Daily Notes

I took the books back to the Secret Library this morning. And naturally checked out a new volume just so I can find it next time. I really like the new due date cards. It’s much cleaner to be able to just glance at them to find the new location of the Secret Library than it was to sacrifice mice whenever the books were due back.

I need to get by the new Stonehenge Shopping Center this afternoon. I hear the Pict Hair Salon is having a sale, and the new batch of woad is ready. I really need a professional haircut, and they have the sharpest swords. I’m thinking I might show off my new haircut by taking one of the roles in the Altar Theater. Do you think I should change genders while I’m at it? That new suntan lotion works like a dream and it tickles only a little during the gentalia changeover.

I’m really looking forward to the new federal holiday, too. It’s about time the government had the guts to purge the last vestige of religious partisanship by taking Christmas off the list of federal holidays. I think we can have more fun with the American Pride Day that will take its place. I’m looking forward to the Constitution Readings, the poetry, the songs (oh, we have some great patriotic songs!), and the cute kitsch that always accompanies holidays. I’m also oddly looking forward to reading the student essays about why they are proud to be American. It’s going to be some real tear-jerker stuff, adn maybe I ought to buy Kleenex stock, you think? And I have this great costume design for the American Pride Ball. Since I have that new sequiner, it should be a breeze to fashion it, and I’ll love twinkling under thte disco lights. Bring your shovels!

Another upcoming event is the Citizen Appreciation Day the police are sponsoring. I think it’s so great that the police decided to hold a party to thank us for paying them. I know so many of them love their jobs so much they’d do it for free, so us paying them is like icing on their cake. And I have to say, being police, they know where the best goodies are and have the best parties ever!

And the plans for converting the White House to a half-way house for people with Down’s Syndrome are almost complete. They just need to finish the playground out back, put in the plasma screen TVs, and get the health inspectors in for the final OK.

Itzl wants to go visit really badly because he heard Popeye’s Chicken would be hosting an Open House there to welcome the new residents.

(In case you haven’t figured it out – it’s Down the Rabbit Hole Day)
