Storytime

I wonder how long it would take to ride to Hester's...

It isn't so far, is it?

I want to read Where the Wild Things Are. I don't think I'll be seeing the movie... I don't know if I could handle it. That story is powerful. Portrayed on a massive screen, in graphics sharper, colors more vibrant than reality... powerful.

I just realized it doesn't matter how long it would take to ride to Hester's because I don't have any money at the moment. She probably doesn't have the book, anyway. What with the movie coming out this Friday, surely lots of other people felt compelled to go find it...

I'm not sure if I ever heard the story when I was little, and I'm fairly certain I've never read it. I heard it first in Spanish, con sus garras terribles... And a year later in English, performed by a high school guy at a theatre competition.

I have a powerful desire to be told stories.

Maybe this weekend there will be stories in New Mexico. I hope so. I'm going to ask...
I want to find a library that has Storytime, and sit on the floor with a bunch of children and be amazed by the power of words that paint pictures. I'm not sure if they would let me, being old and everything...

The library!!!

Tech has a library! Of course! Does Tech have children's books? I rather doubt it, but I could find out...

Alas... I have a draft to write, a poem to edit, a physics test to study for, and some silly Spanish something to do. And I have a million things to say.

Another time, perhaps...
