Ciao! Adios! Au revoir! مع السلامة!
Or in English... GOODBYE! Well, I failed. I still have not finished Don Quixote. I'll join his crazy windmill-fighting ass again once I'm back from BearAllen's Mediterranean Adventure™. But for now, I'm allowing myself, for eight WHOLE days, to read whatever I want to read. It'll be glorioooooooooooous!

Saved by the bell!
And with The Shining review, we come to the end of season 1, episode 2: "The Lorelai's First Day at Chilton". Yes... that's right, we've only finished TWO EPISODES! I think I'll be in a retirement home by the time I get to the Logan years (NOT my favorite years, if you must know).

On your way there, just when you think you'll see nothing but rock wall for the rest of your life, the mountains suddenly give way to a gorgeous green valley. At the heart of that valley is a sprawling white hotel topped with a russet-colored roof and a majestic spire. And that building is the v
REDRUM! REDRUM!
Just thinking of little Danny Torrance screeching that word is enough to send chills down your spine. And THAT is why I believe Stephen King to be one of the best authors ever to grace us with the crazy ass shit that goes through his mind.
So, tuck in for a lonely winter at The Overlook Hotel and grab your copy of The Shining by Stephen King. #stephenking #theshining
