AHAHA I had the same sort of elementary school base dream...that kind of dream is awesome. Pity I don't dream much anymore...or if I do, it's the bug sort of dream where you wake up feeling like something's crawling on you.

And eh, I've been reading all sorts of books this summer. Just went from Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance to Dragon's Fire (yet another Pern book). Still mean to go get the Tale of Genji from the library, though.
