 I created the cartoon above for a Facebook group for grown-ups who read kids' books for enjoyment. :-) I go through a similar situation (though I'm somewhat more polite about it) fairly frequently when buying books. Some people have difficulty understanding why any grown-up would want to read a book written for children. Speaking of kids' books... I was torn about whether or not to line up for the new Harry Potter book at midnight on July 21st, or to order it online. Encouraged by the signs all over the bookstore, I actually did go to my local Chapters-Indigo to pre-order, but the clerk at the counter told me that it would cheaper for me to order online (!). So I ordered from Amazon.ca (hey, he didn't say WHERE to pre-order). My copy of the book is guaranteed to arrive on Saturday, July 21st, or the cost of my book will be refunded. It would have fun to line up at midnight, but these days I tend to crash around 10 or 10:30 pm. What about the rest of you? Have you pre-ordered? Are you lining up? Do you simply not care? Allison and Jodi are coming over this weekend so we can record "Hey, J.K." I figure the song has a limited shelf life, so we may as well get it out there while we can. :-) We'll be uploading it to the FilkArchive and other venues. You can see the lyrics here (I've changed the lyrics to remove a possible spoiler). If anyone has venues to suggest, feel free!  Above: I thought this was some kind of moth, and labeled it as such when I posted the photo in Flickr. It was sitting on the railing of our back deck yesterday evening. But my friend Dave Huth pointed out:
Speaking of Dave Huth, do check out his Flickr page, where he has been posting some fascinating and highly creative Photoshop creations recently. Like Care and Feeding Of The Chicken Cow. And if you haven't been keeping up with Dave's video blog, check out What I've Been Doing Lately, a video explanation of why his vlog output has slowed down...parents of young children will especially appreciate this, I think. :-) Click on Watch the video.  I enjoyed reading through the responses to my plant memory survey. One of my favourite's was Beckett's post:
Speaking of Beckett, check out this great photo that Beckett took of our friend Taunya. And Obi-Wan the owl, from a presentation at Casey's class. Beckett's such an incredible photographer!  Looking forward to seeing Heather Dale perform tonight at the Renaissance Cafe (1938 Danforth Ave, Toronto ON 416 422 1441) with Allison and Walter. I found out about this event from Allison's Livejournal.
You can hear MP3 clips here, and you can find out more about Heather on her site.
