After cramming my brain with a bunch of other thoughts all day, I believe I now have the luxury of finishing the interesting show I began listening to yesterday morning...

Hellooo...lunch
Frog and Toad books are tremendous. Stories like "Dragons and Giants" and "The Dream" might be the ones that have stuck with me the most. (Not the titles, but certain passages and illustrations.) I've been told that doing this volunteer tutoring thing might not be possible for much longer because of some kind of requirement having to do with just working with adults or possibly tutoring the parent to help the kid instead...what? I don't understand that, but anyways, this kid thanked me for those books as if I were the one giving them to him, and that was sweet. I would like to post an illustration or two, but I didn't check the book out because it was for the kid. I really should own it.
Instead...

Hah. "I had this book when I was a kid, and I remember that there was something deeply, deeply disturbing about it, to the point that I didn’t like reading it even while I had some unhealthy fascination with it. So I seized the chance to read it today, wondering just what it was that upset me so when I was little." (from "addlepated")

Does she count USMA?
Well, I guess it's not the same as the other kinds of schools...
"A study released last week by researchers at Harvard and Stanford quantified what everyone in my hometown already knew: even the most talented rural poor kids don’t go to the nation’s best colleges. The vast majority, the study found, do not even try."
"If top colleges are looking for a more comprehensive tutorial in recruiting the talented rural poor, they might take a cue from one institution doing a truly stellar job: the military."

The pink's no flower at all, it fades away too soon.
The violet is too pale a bloom, I think I'll wait till June
Except for In My Prime and a few others, many Heaven's Dust songs are now online...

isn't it nostalgic...

"But why should I be bothering with this sausage casing when I weigh a grand total of a hundred and two pounds?
I bother because being thin has nothing to do with it. A girdle is a symbolic garment, and unless I want to be regarded as a child or a slut I have to put it on. When I go out with girlfriends in the daytime, I may choose to be more comfortable in only a garter belt, a device with four long, wiggly elastics that dangle down my thighs like hungry snakes lunging at my stockings. When I'm with a boy, however, it would be unthinkable--it would be downright indecent-to let him see my rear end jiggle or let him notice that it has two halves. (All males are called "boys," no matter what their age, so long as they're single.) My backside is supposed to be molded in a rigid piece that divides into two legs, like a walking clothespin.
Besides, if don't wear a girdle every day, the older girls warn me, I'm going to "spread." Spreading is somehow related to letting my flesh hang loose, which is in turn related to the idea of the "loose" woman, and none of us wants to be considered loose. A man doesn't buy a cow if he can get milk for free, our mothers tell us in dire tones."
