Last week I gave Young Indiana the new Pokemon Z-A, which came out the week before. The next morning shortly after he got up, I said, “Have you emptied the dishwasher?” and he said, “I don’t know, have you run it again this morning?” I opened it and it was empty and, as I’d filled it at about 11:30pm the previous night, I said, “Oh! When did you empty this?” Indy, mumbling: right before i went to bed at 5 Me: What did you say? Indy, slightly more clearly but…
After 50k and then a week with a cold, I spent ALL WEEKEND asleep, my friends. ALL weekend. I went to bed early. I napped. I went to bed early even after napping. I napped MORE.

I am T R Y I N G to reach 50th level in this wretched game because, see, I do not play video games, and I never level out in them on…
I have read THE DARK IS RISING many, many times in my life, far more than I can count (I mean, it’s probably a countable number, but it’s not like I have been counting!).
