Various bits

[valarltd]

1) I got a new t-shirt. Dollface sounded out the words on it (Nocturnal Urges) and came out with "Nocturnal Organs" and asked if they were like internal organs at night.

2) The moment every parent dreads: an "i'll be in my bunk" look on the face of their teen. My fault. Bun was griping about The Old Man and the Sea which is Hemingway and literature and boring by definition. She saw the film for extra credit. "Mom, it was an hour and a half of a guy talking to a big fish. That never talked back!"
So I dug out Deuce Bigelow for better fish-talking. She died laughing at the "Fishy fishy fishy" bit but then, when the big fish ate the little one and the line "Women enjoy that. They find it..erotic", she got That Look and fled with a "Guh!"

3) 15 hour work days can bite me.

4) EC is a bunch of cheapskates who make us print our own contracts. I had to pick up 2 at Kinko's.

5) I am the evil opposite of fashion. I got a new coat. Full length, black leather. ($52, choke!) It looks like a bathrobe on me.

Bun tried it on and I heard "The Mission Impossible" theme.
I wore it, and all I got was the "Rosanne" theme song, with creaking chains and leather behind it...

But that's a great line. I'm just afraid if I stand still too long, someone will try to milk me.
