Happy Shark Week

[lydamorehouse]

This is Discovery Channel's "Shark Week," and we happen to be at a place that has cable so Mason and I tuned in a little last night and this morning (during the brief rain storm we had here in Siren.)

All, I can say is, "Thank you, Discovery Channel, for the nightmares last night."

Yes, thanks to a scene of people trapped in a shark cage while a 2,000 pound female great white shark thrashed above them (nearly drowning them, and, in point of fact, breaking the "shark proof" metal,) I dreamed last night that we had a shark in the basement. Thrashing. Actually, it was my cousin Steve's basement and I have to admit to seeing it slip out of its pool and completely bailing on my family. I was all, "Well, look at the time," in my dream. I'm a total astral coward when it comes to sharks apparently.

1) Sharks are awesome.

2) Have you seen this? http://www.routledge.com/books/details/9780415876872/
Looks like there's a chapter on your work. I haven't read it yet, but am tracking down a copy. :)

Cool! I assume you're thinking "Ange(LINK) in Harlem" might referrence me? Routledge is my dad's publisher. I'll have to see if he can get me a copy!

It totally references you... I suspect I'll need to update my own stuff now! If you haven't had a look by the end of August, let me know; I should have my hands on the book by then.

Nit: *4,000* pound (two-ton) shark. Curly is very large and very fat. She eats a lot of fat seals.

Excellent point. How did you know I was thinking of Curly?

Shark week, thrashing shark on cage, broke cage by sheer weight, you kinda narrowed it all down for me.

I have four kids and a wife who's a shark nut. The TV is almost never OFF during Shark Week. :)
