Aww.

Fic of the Day:Spirited Away

I got a sweet compliment from one of my K4s. We were drawing pictures of ourselves at playtime and since I have sort of a dishwater blondish-mostly brown hair (with some white strands since I started working with children...) I was coloring my picture with brown and yellow. One of the girls looked over my shoulder and said "That's not what your hair looks like."

"Oh yeah?" I said. "What color do you think it is?"

"It's gold," she said. "Like God's treasure."

I admit to being flattered. My hair appears as different colors to different people, but it's been awhile since someone mentioned it. And a compliment from a child is a rare thing. One that doesn't involve how much bigger I am than them, anyway.

Geekiness Thwarted!

Sigh. If I was in a real town, I'd be getting a free comic book and watching Wolverine: Origins today.

But no. I am not in a real town. And I can't justify flying out to a real town until these new meds have had a chance to work and the Dr. wants to see me again. Maybe in two or three weeks. Sigh, again.

So, if you're out there and can get to a comic book store or a theater today, I say go! Enjoy that opportunity. Get your geek on and some free stuff too! And think of me in the land of ice and snow... which this week is mostly slush and mud. It was 25 degrees this week! Unreal. Last week everything was still frozen.
