osprey_archerI feel like such an old person. I stayed up till 11:30 last night reading Snow Flower and Secret Fan, and today I'm dragging around going "is it nap time yet?"
Snow Flower and Secret Fan is great, by the way. The descriptions of foot-binding are so vivid that I keep checking my feet to make sure they're still okay down there. I'm already planning to read the rest of Lisa See's books even though I'm pretty sure they're all going to break my heart and stomp on it: See's China, like Amy Tan's, is a cramped and unhappy place.

The kindergartners are watching Toy Story. I want to settle down in the back of their classroom and watch with them. To...um, let's see...to observe their television watching skills! Clearly an important educational attainment in today's technologically driven society.
