I really should practice CHILLING OUT. I was freaking earlier at the awful books and wondering if any good ones would appear. And then the last one I looked at kicked ASS and I'm in the middle of it - extremely impressed! It's doing something very complicated and interesting.
And I came across a short story which also rocks and is extremely fascinating & perfect. Yay!
The chilling out in the sun and shade was successful. I am so relaxed!!!! Also, I'm oily and soft and smell like coconut!
Moomin and I just finished the Capta1n Underpanttts book (volume 4 or something - but it does not matter too much if you start in the middle). He loved it and seemed to get most of the jokes. Especially satisfying for him was the idea of the teachers having to write on the blackboards at the end, "I will stop being such a crab." and "I will chill out" and "I will be very very very very very very nice to George the Great and the Amazing Harold." He said that he would like it if he could snap his fingers and then he would become the teacher and the teacher would become him. "How would you get back into your own body?" I asked. "I would not want to, because I WOULD BE THE TEACHER!". Oh man - Moomin has figured it all out. He has Problems With Authority and I don't blame him.
We are benevolent authorities but it's jail all the same and miserable slavery - with no privacy etc. - to be a kid.
