Paperbacks

If you don't read novels on a daily basis then you have no business reading this post.

Hardcovers.
First of all, I'd like to point out that the paper around a hardcover is not useful other than to look nice. Second, they cost a lot more. Third, and final, they are heavier.
Do you want to be caught reading a novel too heavy to carry? That's what I thought. That may be a slight hyperbole but it doesn't change the fact that paperbacks are much more appropriate for reading. Textbooks however, deserve to be hardcover because it helps to identify that it is in fact a non-fiction article of observation.

Paperbacks.
The most glorious thing an author can do for its readers. They're light, inexpensive and much easier to fit into a purse. They just feel right.
There are only two small problems that I have with paperbacks.
1. They can bend easily. You accidentally drop your book and the whole cover is folded. Major problem.
2. The authors think it's funny to hold onto their paperback books until months after the book is released in hardcover. I have three books that I really wont but I don't want a hardcover version so I am forced to wait for months until I can buy them. At church on Sunday, we talked about patience. That's what I'm practising now and forever more.

Now go get your read on!

Just one o those days...

Our journey to church this morning was rather spectacular and I tweeted about it if you really want to see how excited I was.
This is how things went down. So we're on the side road, just your average back road where nothing super exciting happens. All of a sudden, at the intersection beyond the front of the Blue Bus we spotted flashing lights and assumed an emergency vehicle. We thought there had been an accident at the intersection and that we would have to turn around and yet we continued at a rapid pace towards the unknown scene of the crime. Turns out the flashing lights weren't coming from an emergency vehicle per say, rather a parade of our RAID friends from the capital coming to save us from some unknown happening. Four heavy duty white trucks and an armored vehicle obscured our vision and left us speechless until Papa broke the unnecessary silence.
It was awesome.
I'm convinced they were secret service but other people don't agree. They don't have any imagination.
To say the least, I had an eventful morning.
On an entirely different note, work at the law firm has been going lovely this summer. I've worked a total of nine days and I'm so glad they involve AC. The first week was hot. Now I don't mean "oh it's summer, it's always hot" I mean global warming chose this summer to shine its little light. Then the second week it rained for the first four days and was hot the last one.
Don't think that I mean to say I hate the heat, because I don't. I do hate the humidity but that's expected, it makes life less fun. I do hate that the heat makes Voldy really hot, the black leather seats and not working AC don't help the problem at all. It is really interesting to see if breathing is possible after he sits in the sun for 7.5 hours, I just wish this game wasn't necessary.

The word of the day on Sunday, July 8th is:

                      exercise

            Let's use exercise in a sentence.

    Just Dance 3 is lots of exercise.

QOTD: Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.
