Well...there has currently been some madness this mouth. A little virus is going around making people fight over toilet paper.
I go to a collage in the middle of nowhere. You will think that the last place to get infected. Well the collage shut down anyways and move classes online. Half the people left and the ones that stay are party animals. After waking up in the middle of the nigh and waiting in the freezing cool rain because, someone pull the fire alarm and then in the mourning walking in to the dorm lobby to see boxes of beer and pizza pile up in the trash. I decided to pack up what I needed and take my chances at home.
Now all classes are online for the rest of semester and I'm waiting for the collage to say I can go back and get the rest of my stuff from my dorm.

Reading the World: Which was Witch? Tales of Ghosts and Magic from Korea
Author: Eleanore M. Jewett
Illustrated by Taro Yashima
Where did I find this book: A private school was having a yard sale. There were boxes line up on the sidewalk. In those boxes were books loosely shorted so, non-fiction was mixed in with fiction. A majority of the books were from their school library and this book was one of the library books. It even still has the card in the back with names written on it of who check it out.
Review: There are fourteen different stories from Korea each centering around magic and trickery.

Sakharine has bribed the crew to revolt against the ship's master, drunken Captain Haddock (Andy Serkis), but Tintin, Snowy and Haddock escape, arriving in Morocco at the court of a sheikh, who also has a model of the Unicorn. Haddock tells Tintin that over three hundred years earlier his ancestor Sir Francis Haddock was forced to scuttle the original Unicorn when attacked by a piratical forebear of Sakharine but he managed to save his treasure and provide clues to its location in three separate scrolls, all of which were secreted in models of the Unicorn.
