Dollface starts summer school tomorrow.

Bun hasn't been home since Friday. She's been helping repaint the VFW hall. She now has a pool pass and a summer job working their concession stand. We just ordered her summer reading, The Great Gatsby and Their Eyes Were Watching God. With luck, she'll get everything (reading, community service) done before band camp.

I had a safety meeting today. The boss called me for directions to the terminal.
I got $50 to the company store and $7 to Pilot and a $7 lunch ticket. Not too shabby for 4 hours.

Got all my ebooks done up so i can read them on my reader. i love it.

Tomorrow: bank and eyeglasses.

*grin* but you hated Brave New World so your taste is suspect. (kidding, kidding)

I haven't read Gatsby yet, but I probably will.
If I can pry my nose out of Bubbas of the Apocalypse
(I love being a grownup. I can read all the trashy books I want)

:P But Brave New World was so depressing. I demand my literature have happy endings, darn it.

Being a grownup would be a lot more fun if I had my childhood metabolism. I can now afford to buy bags and bags of candy, but I can't afford to eat it.

Happy ending=not literature
Interesting reading=not literature

Take it from someone who majored in English.
If it's got a happy ending, it's genre, pap, pulp.
You know, like what I write. 8)
