interesting things about Casper

[flea]

She likes "scary" stuff. She seems to really like movies that scare her a little bit - M.r flea rented Happy Feet on Monday night (against our no movies during the week rule) and when the penguin is being chased by the toothful leopard seal, she clung to my knee but at the same time seemed to enjoy herself. She also loved the Spiderwick Chronicles book that came in the Cheerios box (it was apparently at least a little scary - sounds like a rip-off of A Series of Unfortunate Events to me, though I haven't read it yet). And she likes to read the Lego catalogs and skips over the Town stuff - she wants to hear about the skeleton-fighting knights and the skeleton pirates and the Star Wars stuff and the undersea robots stuff. (She does like the one page of pink Legos for girls, too - little sets of horses and dogs.)

Last night she sat down with mr. flea while he was working on dissertation stuff and he showed her his code and explained that he was a kind of Code Monkey (TM Jonathan Coulton - she likes to watch the Youtube videos, especially one that's made from an anime movie). She gave him a big hug and said he was her furry little Code Monkey. Hee!

Well, once again, Casper has things in common with Emmett.

He was always attracted to scary stories (and only ever had a few nightmares). He also tends to identify or be attracted to charismatic villains (Darth Vader, Darth Maul, Sauron, Draco, the Joker...)

And he has just about every one of those Lego sets.

They could totally hang.
