Well.... I'm so lazy. I keep thinking of applying for a summer job but then not doing it. The thing is I hate the idea of filling out the forms and going to interviews way more than I actually hate the idea of getting my lazy ass up and doing something. In fact, I think I'd kind of like getting out of the house and interacting with people, if only as a supermarket checker or something.

What I have been doing? Some cleaning of the room.

Lots of sleep.

Lots of Might & Magic 7. I started it last summer and got to the very end, right before the last quest, and quit until now, when I finished it. Then I decided I wanted to go back and start over playing it evil (at one point in the game you get to pick whether you're good or evil) and maybe with different classes. The funny thing is I started MM6 yeeeeeears ago, like when I was still in high school, and I did the same "right before the last quest" thing. And I still haven't finished it, because that last quest is so damn hard and I get killed every time I try, even after spending days and days at a time beefing up my party more.

Lastly, re-reading the Wrinkle in Time books, like I mentioned. Not all of them.... I think I got rid of the ones I didn't like (mostly the ones where the main char is one of Meg's kids, or where L'Engle departs from SF/fantasy). Of the four books I did read, Wrinkle in Time itself is actually my least favorite, I found. All of the books work better when you're younger and don't think to pick at the niggling details that don't quite come together, but Wrinkle in Time seems to have the most of those. But really(in all the books), I did notice things like:

--In wrinkle in time, Calvin does NOTHING but provide ego massage for Meg's low self esteem. There is NO reason for the people to take him along at all, he doesn't do anything or help anyone do anything, he's pointless! Not that I still don't enjoy his character. What nerdy unpopular girl with low self esteem could resist the popular, atheletic, but yet gentle and intelligent guy who hooks up with the nerdy unpopular girl with low self esteem?

--Charles Wallace is supposed to be the genius way ahead of everyone with all the powers no one else has, but of the three books he's in, he's only the one saving stuff in one of them. And in that one, he's more of an observer than actually doing things.

Yes. I am the type that does go back and re-read children's books, or even random other books I happened to particularly like.
