After a week of hard work on this grad school stuff my brain is stuck, or lazy, and I can't decide what to say to the next school to convince them that I am who they want me to be. But I love writing, even this kind of stuff. So that's reassuring. I'm readingThe Time Traveler's Wife and loving it so far. I love time-travel stories and the different ways time-travel is handled. My favorite idea is from the Christopher Reeve movie Somewhere in Time. Basically it goes that time-travel involves a kind of self-hypnosis and if you just convince yourself that you are in another time then you will, in fact, be there. I also checked out The Three Incestuous Sisters from the library today, a picture book by the same author as Time Traveler's Wife. Strangely enough, there is no incest, although Bettine is tormented and Clothilde and her nephew commune late at night. It's amazing. Everyone, go out and find it and read it to your children, especially those yet to be born.
Tonight our house, well, Hope, Keri, and Laura took the little Jung/Myers Briggs test that Evan linked to and we discovered that Hope is Mark Twain, Keri is Lorelai Gilmore and Laura is Puddleglum. I'm not sure how accurate that test is. But as long as I still get to be Peter Jennings I'm happy.
"Clothilde knows that the cause of headache is birds using pieces of her hair to build their nests. Therefore, she saves all her hair in jars hidden in her closet. Despite this, she continues to suffer."

Posted by: linnea at December 6, 2005 10:18 PMIt seems odd to cancel church for a Christian holiday...... ??? :p

Posted by: funke at December 6, 2005 10:36 PMLaura was also describes as Eeyore. Just wanted to remind her of that fact.
Posted by: Keri at December 6, 2005 11:01 PMI'd rather be Puddleglum than Eeyore any day.
