Delayed gratification

[daemonluna]

In theeeeory, this week's This is Wonderland is taped and waiting for me. (compulsively rewinds tape and checks) Okay, it taped. Good.

We had opera tickets for tonight, that troutkitty won at work, to see Dead Man Walking. (Yes, an opera, yes, based on the movie of the same name, based on the book written by the nun.) Due to spontaneous crankiness on the car's part, troutkitty did not make it back in time, and I ended up going with my mom (which was, all circumstances considered, quite good because she'd wanted to see it too.)

So I'm saving TiW for tomorrow.

But in other news! Shed freaks! Share the notority!

Hee. I find myself saying "oh, dear" a lot at work. I don't doubt that if I tried "shed freak" I would be questioned rigorously by inquisitive eight-year-olds, because they're just like that. What age range of kids?

Yes, you could probably get away with using shed freak. Hee. (Now my brain is conjuring up strange Mary Poppins-Enlgish governess fusion type images...)

Incidentally, I am now attempting to rip the first season of TiW into avis for pimping purposes.

Ohh, me too! And speaking of pimping, I still have several DVDs of random stuff, mostly obscure anime, and *cough* a Christmas card all waiting to be mailed to you.

Being surrounded by assorted children, small or not so small, does the same to me. Friday mornings, I've got five classes in a row in the library and all but one are in the 5-7 age range. And I say many times over:

"Oh, you still have a book out, (title of book). Do you remember that one?"

(small child might possibly nod at this point, or just look puzzled, or sometimes say that they brought it back)

"Okay, well, the computer says you still have it signed out. Tell you what. I'll look for it here in the library, but you have to check in your backpack for it, and get your mom or dad or another grown-up at home to help you look for it. Can you do that? Do you want a reminder note?"

All this is, of course, in my best talking-to-Kindergarten voice. They are teh cute, but I do prefer the older kids.
