles Dickins
7.Ceremony- Leslie Marmon Silko
8.Cry, the Beloved Country- Alan Paton

Now, as the rules go, there's no reward for completing a punishment, there's no punishment for not completing a reward, and there's no reward for completing a reward.

No official rule has been made for failing a book from the fail list. [my vote fully goes for no punishment for not completing a punishment since the whole point of the fail books is they're difficult to complete] I'm open to your votes.

In my humble opinion, a non-book punishment punishment for failing a fail would be best to avoid a long, horrible chain of failures that would no doubt make me swear off reading actual books for many more years.

So, yeah,

1. Votes for which book (just one book if part of a series) I should read for the punishment

2. Votes for punishment-punishments (if any at all)

3. and Should I start also making video parts to the Challenge compilation?

--next book starts tomorrow.

Panera Blog (again)

"I promise you,
This book kicks
Twilight's ass
DFTBA
-M"

(Looking For Alaska in WaldenBooks on K and 10th St. west)

One if the most tense and exhilarating moments of my life1



Everyone should keep jumper cables in their car, It seems like every time I see one stopped on the side of the road I wish I knew more about cars so I can swoop in be a hero.2

As I arrived at Panera ( I recently learned that means bakery) I saw a man that may or may not have been naked3 trying to start a car with a dead battery; I asked, neither of us had jumper cables. I awkwardly walked away. The one time I know what's wrong with a car and how to fix it, no dice.

There's no music this time.

There's a girl in front of me who ha a breast cancer awareness shirt that says "I love my big ta-tas" I almost lolled. 50% because those breast cancer awareness things always remind me of North Carolina State University.5

I was going to write about books and Kanye West today, we'll see how that turns out later.4

1. It was better than 'Nam

2. It's even more childish than it sounds.

3. If I had known this before hand, I assure you, I wouldn't have walked up. luckily, he didn't get out of his car.

4. Click on it.

5. *Spoiler alert* I finished No Exit and I think people are overreacting about the VMAs just because there was nothing notable about the show but Kanye's crazy and Lady Gaga's crazy.
