Various Fun Things from Today May 19, 2008

Posted by Anya in : spontaneous degeneration , trackback

~Talking to Andúnë about The Brothers Karamazov.  It’s an exceedingly weird book, but at least I finished it this time.  Next up, The Silmarillion.

~Listening to the bats in the chimney.  I’m glad that our house is no longer so loud that they don’t want to live there.  I like listening to them squeak and flop around.  It’s fun, for some reason.  And sort of relaxing.

~Playing Crazy Eights and Liar with Miss Dance and Ibey.  Ib’s birthday is tomorrow (the 20th) by the way.  :)

We were playing characters from Star Wars while we played card games.  I regret to say that Ibey is a very poor representation of Luke Skywalker.  Luke was acting in a most un-Jedi-like manner, i.e., he kept tackling Han and other such stuff.

Han:  “So Leia, how come you’ll go on a date with me but won’t tell me if you’ll marry me?”
Luke:  *seizes this moment to throw a ball of sparkle putty at Leia*
Leia:  *is hit in the head with it and her glasses are knocked all caterwumped*
Luke:  *goes absolutely hysterical with laughter*

Something about the timing was rather amusing, I admit.

Miss Dance/Leia, talking about Han (I was being Han, obviously) to Ibey/Luke, who had been mixing his genders horribly and kept referring to Han Solo in the feminine, for some reason… “He’s a gir–I mean, boy!”

Glad that we have that cleared up!

I remembered the book Wise Words by Peter Leithart yesterday, so this evening I pulled it out and started reading it to Ibey.  It’s incredible how much of that book has stuck in my memory.  And not just the stories, either, but the imagery used in them.  It’s a really good book, I’d recommend it highly.
