Oh, I have ever loved
A Wrinkle In Time!
I was always Meg ...
The scariest part, for me, was the planet Camazotz(?), where everybody did the same things at the same time, and the fate of the little boy who bounced his ball out of phase!
In fifth grade, I got into an argument with my teacher about tesseracts and Klein bottles ...! Egad, but I was a geek!

Hee, my mother didn't want me to read that book when I was ten because it had scared her when
she was ten. I thought it was cool and went around discussing tesserects if anyone would listen. Which they wouldn't.
Right, bed now. See you all tomorrow.

I am just listening to a little C.C.R., though I suspect none of you youngins have ever heard of them. Is Mary still Proud?

You mean Mrs. Who, Mrs. Which and Mrs. Whatsit? They're in A Wrinkle In Time, I believe. That was the first in that trilogy.
I haven't read'em in years either ._. Made all my manga fall over lookin' for 'em...

ARGGGH! We had OUTHOUSES! where we had to burn our poop! You think that's unfair. They hire locals for three to four dollars a day to come around and pump them out...and they do it with a smile, considering most people here only make about 10-15 dollars a month. Then they take the trucks out along the highway and dump them on the side of the road. Pretty gross huh.

The Saudis did not allow us to dig or dump the poo..we had to burn it!
Boy..what's up with the Iraqi's allowing poo to just sit on the side of the road? No gardens around? LoL

The Saudis did not allow us to dig or dump the poo.. They dump everything on the side of the road. Garbage, Poo, oil, you name it. If the roll an oil tanker over (and they often do) they just leave it. If they wreck a car they just leave it. Within hours it is completly stripped and then they burn the remails. This whole country is a junkyard I tell ya.

Yup, I heard about Van-sama ^--^ That's totally awesome.
As for anime, if you're into interesting stories with a fantasy bent, try out Fushigi Yuugi or Ayashi no Ceres, they're both really cool. Wolf's Rain is awesome to in my opinion, but it seems to be a love-it-or-hate-it sort of thing -_- Lovely animation though.
Um... I'll thing of more tomorrow @_@ G'night! ^_^

Are your taxes done yet? We are actually going to get about a $400 refund this time as opposed to last year when we had to pay about $400
Illinois very generously does NOT tax retirement pay and we usually get back about $100 from the state. I probably should not put that fact in print lest our dim governor Rod Unpronouncable see it and decide HEY! there's another tax I can slap on the suckers.
To: GulfWar1Vet
These people absolutly cant drive. There are no traffic laws here, and severe accidents are frequent. their roads suck so roll overs are common. We are under strict orders that we will not stop or be dettered from our chosen route, so sometimes our oversized trucks help them along in the accident when they cut us off.
