...I am Ender Wiggin


I just finished Ender's Game last night. I was in my bed with my wife, who was restlessly trying to sleep considering the nightstand lamp was on. (I guess it doesn't help that my condition doesn't allow me to read silently, what with my lack of inner narration.) (I guess it also doesn't help that my reading voice carries the accent of a 23 year old seductive Frenchman named Claude.) I finished the novel, closed the book with a satisfied smile, and was reaching to turn off the lamp when Windy looked up and said to me with a straight face "now, hurry up and get to class." Had I not known she was prone to talk in her sleep, I may have been a little frightened. I may have asked her if she was feeling okay. Instead, I let out a quiet laugh, told her that she needed to get to class, turned off my lamp, and rested my head upon my awaiting pillow.

P.S. I had a terrible night's sleep.

it's great for reading while your wife sleeps, cause you can dim the lamp real low. which is also cool at other times with your wife when you need the lights in your bedroom real low. like if you're watching a scary movie. this thing saved my marriage, helped me quit smoking, and made me lose 42 pounds. seriously, it is awesome.

She'll do it. I've seen her do worse. Repeatedly.

By the way, take a look at my blog. I keep giving you and Glen airtime, even though all you do is talk junk back and forth like grade-schoolers.

Get ready.
