'Shindig'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Now I'm thinking of the first time Erin saw the ocean.
I can't remember a time when I didn't know what the ocean looked like. My grandparents live down in West Palm Beach, Florida, and my family would visit when I was a kid. I've never seen the Pacific Ocean, though, only the Puget Sound up in Seattle, WA.
And then – and this is the good bit – I don't watch any of them. But I no longer have the vague feeling that I'm missing out on things. Tivo: it's watching TV so I don't have to...
Douglas Adams had a line in one of the Dirk Gently books about VCRs saving you the trouble of watching TV yourself.
For us, it's the DVDs. We never watch them, but it avoids the vague obligation of feeling like you should watch the show or movie when it comes on TV. "I've got that on DVD - I can watch it anytime."
From further back, Daniel on the laser commercial:
For the last few months, even more, there has been a commercial for a cheapass laser level that makes me grind my teeth every time it is on.
Yeah, we mercilessly ridicule that every time. WTF is this nonsense about going around corners?
Favorite line:
"Ordinary lasers just point"
I just made snack bags for me and Emily for the plane/airports today. They have bananas, two kinds of crackers, two kinds of homemade cookies, skittles and m&ms. Don't you wish you were my roommate?

Yes, I do. I need to make myself up something for the car trip down. I have a banana, and a granola bar and ginger ale. I should make a sammich too.
I should go to the store and buy the last bit of Tim's care package. (I'm sending a cheapo discman in case he doesn't have one, to assure he can listen to rockin' mix cd.) Then I should grab a pair of yoga pants at Old Navy, because my last pair has disintegrated in the washing machine. Then I should go to the gym.
Instead, I drink coffee and watch the American Idol my roomie Tivo'd.

Me neither.
Mmmmm...sammich. I'd make those, but Emily doesn't like them. So, no sammiches.

My sammich will probably be chicken and cheese with lettuce and tomato. I think I'll throw an apple in there too. I tend to undereat and overcaffeinate at cons.
