Fourth of July

This is why one shouldn't drum one's fingers on the keyboard.

So, this whole 'fourth' thing…

Just when i got back from Germany i was talking to my boss (the one who pays me five dollars an hour to hold his baby), and i said i might like it better in Germany. He said, "Really? Not me. Just remember - you can never get the freedom there that you can get here." And he was a soldier, so he went to other countries and saw more than sights of Luther, Bach, and those adorable little bakeries where you can get a roll for twenty-nine cents…

So, what freedom is that? True, it's completely illegal to homeschool there… And there was something about communism. What was that? You'd better post, Big Rock.

As the seventh month is born:

Happy July!!!!!!!
Happy July!!!!!!!
Happy July!!!!!!!
Happy July!!!!!!!
Happy July!!!!!!!
Happy July!!!!!!!
Happy July!!!!!!!
Happy July!!!!!!!
Happy July!!!!!!!

Great evening

Soo…

For supper we had grilled pork chops and sweet potato slices on the deck. They were delicious! Best pork chops i've ever had.

After supper we went to church and had Vespers and Bible Study, though technically we're studying Concordia at the moment. We just haven't updated our name. Yes, i paid attention.

When we were done, Mom walked home while Vati and i went to Barnes and Noble, A. K. A. Paradise. It even has a Starbucks café. (Ha, i managed to put the dash over the e!) I got five books and looked at them in the café. (Did it again.) They were:

1. Dragon Rider by Cornelia Funke (translated by Anthea Bell)
2. Stardust by Neil Gaiman
3. Beauty by Robin McKinley
4. Benny and Omar by Eoin Colfer
5. The Silent Boy by Lois Lowry

I got 1 through 4, and in the parking lot (just before they closed) Vati slipped me number 5.

An uneventful ride home, then as we were standing on the porch and talking about something for a moment (the back door was open), Vati suddenly said, "Some animal just ran in the house." (No, Vati didn't come inside, sit on the couch and smile.) He didn't know what it was, except that it was about the size of a squirrel, and later he said it looked like a rat. We went inside. Luckily, it had decided to hide under the couch instead of explore more. We closed the door to the rest of the house to stop it's dreams of refridgerators and pianos, as it was sure to have those.

Vati picked up the end of the couch and i propped it up with a chair, and looked under; it was a possum. It's eyes glowed creepily pearly, though not so creepy as Zub's blood red. I named it Henry. I sure hope it was a boy, otherwise it'll get teased by all the other possums. Anyway… I stood in front of the couch so he (hopefully) wouldn't want to come further in the room while Vati poked around with a yardstick. Henry creeped out and, after looking at my new shoes for a moment, left. He was kind of ugly, and waddled, made even more comical by the fact that he did it pretty fast.

Oh! IOWA test results came in today. I was disgustingly average (8.4) in math, but college level (13+) in everything else. Off the chart in some places.

Ha!

I wish i could go to college four years early. That would be so cool.

Young'un genius, signing off.

Inktitle

Ack, no! My whole life is upside-down, inside-out and rightside-left!

Inkdeath is now Inkdawn!

Cornelia Funke said the old name didn't fit anymore.

P. S. Inkspell was going to be called Inkblood.










Crisis over. I went to Wikipedia:

Its German title, 'Tintenblut', literally translates: 'Inkblood'.
However, the Americans didn't like the original title and changed it,
although its first title seems more appropriate for its dark plot.

*AND*

Cornelia Funke stated in January 2007 that the title would definitely
be Tintentod, with the English title Inkdeath. This replaces the
alternative working title of Tintensaat/Inkdawn.

Ignorant Laughing Prince.




Did you get that?

The Delicious Strawberry Dr. Pepper Float

In the cafeteria at the Sem. (during the Organist Workshop), Anna was having (among other things) a Dr. Pepper, and a strawberry dessert with ice cream on it. She was saying something about not being clumzy, i think, when she knocked over her Dr. Pepper and confusion followed.












































And then, of course, she tried it.

Calvin and Hobbes

I went straight from reading Aaron's latest blog post to reading today's Calvin and Hobbes:

You can get Calvin and Hobbes e-mailed to you daily (for free, of course) by going to CalvinandHobbes.com. And to Aaron - i think you can get it in Latin.
