looking at socks
“Mom! I wanted the plain grey or even the dark blue socks, but not the blasted pink and white striped socks!”
“So do you know what you want to eat? You can order anything, I brought enough money with me to pay. Oh wait - wine. We should order wine first. I’m sorry, I don’t know much about wine. Am I saying ‘wine’ too much? I feel like I am. WOW I am just sweating right through these feathers. I don’t even have sweat glands and I am SOAKED. I guess I don’t really date much. So you are in real estate, huh? Wait, the wine - we didn’t decide! I am doing really badly here, right? OK, I AM REALLY FREAKING OUT. DO YOU WANT TO SPLIT SOME CALAMARI? MAYBE I SHOULD JUST GO SIT IN THE BATHROOM AND BREATH FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES. BRB.”
Or, never learn dating skills from this parrot. (I assume.)
Darlock Holmes & Dalek Watson - from “The Daily Dalek”
is all that I can think of in response to this, which I took over a decade ago with the help of a floppy disk-based digital camera, Microsoft Word for Windows 97 on what I assume was Microsoft Windows 95, and a battered-looking Compaq monitor.

Too bad – I am guessing – that the car is not tied to a remote-controlled release to fall on someone trying to conduct a home invasion at the press of a button. However, one would not want to get charged with homicide for mistaking a friend or postal worker for a robber, on the other hand.

Piano Sonata No. 14 in C ♯ Minor | Ludwig van Beethoven
It has been too long, my good friend Ludwig.
Anyone per chance remember the ’80s PC game whose opening theme was this song? I’m sitting here tearing out my figurative head hair trying to work it out.

Oh shit.
Killing Katie…. i’m ok with this
Barrett Rich is a Republican member of the Tennessee House of Representatives for the 94th District… hmmm….
St. Anthony Falls Bridge… um, OK.
I think that Winston Méndez Montero would be insulted, so it is probably best if I should stay out of this one…
looking at tupperware
… because even a failing dictatorship needs somewhere to store last night’s leftovers, should there be any food left over with the food shortages that I hear of. (Though I also hear the upper parts of the government eat very well, as opposed to the people at the bottom of the supposed workers’ paradise.)
I’m proud to read YA novels with cringe worthy covers. It’s like a secret: The person next to me on the train is reading terrible snake oil book, full of un-ironic poetry inspired by garbage cans, and he’s thinking “I am so much more intellectual than that frivolous young woman reading a book with a cow carrying a gnome on the cover.” He thinks I’m reading something that must taste like bubble gum and Am Not Improving Myself. What he doesn’t know is that my bubble gum book is secretly brussels sprouts and NOT ONLY is it as nutritious as a Summer Solstice day, full of literary merit and wonderful word play but it is also entertaining as fuck.

Adult Literary Fiction Can Bite Me: A YA Manifesto (via apsies) My own excuse was that I had a reason – teachers’ college (first, I was in primary teacher training, and then I was trying to decide on a topic for a BA(Hons) or MA thesis or report) – to buy the stuff.
