cute kid's book, yamapi, easter

So, I was in my mom's room talking to her about We Can't All be Rattlesnakes, by Patrick Jennings, which is an adorable book (children's chapter book) which I would link to on Amazon but I'm too fucking disgusted to do so. But it is a great book so you should, you know, get it from your local library. Or mine, as soon as my mom returns it. It's about a gopher snake who gets captured by a kid and kept as a pet and hates the captivity. He gives her a mouse to eat but she's on a hunger strike because she has too much dignity to eat something that she catches in a cage. So the mouse - henceforth referred to as Breakfast - sticks around in the cage with her. Breakfast isn't as bright as the other reptiles, but he's very sweet and excited once he stops being petrified, so he's like the snake's own pet. It's super cute! Most of the book is about her attempts to escape and it's just neat and charming.

But my point was that while I was gone - actually at that point I was using Sandman: Dream Country to show her what a comic book script looks like - I heard msn booping with someone messaging me. But I didn't want to run off, so when I got back I saw the following, from a friend who's studying in Japan:

B says: Hey
B says: I have to go to lab but I just wanted to say hi
B says: and tell you that my friend met Yamapi at his hometown's station!
B says: which actually might be yamapi's hometown
B says: take care!
B says: xxxxxxxxx

I got back to my computer, I was like "WHAT NOW?" XDD Not what I was expecting to see!


Easter was fun!! :D ( having kids from multi-religious families on your flist means more holiday write-ups )
