Wow! So I was reading

minnow1212 and

melymbrosia's old book posts (I love the memories function), and I stumbled onto Mely's post on Ellen Raskin, which I clicked on because I just recently read Leon/Noel. And there's this little comment in there that says she wrote Figgs and Phantoms!!

That was the weirdest book I read as a kid, and I still remember the uncle's funny armbands and Mona and the pirate guy and the strange isle of Capri, which always reminded me of those drinks in foil packages. I can't believe Ellen Raskin wrote that! Wow! It was like being in the bookstore and discovering someone relatively famous wrote Half Magic, which was another one of those books I read as a kid (always associated it with Five Children and It, for some reason). But, wow! I'm going to have to dig up that book again to see if it's as weird as I remember.

In other news, a friend from work drew me from my picture with Fool-Rat here. I look like me! It's so funny! And my glasses are half slipping off my nose and I don't quite know where I should be looking.

Hee, I've always been fascinated with having my portrait done.
