Her name is Janet, and she is of the Small Yapping Variety. Er, we're not entirely sure what breed she is – the shop claimed Poodle/Chihuahua Cross, but my dad thinks it might actually be Poodle/Silky Terrier. She's the most ridiculously dumb dog. She gets terribly confused when it rains – staring up at the sky all OMG WHAT IS HAPPENING. But we love her anyway.
Commence book babble: You haven't read the Salmon of Doubt? Ee. It's what happened when Adams' friends collected together a lot of his random little bits and pieces, and part of a new Dirk Gently novel he was writing before he died. It's both hilarious and very sad. One of my favourite pieces in it is when he spends about five pages complaining about 'little dongly things', those connecty bits you get with gadgets that don't seem to do anything. Have you worked out the structure of my bookshelf? The newest/best ones are at the top, then the 'eh' ones, then the older ones I still like (except for one that I kinda hate; see if you can guess which one!), and below that is all the ones too big to fit horizontal. Of course, it's pretty much arbitrary because I have at least a dozen books piled on different room surfaces at all times. (Garth Nix covers are very shiny, yes, and I'm trying to con someone into getting me the Old Kingdom Trilogy, but it looks like I'm just going to have to get them myself. Alas.) I still haven't read the entire Anne series. I adore Green Gables, though. Aren't the Hungry City covers awesome? OMG Artemis Fowl, I – I kinda pretend all the ones after Eternity Code don't exist. I love heist stories.
I hate the fact that the only Discworld book I own is 'Mort'. I want the other Death books; they've always been my favourites. Book babble complete. Returning to regular babble.
The crunchie bits tasted a little odd with the chocolate, but I ate them anyway. Chewy. Now I want to demand pictures of Twinkies or something.
