I made it World Book afternoon and handed out Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief to the developmental reading class on campus. As I've mentioned, literacy isn't stressed in these parts (seriously, this is so unlike the rest of Ohio it's not funny). I have to say they seemed ridiculously excited to get the book. Several of them have seen the movie (and one didn't see the reason to read a book if movies exist). On the other hand, the same several are going to be in my anatomy class next week. Whimpers.

I gave out the remaining books to my own class. They could use some reading skills too. They did seem pleased to get them. I hope they enjoy. I think though, this might be my last time.

I did draw the tally marks on my arm for Impossible Astronaut day and The Silence. No one noticed or at least not so they wanted to ask. However, at the writers meeting, one of them grabbed my arm and screamed 'oh my god, The Silence. We're going to die!'

Actually we had it at my ML's house (and there is a certain kitsch writing and sipping absinthe). I wish she could meet

evil_little_dog (who might steal away with her dogs and the blue glass collection and and/all of the witchy stuff) and

silvrethorn ML is very much like me (had I decided to marry and have kids) right down to being incapacitated by heat (i.e if it's hotter than 70 it shouldn't exist) and bright lights hurt her eyes. Her rat terrier/border collie mix was outside but Rosie, the elderly hound (collie?) mix was inside and hysterical. She would stare until you pet her and if you stopped, she's cry. She would go around the table suckering everyone. These people are why I'm considering sucking up the longer drive to work so I could hang out more. These are the people I would miss if I moved.

I was exhausted before I made the 2 hour round trip so now i'm wasted. So no decluttering.

And I heard a Kelly Clarkson (eep, this is like the second song I really like by her and I'm not sure how I feel about that. I'm no fan of things like American Idol) song that works well for Kaleo (or Scar and the Ishbalans for that matter)
