Julie has a crush on Vincent, but he has no idea. The story begins with Julie, Hillary and Taylor hanging out at Julie’s after school, talking abut their guy friends, Sandy and Vincent. Sandy – The nerdy/shy member of the group, Taylor’s boyfriend.Īl – An old friend that everyone hates now. Taylor – The newest member of the group and Sandy’s girlfriend. Vincent – Julie’s friend that she’s crushing on. It’s probably been almost 10 years since I’ve read it, so all I really remember is the basic storyline and the twist ending but I’ll try recap it as if I was reading for the first time. This was the first Fear Street/Point Horror book I ever read/owned when I was around 12 and it started my obsession with these books because I thought it was the best thing ever. After all, they know he would never kill again.įirst impressions: I have the reissued version of this book where the cover is just a handprint with a blue background, but this one is so much better.

If you're robbing a bank & your pants fall down, I think it's ok to laugh, & to let the hostages laugh too, because come on, life is funny. I hope life isn't a big joke, because I don't get it. 'I think a good gift for the president would be a chocolate revolver.

I believe in making the world safe for our children, but not our children's children, because I don't think children should be having sex. The face of a child can say it all, especially the mouth part of the face. I've wondered where this started, and I think it goes back to the time I went to the circus and a clown killed my dad. Handy and his Deep Thoughts collection's got what I need! It takes odd observations, as seen below, to set me to tittering. Handy's absurdist humor touched my funnybone, and my funnybone is a queer little fella. There was a time when "Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy" was the only part of SNL's hour and a half that made me laugh. ![]() 6/7/2023 0 Comments The wave todd![]() ![]() Laurie Saunders is the most perturbed member of the class, unable to understand how the Nazis could “slaughter” Jews, Roma, and homosexual and disabled individuals in their death camps-and how ordinary Germans could stand by while the atrocities occurred. “I wouldn’t let a couple of Nazis scare me into pretending I didn’t see or hear anything.”Īfter Ben Ross shows his senior history students a film about the Holocaust, their reactions range from disinterested to deeply disturbed. ![]() “I would never let such a small minority of people rule the majority.” ![]() We just don’t know the answers.”Įric’s hand was up again. The behavior of the rest of the German population is a mystery-why they didn’t try to stop it, how they could say they didn’t know. “All I can tell you,” Ben said, “is that the Nazis were highly organized and feared. “How could the Germans sit back while the Nazis slaughtered people all around them and say they didn’t know about it?

She came up during the internet explosion. She always wanted to see how much controversy she could get past her editor, and many of her high school classmates read their newspaper every week just to keep up with her silliness. In high school, Jen Lancaster was always pushing the envelope. ![]() Jen Lancaster believes that she has spent a long time trying and failing to grow up.Īnd it is because of the ridiculous antics she has been pulling since her birth in 1967 that she has so much material for her memories. She tried to reproduce those same styles in her high school newspaper, though the author admits that she wasn’t the easiest person to work with. She gravitated towards people like Andy Rooney who wrote with a conversational style that was easy to read. Jen’s reading habits were a little unconventional as a child.īy the time she was nine, the author had nurtured a strange love for essayists. It would be several more years before she learned to utilize that skill. It wasn’t until she got to college that Jen realized she was funny. The things she said always got her into trouble. Growing up, Jen did not know she was funny. Jen Lancaster’s fans always praise her for her comedic skills. That particular struggle drove her to write a series of blog posts and then memoirs which transformed her into a New York Times Bestselling author. ![]() Jen Lancaster is an American author that was living the high life in the corporate arena before being laid off and nearly losing everything she held so dear to her heart. ![]() 6/6/2023 0 Comments Asterios polyp![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() He also thinks about his marriage, which wasn't happy and ended badly, and sometimes, he gives in to sleep, and dreams. While he is riding the bus he daydreams there are scenes from his past that his brother, who was a stillborn baby, narrates for him, with both good and bad memories from his childhood. There, he decides to take a job as an auto-mechanic. He gets on a Greyhound bus, riding as far as his fare will take him. With nowhere to live, and nowhere to go, Polyp also comes to realize very quickly that being a professor is not a particularly transferrable skill when it comes to finding a job that will make him a quick buck or two. He lives an unremarkable life that he very much enjoys, happy in his insulated educational bubble, until the day when his apartment building burns down as a result of a lightning strike. He has both Greek and Italian heritage and both of these storied architectural ancestries are present in the buildings he also designs. We are thankful for their contributions and encourage you to make your own.Īsterios Polyp, as well as being the bearer of one of the most verbally unwieldy names in the American educational system, is a Professor of Architecture at prestigious Cornell University in upstate New York.

Tuttle reminded me of that realtor in Broad City. and where am I and what happened these three days?” Rinse-repeat. The whole of this book can be summed up as: “I can’t sleep, I need to dissociate, I’m taking this drug and mixing it with this sample from my drug dealer doctor…. ![]() “Life was repetitive, resonated at a low hum.” The book, too. When the goal is to disconnect from reality, this numbness can lead to the reader not feeling attached to the story at all. If I kept going, I thought, I’d disappear completely, then reappear in some new form. ![]() This was how I knew the sleep was having an effect: I was growing less and less attached to life. Sleeping, waking, it all collided into one gray, monotonous plane ride through the clouds. This is just a suicidal pact of taking in as many drugs as possible. I just kept waiting for that moment to hit when there would be some introspective insight or some deep connection or moment of realization for the main character. AKA: the point when I realized I do not like this storyline at all. It took me about halfway through the novel to realize there would be nothing new in this novel, just this endless rinse and repeat of self-loathing and drug intake. I saw a reviewer mention HBO’s Girls, and I can definitely see fans of the show eating this kind of writing up. ![]() 6/5/2023 0 Comments Mean streak book review![]() Fog and ice encapsulate the mountainous wilderness and paralyze the search for her.
