Must look

It's funny how we do things just because someone tells us not to. (Shiz, I ended the sentence with a preposition. Speaking of shiz, did you see that video about Mormon cussing? If you're Mormon, you'll think it's funny and see yourself and/or your friends in it.) Here are some examples from my life:

A:
Weird people: The Golden Compass (His Dark Materials) books are so evil!

Me: Must read them.

B:

Website: Beware of graphic pictures (like in one of my favorite websites Find a Death or a thing I read on Snopes about people putting firecrackers in a dog's mouth and making it so he couldn't open it. It blew his whole mouth off, and he wandered for five days, unable to eat. The story was true. I cried a tear or two.)
Me: Must look to the side of the screen while looking in my peripheral vision to see basic image, then end up looking for real.

C:

Facebook friends: I can't believe the news is showing the video of the luger practicing for the Olympics. (Remember that? Where he flipped out, hit a pole, and died?)

Me: Must find it online and watch it.

D: 

Facebook friends: I'm so offended by Nicki Manaj's Grammy performance!
Me: Must find it online and watch it.

I bought nine books for $32.22 the other day ($3.58/book!). That has nothing to do with this post, but I didn't know how to wrap it up, and I've been pretty excited about the deal. (That sentence reminds me of Kevin McCallister.) Also, $23 of that was just for shipping. Amigos, shop online at Half-Price Books. You're welcome. (For this helpful tip, feel free to send me money or a gift card to HPB.) Tomorrow, if my first batch of books arrive, I hope to start reading The Guernsey...Potato Peel...Society...something. Whatever it's called, I hear it's hella good.
