which_chickVisited grandma and read about another chapter of Memoirs of a Geisha to her. Chiyo-chan is now officially Mameha's little sister and has taken on her official geisha name of Sayuri. There still aren't any sex parts to speak of and I'm sort of getting the general impression that this is not a book one reads for the s3x0r. *sigh* I'm told that today was Americans Read Aloud To Defeat the Red Menace Day or something along those lines, so me reading aloud today was more patriotic than it is on other days. It didn't feel any different, though.
Do we even have a Red Menace anymore?
In unrelated news, I got the first two volumes of Antique Bakery (English translation) today. Man, is that amusing. I've read one (though not aloud) and will likely plow through the second before bedtime. It's pretty. It's fluffy. I could do with some pretty and fluffy these days.
Finally, I rented TA 4 today to people who have two young sons. One of the sons has a normal name. I don't recall what it was -- possibly Jared or something. The other son, age four, was named Trunks. That was his given name, not a nickname or anything -- I asked. Apparently his father named him... and they nodded, relieved, when I said "DragonballZ?"
