Ooh, I bought some of this last time I was in Paris! (Yes, five years ago and I remember the brand of sunscreen. It's that god.)

I bought some in Montreal 2 years ago, (it was waaay cheaper there fro some reason) and I would try to figure out before I left the house if it was going to be sun exposure worthy of the SPF 60.

SLJ is a big geek, isn't he?

The last interview I saw him in, he was talking about riding the subway. A guy was looking at him, wondering, then finally asked if he was SLJ. SLJ replies, "Naaaaah. He wouldn't be riding the subway."

This may have been on TDS as well.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I spent 2 1/2 hours in a bookstore trying to choose books for a 9 yr old boy. He's at that point where it's hard to find something that is challenging enough, but not too mature.

I managed to tweak my neck at some point this morning and by the time I got home half my back and my shoulder were one giant knot. Driving is fun when you can't turn your head very well.

What did you pick? My suggestions would be How to Eat Fried Worms, Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing, My Side of the Mountain or Moccasin Trail.

I got Holes, by Louis Sachar and Truckers, by Terry Pratchett.

How'd I do? Part of the challenge is that this kid reads a lot, so it's hard to anticipate what will be new to him.

Yay! I was hoping to find one of the Great Brain books but I don't even remember who the author is.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Holes is a good book.
