When I was younger (and, sometimes, today), my parents would pull me away from whatever book I was reading to tell me to go to bed. They'd always tell me to 'find a reasonable stopping point' and go to bed. Of course, for me, a 'reasonable stopping point' was usually the end, or midway through the next book in the series.

The Olsen Twins are in an IceBreakers commercial, and it makes me sad. But the Diet Pepsi commercial - the one where there's a bunch of cans dancing in the cooler - made me giggle, so that sort of made up for it.

Anyway, today in Barnes & Noble I found myself trying to decide upon a 'reasonable stopping point' and I thought of those times when I was little and there was very little you could do to pull me away from a book. As it was, tonight, the only thing that got me out of that somewhat-less-than-comfortable chair were a few lines in the book I'm reading - Stardust, by Neil Gaiman, which I thought was a children's book but isn't at all,, which is part of why I love Gaiman so much - were various inspiring and funny lines that encouraged me to do a bit of work on my much-forgotten website, and take it back to the theme I had when I first started it, October of my sixth grade year.

So go check that out.
