HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HUGSBAND!!!! I bought him 2 books and will take him out for sushi tonight. I am terribly impulsive about giving him gifts. when the books arrived last week, I made him open them right away. now there's no gift for today. I think he's already finished both. he was very disappointed and angry after reading 'the zombie survival guide' (that may not be the exact title). apparently, the author knows little about zombies. Hugsband was especially disconcerted by the assertion that one should not hide in a boat when avoiding the undead because zombies can climb up the anchor and its chain to attack. he screamed, "if they don't have the gross motor skills to climb a fence, how are they going to scale an anchor chain?" he hurled the book at my head and I had to duck out of the way to avoid it. I think the guide was meant to be a humorous work of fiction, rather than the bible Hugsband was looking for.

speaking of which, we got in trouble at a screening of narnia because when they showed Aslan dead on the stone, I whispered, "don't worry. he'll come back as a zombie and then this movie will get good." and we giggled too loudly and it never did get good.
