Yeah for Children's lit!

As were coming up on the due dates for all those lovely end of the year papers, children's literature has been my saving grace. It's short, so I don't feel like I'm taking too much time away from my work. It's soothing in a chicken soup sort of way and i don't have to concentrate on it overly much, which is a relief after all the text books and extremely wordy academics.

Also went to see Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind yesterday while I was letting my paper settle before revising.  Not exactly the mindless entertainment that the situation would normally call for, but I knew that going in.  I had been wanting to see this movie, but it came to our local theater while my parents were visiting, so I didn't get a chance to see it.  Anyway, much to my ultimate delight (yes there was a happy dance involved) it came back! It was definiately worth the wait, and since I generally dislike Jim Carrey movies that's saying a lot.  I now need to see all of Charlie Kauffman's other work, or well, I'll see it as soon as I return to some place where I have access to a tv.
