******

In other news, only 1 more paper and 2 classes left! WOOHOO!!!!!! And you know what? I think I'm going to skip the last paper. I believe that I can get at least a B without it (and will definitely pass regardless), and that's worth not doing the paper to me.

This just doesn't seem real...
stevenswifeGood to see you tonight! 
pistal77fun times yea!!! 
cellophaneI still remember the day after I moved in with you and Lisa and you guys were beyond excited to see about 1/2 cm on the ground and couldn't understand why I didn't want to go out and play in it. I hope it snows a couple of inches for you! Enjoy!

I just learned that Pepperidge Farms has begun selling Tim Tams (imported from Australia under the Pepperidge Farms brand) at Target. And I went to Target today for other stuff. Uh oh. But don't worry, I only bought one package...And I just had my first Tim Tam Slam in several years (with milk).

TASTY!! I miss Australia.

-`-`-`-

stormy weather 11-18-08 06:25pm CST
So the other night I finished reading Isaac's Storm by Erik Larson (author of The Devil in the White City, a fascinating look at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair and America's first serial killer). Isaac's Storm is about the 1900 Galveston hurricane.

Wow. Absolutely fascinating, and Erik Larson's my new favorite history writer. The section where he describes being in the middle of the storm was probably one of the most vividly terrifying accounts of a true story I've ever read.

Anyway, he mentions the Rosenberg Library in Galveston as his best source for material, and from their website I found the Galveston and Texas History Center website that has a ton of photos to add to the story.

Highly recommend both the book and the center's website.

Incidentally, there are also interesting photos from Ike cleanup on the Galveston Historical Foundation website.
sperkysounds really neat. jake read the book about the world's fair and thought it was excellent. now i want to read it too! 
meditationisLoved DITWC. I'll have to put Isaac's Storm on my wish list. 
dhudginsI just checked Isaac's Storm out from the library, can't wait to start reading it! 
burntcoffeeI heard about that book. The Devil in the White City was excellent. The thing I remember most about the storms in Galveston was that the cemetaries were flooded and the coffins were floating into the gulf. 
whipsmileWe are reading that for the Ladies Book Club! I am looking forward to the read.
And I LOOOOVED Devil in the White City. Good choices! 
theparksthats so cool that your families used to camp together! we dont go that often, but when we do- the girls have a blast and talk about it for a long time after! when we were getting ready for this last camping trip, alyssa brought up something that happened the last time we went camping and she was only 2 then! 
alegnaooh, i've read that book and really enjoyed it too! 
misslynnThat hurricane fascinates me. I saw a program on the History Channel about it. I will definitely have to read that book. 
yothanx:) i love historical fiction, and have added Devil in the White City to my amazon wish list:) 
yothose are great. i'll have to get it soon. have you ever read Persian Fire or A World Lit Only By Fire? 
trxI picked up a copy of Persian Fire last week in a garage sale. I'm reading Herodotus' History of the Persian Wars right now, so I'll be interested to see the modern perspective. 
cellophaneI totally want to read "The Devil in the White City." I often find myself disturbed at my own fascination with serial killers... 
hooseIt's chocolate ice cream with buckeye pieces (peanut butter & chocolate), then hot fudge, whipped cream, and more buckeye pieces on top. Very diet-friendly. Haha. 
lefantstafi've never gotten into historical fiction. i may have to try it... 
yohave you read In Cold Blood, by Truman Capote? love that book
