My friend who is a librarian used to give prizes to her own kid. She made Reading Bucks and for every book he read, he would get 1 Reading Buck. He could spend the money in these ways: 5 Reading Bucks = 30 minutes of TV. 7 Reading Buks = time with play station. 3 Reading Bucks = purchase a book of his choice.

It worked really really well.

There's no prizes? That's a shame. You should totally give prizes. I loved the summer reading program. We got frosties from Wendy's. That's the prize I liked most, I think, since I don't even remember what the other prizes were!

I know I'm being superficial over it, but... I never knew clothing can make me be so happy, dammit.

That's awesome, Shir!! Yay!

Happy Birthday, Teppy!!

Happy Birthday Steph!

I am more tired than I should be today. I am blaming the grey, muggy weather.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am tired, but I am blaming the mugging of the grey matter.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Oh reading bucks sound fun. No way I could do her system though. He gets 30 min - 1 hour of tv everyday. Maybe 5 = new book, 7 = Ben 10 episode (those aren't on tv), 10 = pokemon cards. And designing the bucks sounds like a good time-suck for the day.

lisah! I'd like some restaurant reccs! Nothing fawncy or really $$, just good food. My parents love taking me out to eat when they visit & I know they won't let me pay, so I don't want to sock it to them. And I know, like, 3 places (Paper Moon, Niwana and Mari Luna up the street.)

Well, there's always Golden West! Also in Hampden, Rocket to Venus which is also a bar and can get pretty busy the later you get but early in the evening should be fine and can have some very good food. I haven't been to the Dogwood restaurant and it may be a little on the pricier side but friends love it and I've loved the sandwiches I've gotten at their take out cafe.

Outside of my 'hood, I love, love, love Chameleon Cafe on Harford Road. It always has great local food. [link]

hmm...I'll try to think of some other places.

Oh, down here in Fell's Point, Peter's Inn on Ann St.

I know I'm being superficial over it, but... I never knew clothing can make me be so happy, dammit.

feh, great clothing is like great food or art, may not be necessary but can make life worth living.

Yes! I was there last night and had the perfect burger (w/ brie and apple) and perfect beer. Also, tater tots.
