I love that gift tradition! My grandma would watch lists like a hawk and always get me the best children's books. She's definitely how I get my love of reading.

Is this the snake venom guy he meets?

It's definitely my favourite part of Christmas.

Between my grandparents and the ludicrous amounts of bookstore gift cards I usually get (my family know me well), I end up with quite the haul.

I haven't reached the snake venom section yet. I watched the first part of that video on the bus home from work. Watching the blood congeal like that:

    I don't have a medical background. I have no fucking idea what it's doing to my body... You're not supposed to inject snake venom, you fool.

No shit.

I actually just tried watching more of it then, but it gave me the heebie jeebies. I don't like snakes.
