Winter

Boy, winter came in with a vengeance. Up until last week, I had only worn a long sleeve shirt once; it was the first cold night of the year. Last week, we started to have snow. It was cold. And now it was time to break out the long johns and long sleeve shirts as well as the lucky orange hat. This week, it never really got above freezing. In fact, there were nights that it was about 10 degrees. Total we got about four inches of snow over the past week. Today, we had freezing rain. I fell down in the parking lot. Not once, but twice. Well, once was yesterday.

With the cold, gray day, I'm excited to sit on the couch with Mary, who literally just joined me, and apparently watch The Office all day. I was intending to watch girly movies. There's always tomorrow.

That's about all that's going on.

As usual, work sucks. I think that I've apparently been a vet long enough that there isn't much left that is exciting in my normal days. 

Anyway, books.

I most recently read Horns by Joe Hill. It was an impulse buy at Wal-Mart when I was waiting for my oil to get changed. The book lingered in the bedroom so I read it after I finished the Kathy Reichs book. It was surprisingly good. There's a movie coming out with Daniel Radcliffe (who has a funny face? Does anyone else think that?)
So total spoiler alert...

Ig wakes up from a night of drinking to realize he has horns growing from his head. He tries to put two and two together and all he can remember is being piss drunk and pissing over the memorial of where the body of his murdered girlfriend was found. (Ig was the prime suspect though charges were never brought forth on him.) As Ig goes though his day, he realizes the power the horns have on people. His girlfriend talks about how much she want to eat all of the doughnuts and get really fat, the doctor talks about wanting to snort some drugs, his mom says how much she hates him, his brother says something regarding a mutual friend, Lee...So Ig sets out to find out the truth. The truth is that Lee raped and killed Ig's girlfriend;he was jealous of their relationship all along. Lee is an awful person though he hides it well. They fight and fight and Ig eventually gets the upper hand.
There's a lot more to it but its a good book. The end gets a little difficult to understand. Is Ig bad? or is he good?

Right now, I'm reading Fifty Shades of Gray. Some of my friends are reading it too. I went ahead and bought the trilogy and am glad I did. Its super hot. I'm not ready to see the movie. Who would you go out to see it with? Its going to be awkward with anyone. Movies really don't show the level of sex and nudity that your typical Showtime show has...and that's what this book has.
