lydamorehouseYesterday ended up to be a kind of fun day. Shawn, in her new and improved duties as the Minnesota State Archivist (acting), had to attend one of those business dinners with a bunch of conference atendees, so Mason and I had plans to stay up late and be mischevious. After school, I took him to Snuffy's for malts. He has gotten it into his head that whenever he passes an AR (Advanced Reading) test for any book over 6.1 (sixth grade reading level) he deserves a meal out. I'm not quite sure how this got into his head. We do tend to bribe him to accomplish things like learning to ride a bike, and we love to celebrate victories in this house of all sizes and varieties, but I don't remember making this specific deal. Regardless, since Shawn isn't super excited by Snuffy's food choices, it seemed like a good night to have "out on the town" to celebrate all his various reading achievements.
After stuffing ourselves, I was seriously considering skipping kuk sool wan. I felt a bit like a bloated, beached whale after all that grease and such, but I got a text from my KSW buddy and I decided we should go BECAUSE we were feeling bloated. So I roused Mason off LEGO Universe, his newest MMORPG obsession, and we got our gear on and went. I'm glad we did. Class was it's usual awesomeness, a fact we tend to forget when we're whining about the hassle of getting dressed and going, AND I got a copy of Nicole Lorenz's awesome body-positive coloring book: FAT LADIES IN SPAAAAACE. I was flipping through it, checking out all the pictures and reading the funny captions and discovered an AngeLINK reference that made my day. V. cool.
After KSW, Mason settled on the couch next to me with the Kindle version of his favorite Garth Nix series, and I started watching a few more episodes of "Bleach." Mason couldn't resist and ended up watching three episodes with me. Now he's totally hooked (and I'm not entirely sure that's a good thing, as I don't know how this ends/goes.) Luckily, he said I could watch most of the episodes on my own as long as I gave him frequent updates and let him watch any episodes with REALLY BIG hollows. Something about the Menos Grandes really tripped his trigger. Perhaps it was the awesome way Ichigo defeated it in the episode, I'm not sure, but Mason was bouncing around telling everyone -- including a very baffled Shawn when we went to pick her up -- about it.
Our friend Mr. Murphy got an earful too when he stopped by to check out our new chairs. (Did I meantion we got new chairs?) It was very amusing because Mason really wanted to tell Murphy the entire plot of "Bleach" and Mr. Murphy really wanted to tell us about the plot of his newest novel. It was like two writers chomping at the bit to tell their cool stories! Awesome.
Today is my day to hang out with the women of Wyrdsmiths, and I'm blowing off the furnace guy to do it. (I'm going to reschedule for a non-Wednesday.) At any rate, I'm still not sure what I should be writing. I may just write something for fun... a continuation of the Mouse story I started here? I don't know. I should probably also get back to work on correcting the Torrent download I have of Archangel Protocol so that I can get that ready for the lady we're going to pay to turn it into a fancy e-book.
