Overheard in the car...

A: [in dramatic voice]"... I see you've met my partner."

W: "And then I hit him, and it sent him way across the floor to over where you are."

A: "Cool, and then I tied him up." [pantomimes moving at superspeed around someone and tying them up]

W: "Yeah, let's tie him to the bottom of the ship!" [pantomimes tying someone to the hull of a ship (type as yet undefined)]

A: [as tied-up bad guy tied up on a ship] "Ahhhh!" [struggles against invisible ropes]

A: [as hero again] "I wouldn't struggle too much if I were you. That knot is kinda loose."

[cue Mommy laughter]


I dunno, maybe you had to be there. It just about killed me, though. :)

Random

• Perrier with lime is surprisingly awesome for fizzy water but not really worth the price. Perhaps as an occasional indulgence, though.


• The next paper is due next week! Fuckence! Ye gods.


• Went back and worked out yesterday. Damn have I been sore today.


• Bought wine tonight. It's just been that kind of day.


• Got nothing of consequence done at home tonight. Spent it with my kids. Will pointed out "You don't tickle me that much anymore." Obviously, such a challenge shall not go unanswered. Silly boy.


• Discovered that my tastes have really changed. Tried to stress eat today and couldn't seem to manage it. Tried to buy crap food today at the store to facilitate crap eating, and failed at that too. Know what I ended up with? A thin crust Marghareta frozen pizza for one, lime mineral water, and a single-serving cup of Ben and Jerry's. I even tried to go out today at work and get a pastry or something at a coffee shop, but when I looked at it in the shop, it all looked... not like food. And way too sweet. I even got a coke, had a sip, let it sit at my desk open for an hour and a half, and then took it and poured it out. This is weird. Healthier, but weird.


• Went to the Seattle Mystery Bookstore today. Bought a used paperback for $.99. It will be a total crap book, but it was still more satisfying than the non-purchased sweet. At least I can sell it back when I'm done.
