oh my gosh last night I scared Mike so bad that he fell down and it was hilarious. I was so proud of myself. He came out of the bathroom and I was hiding behind the couch (where seconds prior I had been playing with Finny) and I decided to try to get him, so I jumped up and yelled BOO! when he came around the corner and his reaction was PRICELESS! he yelled and threw his hands up and slipped on the hardwood floor. he didn't hurt himself or anything, so I ROFLed for many minutes. Scaring people is my new thing, but I usually fail, haha. I've even tried to scare my coworkers by jumping out from behind corners. hahaha. such a weirdo.
I also laughed really hard last night after I brought Finny in from the rain and towel-dried him, which always gets him riled up, and he started darting around the room like a maniac and throwing his bone all over the place.
Annnddd on a more serious note, I finished McCarthy's The Road this weekend and I thought it was really, really good. Sure, it's a little depressing, but I was prepared for it and I didn't think the bleakness overshadowed the more important themes of the book - what makes us human, strength of spirit, mankind's violent nature, etc. I really respect McCarthy as an author.
