| New favorite word: murkiness. I've been saying it in different tones all morning. Current task: babysitting the SmallFive. (We're on lunch break, which is why I'm posting.) Current bit of fun: pretending to be fairies and mispronouncing the word "gnome".
I got the famous movie Citizen Kane from the library. It was very depressing; Kane ends up losing everything of worth that he gets. I also got Hitchcock's Saboteur, which was cool, and Gunga Din, which was funny.
We're going to P'cola this weekend, with the usual suspects. Beach, sun, boating, and fun, here we come!

| I was reading the above book by Bruce A. Ware today. It was one that Daddy recommended earnestly and one that I am enjoying immensely. In the first chapter, Mr. Ware made the interesting point that God is company for Himself. After all, there are three Persons in the Trinity. It stands to reason that they would enjoy each other's company. I realized again how incredible it is that God, having no need of us and knowing full well how we would turn out, still chose to create us. My mother commented that the social aspect of the Trinity is reflected in humanity's social instincts. "As iron sharpens iron..." It's an excellent book.
There isn't much else going on. Star Trek remains the latest fad, though we've watched all of the episodes that we could find.  Christie is reading my Asimov mysteries and enjoying them. The kid has good taste. And I? Loafing through life and enjoying myself marvelously.
I realized something today. Among my library books were two Asimov omnibuses. One was two novels in one volume, titled "The Caves of Steel" and "The Naked Sun", respectively. The other was titled "The Rest of the Robots". I read the former first. When I read the latter today, I discovered that it had those two novels, as well as a few short stories.  It's the second time I've checked out two books by the same author, only to find that I could have gotten one. Oh well.

| A clear blue sky...and out of the blue drops a series of posts! As Tim said, "Who am I to buck the trend?" So...let's condense several weeks into two or three neat paragraphs. If I can.
We discovered the original Star Trek on YouTube.  Mr. Spock, predictably, is a favorite, as is Mr. Chekov. Molly was surprisingly enthusiastic about it.  It might help that we started by finding one of the best and cutest episodes, the one with the little fuzz-balls that purr. We also discovered that Leonard Nimoy, in addition to being Spock, was also a singer. Here's a good video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFmhWlsMjjY
I've finished a story and, being me, have promptly sailed into another one. I've also been reading Isaac Asimov's mystery stories. Good stuff.
Not much else has been going on, beyond math and housekeeping. I've got a babysitting job this Saturday. The kids I'm babysitting like paper plane wars. Well, gtg! TTFN!
Since nobody else has posted it yet, this video was too good to be missed.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkYZ6rbPU2M

| We went to Dr. Guevara's today, and I was told that I'll probably have my braces off by June. Very very happy right now. Speaking of braces, I finally learned the difference between braces and grills. Grills seem to be little jewel studs put in your teeth. Braces don't need describing. (Courtesy of Dan.)
Nothing going on here but life. It's a nice life.

| On days like this one, I feel as if I should have wings. I feel as if I should be floating several inches above the ground, rather than mundanely and sedately walking upon it. On days like this, I feel like singing myself hoarse, turning cartwheels, and climbing into the top of a tall tree, just for kicks. For on this particular and lovely day, Timothy and Joe are home at the same time, my story glides with enchanting smoothness, my ears are charmed by Beach Boys music, and my mind is absorbed with Isaac Asimov's clever and masterful writing. Also, I have just finished a Timothean special mocha: a mocha with a scoop of ice cream under the whipped cream and drizzled chocolate syrup. You know, I think I will go climb that tall tree, with a book and a pear for company...just for kicks. Happiness, my friends, consists of my life.
