First, we had a Misentity meeting.

Then, I went to the library.

Next, I got some books about mythology.

After that, I helped Ms. Duncan look for her keys. It turned out that she loaned them to someone.

Finally, I read the books and took some notes. The following things came of this:

1. Partially becasue there were filing cabinets in the way, and partially becasue it seems hackneyed, I decided to saty a bit away from the greco-Roman tradition, and came away with books about Egypt, Persia, and China. Also, I learn more new stuff thsi way.
2. There was one Egyptian god, Atum, who created himself by speaking his name in the prymordial soup. I think this would be a really cool thign to include when Alethia and Yunkie get to the island. Atum is also Ra, and there is a whole gamut of theogony that I can inlcude if I do this. Yayness!
3. The Persian Rapithwin= Lord of the Noonday Sun and Summer Months. I don't know, I really liked something about this guy. I think I will definitely use him if they end up having to walk part of the way home. And maybe even if they don't.
4. Anjie cam in at the end. She thinks Alethia should go by Lacy. I will have her family call her that, like her brother and parents in the flashback scencs. Otherwise, she will go by her middle name. And in the school flashback scence, she won't correct the pronunciation of her first name, merely state this.
