Tuesday, March 23, 2004 mayhem
I walked down to the drugstore with my mother and her murderous dog. The dog tried to bite a bus, which was moving.
That was unclear.
I mean, "The bus itself was moving," not "I was moved by the spectacle of the dog attempting to bite the bus." I was more horrified by that, because my mother thinks the dog responds to voice commands.
The dog responds to things she wishes to chase or bite, she responds to a certain goofy voice (but only by becoming very agitated), and she responds to not being able to run beyond the length of the adjustable leash. She also responds when the doorbell rings on television.
Anyway, long story short, the dog lived (she did not actually make contact w/the bus), and I am working on my grammar.
I got a grammar book and everything. I picked one that seemed to make no effort to amuse its reader. I hate it when learning is fun, and I know I am not alone in this hatred. However, it seems that most people enjoy it when cartoons tell them interesting facts about things, or when writers adopt this "OMG, I'm quirky! Crrrrazy! and!!! fun!" persona, so that's how books meant to teach adults how to do things are structured.
But this book! This little gem doesn't even have sidebars!
