Very cute, but the barely audible talking keeps being interrupted by loud bursts of music! Thanks for sharing it anyway. :-)

It's all so clear now!

I am, however, concerned about the health of the Tyrannosaurus. He needs to eat a little bit more. Maybe a sandwich.

That is one skinny t-rex.

She's not skinny, she's a supermodel!

She's a supermodel now, but she had a much healthier lifestyle before that velociraptor gave her Cheeta-woman's book about diet and exercise, "Running off the Kilos."

She hasn't even nibbled a stegosaur sandwich; she hasn't had a bite for weeks.

Oh my god, Diane Duane--I read So You Want To Be a Wizard in 6th grade and I adored it and I've read all the books following it and you are one of my biggest heroes and please may I friend you??

Ahem. Sorry. I'm normally not so spazzy, but this is really exciting for someone who's been a fan for 6 or 7 years.

Also, video was cute! Hee.

oooh.. If you replace "6th grade" with "at my best friends house while I was dating his sister" you would basically have the exact same reaction that I had when I made the discovery..

of course i'm a jerk and add people randomly without asking permission.. but what can ya do?

:) Yeah, me too. Both on the reaction and on the adding people without asking.

But I have a story! My purse was stolen a couple months ago in New York City. Because the world is weird, I had the one purse thief with a conscience, and he sent it back to me in the mail, minus all the valuables. I got all my insurance cards back, my change, a ton of stuff. I also got to learn what this particular thief valued most highly: phone, iPod, cash, tuning fork, and my old battered copy of Book of Night with Moon. What good taste!

Haha. That is a really good story. I've never heard of real-life thieves of honor, I thought they only existed in Tamora Pierce books o.O

Oh, I don't think that makes you a jerk. I think it just makes you bold.

Wish I was bold!

I'm glad. I found your blog by accident and was going to ask if you would mind if I added you, but then I realised ... Oh my oath she's really Diane Duane! (I have a shelf full of your books!)

So I just shyly added you without asking.

I giggled through the whole thing. I loved his reaction after the little boy left.

Now THAT was cute...

And I don't think it's possible to miss a hundred foot tall Tyrannosaurus rex.. though that one might be hard to see if it stood sideways. :)
