Dear Kid,
What are you doing June 21st (or thereabouts)?
The new movie, Monsters University, is coming out and I think it will be invaluable pre-college research. [Isn’t it weird how “valuable” and “invaluable” mean pretty much the same thing?] Let me know if you’re interested in going to see it. If you are, this one’s on Mom.
The Monsters University website is hilarious (almost as funny as I am). The only (slight) problem is I can’t figure out the mascot, because I would definitely put him/her/it on the mascot page. May have to wait for the movie to figure that out. (If you have any ideas, please share.)
Not a seeing eye snake. This is the super adorable Arthur from GEB.
Just in case you were wondering, according to the website, pets are not allowed at MU, except (of course) seeing eye snakes. I think this is a very interesting opportunity for Guiding Eyes for the Blind to investigate…
In other news, Booker is shedding like it’s his job. He might make a good monster. I wonder if cartoon monsters shed fur or little data drops of ones and zeros…
Happy Today. Let me know about the movie.
Love, Mom
Nerd alert: data drops sound much cooler than the truly technical terms – “bits” or collections of ones and zeroes which are known as “bytes”. Please don’t ask why they’re not “bites”. I haven’t got a clue. As far as I know, they’re flavorless.
If he says no to the movie, Sophie and I will come go with you. Loved monsters inc and can’t wait to see the new one. 🙂
Deal!
